Thanks for the response
Thanks for the welcome. Actually I have been an anonymous/non-logged-in contributor to the Wikipedia for a number of years, but I finally decided to become a full-fledged Wikipedian at last.

You will be hearing a lot from me in the next few months, esp. I go around and clean up some articles within my field of expertise (Africa -- I've been in Cameroun & Nigeria for nearly a decade now).

Thanks again! Jalabi99 15:28, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:MichelleMonaghanWelcome.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:MichelleMonaghanWelcome.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use  .)  If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Thanks so much. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 01:47, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for finding that one for me. I thought I had added the fair use tag, but apparently I didn't. Jalabi99 15:56, 18 August 2005 (UTC)


 * It also needs a source. Lupo 11:09, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Images need sources
Please provide sources for all images you've uploaded. Note that "fair use" claims such as on Image:MilenaVelba.jpg can be made only if a source is given, and furthermore must have a detailed rationale addressing the four points of fair use. Thank you. Lupo 11:25, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

OK. I will try and track down the source that picture. Thanks for the tip. Jalabi99 13:59, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Original research
Wow. Please read No original research. I admit to a minimal, but (IMO) necessary, bending of WP:V, WP:NOR, and WP:RS in order to determine the fact of Ms. Devi's death. That does not mean that we should just flout those polices altogether by writing an original account of her death. It is well-researched, but original research is inappropriate for Wikipedia. Please post it in some other website. I am going to revert your contribution, and mention that there has been confusion over her death. This is nothing personal and I hope you appreciate that it is simply a matter of how this encyclopedia is put together. - Will Beback 08:35, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow, too. In this particular case, I tend to disagree with your assessment. If I get you straight, that means that I would have to put up the information that I have rather painstakingly synthesized on another website and then quote/reference myself? I'd do that, but it would be a little hard for me to find a site willing to put up with that...unless you are saying that I should start a blog or something...which would then join the 3.5 billion other blogs that no one but their authors read :)


 * I tell you what: instead of reverting my text, which essentially just wiped it away forever, could you at least place it here on my talk page, so, if nothing else, I can admire my own handiwork? (and if it is considered inappropriate to repost this section from my own talk page here on your talk page as well, I apologize, but I don't have an idea if you were watching my talk page or not...so when you reply on my talk page, you can always delete this section from yours) -- Jalabi99 22:11, 24 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Here you go: user:Jalabi99/Angela Devi. Cheers, -Will Beback 22:18, 24 April 2006 (UTC)


 * stands back to admire his handiwork
 * Thanks, mate! :) -- Jalabi99 22:25, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Don't know who added this to the front page of my talk page, so I moved it here....
Ummm That is a good thought. Maybe she know longer wants to be known as Angela Devi and A.D. is dead maybe not.Hanging herself just doesn't fit the bill for me. By the foxes own "Payton" is her best friend. I truly have to let this go for now,because this is turning into an "hey Elvis is not  dead he still alive just chillin somewere"!That's is the same situation with Angela-same as my boy Tupac.

Shar (model) proposed for deletion
An article that you have been involved in editing, Shar (model), has been proposed for deletion. Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. AmiDaniel (Talk) 06:21, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:BustyHeartBoobcrush.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:BustyHeartBoobcrush.gif. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Image Tagging Image:Sukanya Krishnan.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sukanya Krishnan.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey 13:37, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Re:Vida
I'm actually in agreement with you there. Somewhat bland, in my opinion. --TJive 15:51, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Multiracial people
When adding people to this list, please add a source that describes them as "multiracial" or "biracial". I'm working on fixing up and fully sourcing that list that way, and then getting the tag off. Cheers Mad Jack 02:54, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that the source should better be shown/referenced in the article for the person concerned, rather than at the end of the "List of multiracial people" list. This is so that the list page doesn't grow out of control. As it is, what with your insistence on adding the reference source at the bottom, the list page size has practically doubled. This is not exactly adding to the readability of the list. -- Jalabi99 02:58, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, well I'm not going to insist on this method of sourcing - so if you want to change it back - go ahead. Mad Jack 02:59, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Okidokey! :) Thanks for your blessing. -- Jalabi99 03:00, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:TIME India Inc.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:TIME India Inc.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Yamla 15:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Punk music
Whats up? Hi, I'm trying to gather some more interest and support for the WikiProject Punk music. Please check out the topics and lets get our WikiProject to function better. Recently, I've taken an interest in the WikiProject hip hop and I consider that WikiProject to be better developed. I am now writing to usernames on the hiphopWP who might be interested in helping with the punkmusicWP. Hopefully we can all work together to improve articles relating to punk as has been done well with hip hop. Finally, I am trying to gather support and opinions concerning the punk house article and specifically the Theta Beta Potata article which is currently in AfD (x2) at Articles for deletion/Theta Beta Potata (second nomination). Please check it out and voice your opinion. Xsxex 09:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

