Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Matt Charlton Pigeon Row, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Sandra Faire 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) 12:28, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Sandra Faire
Please note that while we welcome updates to our content, there are rules that you have to follow. In addition to the WP:COPYRIGHT issue you were already advised of, you still have to write in a neutral tone, not a public relations tone, additions have to be properly referenced to reliable sources, and you have to be careful not to break references by inserting content in the middle of them. Also, please familiarize yourself with our conflict of interest rules; as a person who is obviously getting paid to edit Wikipedia on behalf of PR clients, you get no special privilege to control the content or make up your own rules for yourself. The article and its content and its sourcing follow our rules, not Sandra Faire's public relations wishes. You may post to Talk:Sandra Faire to request edits if there's any information we're missing, but you will have to provide reliable sources to support them and the writing tone will be modulated according to our rules if necessary — but you do not get free rein to turn the article into a public relations profile that reads like (or is copied wholesale from) Sandra Faire's own website.
