User talk:Javc100

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Miraism
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Miraism, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.miraismo.org/en/what_is_miraism.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) MadmanBot (talk) 15:06, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Miraism
Hello Javc100,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Miraism for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks,  Dewritech (talk)  15:15, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Copyright, etc
A lot of people don't understand copyright. (As a writer, I have to understand it to some extent at least...) Anything that is published (made available to the public) is copyright simply by being published. (At one time, this wasn't the case - now in the vast majority of the world it is this way.) Things that are published that aren't copyright are mainly things in the public domain through being old (70 years after author's death in many countries), or by being published by certain government departments (mostly USA). There are things that are copyright but which can be copied. Wikipedia is one - we are licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0. Anyone, anywhere can use content from Wikipedia for any purpose so long as they acknowledge where it is from. CC-BY-NC-SA is different - that means no commercial use can be made, but non-commercial use is free. Anything that says © or 'All rights reserved' is definitely copyright and must not be brought in. Anything that doesn't say should be treated as copyright. More details at WP:COPYVIO. It's a big subject and I'm just giving a quick introduction. Now, your article. So long as you can show that the subject has notability (WP:GROUP for groups, WP:BIO for people, WP:CORP for companies and many more for which see WP:GNG), and you can prove this with reliable independent sources (WP:RS), go ahead. Make your first version in your userspace at User:Javc100/DRAFT (just click and save). When you get going, ask for advice and help. There is The Teahouse WP:TEAHOUSE where there are friendly people who can answer questions, or contact someone like User:MelanieN. Reliable independent sources don't include own sites, blogs, wikis, forums, wordpress pages, AboutUs, Facebook etc, YouTube etc, and many more. Peridon (talk) 17:26, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
