Copyright
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site the statement: "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike".

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the Help Desk. You can also leave a message on my talk page.

Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. &#39;&#39;&#39;&#39;&#39;Nz101&#39;&#39;&#39;&#39;&#39;&#60;small&#62;&#60;sup&#62;&#91;&#91;User:Nz101&#124;Userpage&#93;&#93;&#60;/sup&#62;&#60;sub&#62;&#91;&#91;User_talk:Nz101&#124;Talkpage&#93;&#93;&#60;/sub&#62;&#60;/small&#62; (talk) 23:32, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello Marlboro119. Please undo your edit that re-added that content, and I will explain. I saw your edit summary about having permission to use it. Unfortunately, because we can't independently verify that permission has been given, that material as it stands now is still a copyright violation. Because of the license Wikipedia publishes under, we need some more things done before before we can accept this text. Since Wikipedia releases its content under This Free License (which allows anyone anywhere to use, re-use, modify, parody, sell for a profit, or basically any purpose whatsoever), we must ensure that source material is similarly licensed. While the owners may permit this content to be used here, I imagine they don't want it changed, sold, or any of the other possibilities that our free license allows.

So in order to use this text on Wikipedia, the source web page must release its content under the same license (which allows all those same uses I mentioned), or they can release just this text under that license (again with the same understanding of how it may be used by anyone). For instructions on how to do that, see This Link. That will entail some emailing to prove the owners of that text are in fact authorizing its release, and confirming they understand what that entails.

In the meantime, the copyrighted text must be removed, but can easily be re-inserted once permission is processed. Thanks for your understanding, Crow  Caw  23:38, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
