Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Joshdelgado08, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Holy Family School of Quezon City 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.  All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
 * 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.
 * 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. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 06:19, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Joshdelgado08. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Holy Family School of Quezon City, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Since you state that you work there you appear to have a conflict of interest. Meters (talk) 03:05, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that you have made an edit summary that did not appear to be appropriate, civil or otherwise constructive, and it may have been removed. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -WayKurat (talk) 04:11, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, please read WP:OWN. Based on what you said on the edit summary, it seems that you won't allow any editors to modify the said article ("don't you dare change"). -WayKurat (talk) 04:13, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Retiring
If you wish to retire, you may put  on your user and user talk pages.

You may also remove older messages from your talk page. They will be available in the page history.

While I am happy that you will no longer be editing pages in which you have a conflict of interest, I am sorry if we "ran you off." We, your fellow editors, should have been more polite and welcoming, while staying firm with respect to policies and guidelines.

For our lack of professionalism, I apologize.

You are welcome to resume editing on topics which you have no conflict of interest at any time. I hope you do.

Your students are also welcome to edit provided they are mature enough to do so. Wikipedia has special outreach programs to schools who wish to have students edit Wikipedia as part of their curriculum. See Education program for details. If your school has a photography club or photography department, the Wikimedia Commons at commons:Main Page is also a good place for students to contribute. There is a collection of links at Commons:Category:Wikipedia Education Program with more details on the Education program at the Commons. Further details for all Wikimedia project Education program activities are available at Wikimedia:Education.

I would caution you to not use Wikimedia/Wikipedia projects to advertise or promote your school or any other topic for that matter. The purpose of Wikimedia/Wikipedia projects is to educate, not advertise.

I hope to see you return to editing someday. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  12:55, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
