Saint Philomena School
This article is a listing of various schools called Saint Philomena. It is not meant to be about one particular school. ... disco spinster   talk  02:30, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
 * , I actually did this person a solid: Saint Philomena School, Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Maybe that'll stop them from messing up the DAB page. Drmies (talk) 02:55, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Kapoktree! Your additions to Saint Philomena School 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. DanCherek (talk) 08:40, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

World Wide Web
You will have to come to terms with the fact that yours isn't the only school referred to as "Saint Philomena School". The Internet, including Google and Wikipedia, is there to serve everybody, the world over. That your school does not come first, or as the only result of people searching for St. Philomena School, is not of any concern to anybody but yourself, it seems. You'll just have to get used to that. So please stop messing with Wikipedia articles, unless you plan to improve the project, not just please yourself. signed, Willondon (talk) 19:23, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
