Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Jimmybobby1985, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Hotham Park have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 here.


 * 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * 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 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.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * 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 in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:14, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Mewsbrook Park
Hello Jimmy, thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia! Unfortunately, I notice that your Mewsbrook Park article seems to copy a lot of text from this article with minor modifications. Unfortunately, it is not possible to use coprighted text on Wikipedia, or to use close paraphrases of copyrighted text (as in where the basic sequencing and content comes from another person's writing but each sentence is slightly modified). Feel free to contact me below this message if you want to discuss things with me. I recommend that you rewrite and shorten your article, focusing adding citations to reliable sources such as government and news websites or professionally published books on local history or your article is likely to be erased. Separately, thank you for your image uploads–I've organised them into categories and linked them from each of your articles (you can see the links at centre-right viewed on a desktop computer, as a link to a Wikimedia Commons category).

 * Hi there, this is dissapointing. The website you’ve found, I’d humbly suggest, has copied Wikipedia. Looking at other pages, it would seem they’ve copied these too. What I have written is original, and relevant sections referenced to the local government website. It would be a shame for this to be erased as it took quite some time to put together, only for it to be copied. Not to worry, then–in that case that's fine.

 * Ok, many thanks Blythwood. Thanks also for the work you’ve done on the article. Jimmybobby1985 (talk) 19:22, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi there. Thanks again for your edits to Wikipedia. As you're new to Wikipedia, I suggest that you take some time to first start editing other people's articles, before creating new articles. This will help build your knowledge and skills of how to use Wikipedia. When you're ready to create your first article, perhaps create it in your sandbox and then request that it be published.... a simple one button process. That way your new article will be queued for review and an experienced editor will provide feedback to you directly, or, if all is good, give the go ahead for the article to be published. This review and feedback process is valuable in helping new users (just like you) to develop their skills. Finally, I encourage you to become a registered member of the Wikipedia community. It will mean that you can communicate clearly and transparently with other Wikipedia users. Having said all the above, please take a few moments to review my edits to Mewsbrook Park at this and subsequent edits and also here. Cheers and happy editing.