An article that you have been involved in editing, Baz Bamigboye, has been listed at Articles for deletion/Baz Bamigboye. Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Mr Stephen 20:43, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Peanuts copyright violation
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I irrevocably release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, for use on Wikipedia and elsewhere."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Specifically, the information you added in this edit is a direct copy from the Fantagraphics press release. Steve block Talk 22:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:MegalynEchikunwoke.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:MegalynEchikunwoke.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 20:46, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

AMA request
Hello! I saw the request that you had placed for an advocate here. If you still need help, I would certainly be willing to do so. If you do still need some assistance, you can contact me on my talk page or by email if you would prefer to communicate privately. If you no longer require assistance, please let me know as well, and I'll close out the case. Thanks! Seraphimblade Talk to me 10:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oops, I didn't notice that Seraphimblade posted this already. In any case, I posted some discussion on the page as well as taking on the case (for now at least). I will gladly defer the case to Seraphimblade if you would prefer. In any case, please read the notes here: Association of Members' Advocates/Requests/March 2007/Jalabi99. Thanks! -Cquan 19:30, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Cquan or Seraphimblade, I am willing to take help from either or both of you, please :) -- Jalabi99 19:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm very willing to work alongside Cquan, no use in anyone shoving each other! :) As to doing DRV, I'd focus on the early closure of the AFD, and perhaps the expression of opinion in the closing statement. Seraphimblade Talk to me 01:51, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright, let's get started here then...first, which outcome do you want? Just a personal copy for your own use, or for the content to be restored here? Seraphimblade Talk to me 09:40, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Here is the text of the deleted article. This is strictly for personal use only and should not be used to recreate the article. --kingboyk 14:32, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:630587123X.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:630587123X.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 14:45, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Susie Sorrento
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Susie Sorrento, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Susie Sorrento seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Susie Sorrento, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:WaymanTisdaleDecisions.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading Image:WaymanTisdaleDecisions.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Image copyright problem with Image:Hot 98.3 FM logo.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Hot 98.3 FM logo.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Polly (Parrot) 21:28, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Hot 98.3 FM logo.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Hot 98.3 FM logo.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:31, 23 May 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 21:31, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Liz Cho Eyewitness News 20080922.png
A tag has been placed on Image:Liz Cho Eyewitness News 20080922.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Jalabi99! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Famke Janssen
You previously made edits to the article on Famke Janssen with regard to her modelling data and measurements. There have been efforts to clean up this information and present this in a non-trivia/trivial way. It seems best to include this information in the infobox, and since the infobox for Model/Actress was deprecated and deleted the best available way to do this is to use the Model infobox with the occupation Actress also filled in. One editor is insisting on using the Actress template and offering no alternative way to present this information, see Talk:Famke Janssen and it seems to me to go against the consensus of the people who previously worked on the article and took great care to include this information. As you have worked on the article before I would greatly appreciate your input, or even just a comment to show there is a consensus to include this information. -- Horkana (talk) 13:55, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Deadly Weapons (1974) DVD cover.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Deadly Weapons (1974) DVD cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:40, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Geeta Guru-Murthy


The article Geeta Guru-Murthy has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Ironholds (talk) 18:39, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Michael Okwu


A tag has been placed on Michael Okwu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 21:54, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Geeta Guru-Murthy


The article Geeta Guru-Murthy has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Appears to be a non-notable presenter. Only claims of notability appear to be for her brother and husband, and notability is not inherited.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Narmeen Choudhury, a page you created has not been edited in at least 180 days.

Replaceable fair use File:Agam Darshi and Juan Riedinger.jpg.gif
Thanks for uploading File:Agam Darshi and Juan Riedinger.jpg.gif. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:14, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Foluke Daramola-Salako.png


A tag has been placed on File:Foluke Daramola-Salako.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Jalabi99! Your additions to Batgirl (film) have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 12:50, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
