Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Latenighteditor1! Your additions to Sanjay Arora (officer) 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. Please 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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:58, 23 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Diannaa,
 * The content is not from the source that you are citing, it was available on the About DG page on ITBP website. The content there was also written by me for the website. Additionally, this content is data that is freely available on the internet, it is essentially the posts held by the officer at different points in his life. This data is in the public domain without any copyright issues.
 * I am therefore restoring all the data that has been removed. It is my data that has been utilised by the newspapers, that is why you will also see the exact same data being used by multiple media outlets. I hope this will not be an issue again. Latenighteditor1 (talk) 01:59, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * It's not unusual for the same content to appear in multiple places online. The fact that text has been published on the Internet does not make it public domain; in fact the opposite is true. The Indo Tibetan Border Police webpage is marked as copyright, and their copyright policy is here. I am removing it again. Please don't re-add it, or you will be blocked from editing. — Diannaa (talk) 12:39, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your response. But I would like to reiterate, the information about an officer's postings and activities are put out by the government for the information of the public and is not copyrighted information. Latenighteditor1 (talk) 17:58, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * You are incorrect. In India, government works are copyright for 60 years from date of publication. Please don't re-add the text, or you will be blocked from editing. — Diannaa (talk) 00:40, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't understand, this is like saying we cannot mention that Obama was the president of the USA because some newspaper or government has put the information out. It is also common knowledge.
 * Plus the subject is my own father, the details are mine. Latenighteditor1 (talk) 02:37, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

 * It is not copyright material. I wrote it for a government website which was then copied by media outlets. The data itself is open source as it pertains to government information that has been put out over the years.
 * I am restoring the data, I hope it will not be a problem again. Latenighteditor1 (talk) 02:03, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
