Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Nicole8134, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Alberta Odell Jones 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. (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) 12:47, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Maybe Dianna we should just sue you and Wikipedia for publishing period since you never got consent from the family or me to use any of the content. I don't have to have copyright permission when I am the original author of material. So, I will check with my grandmother Ms. Shanklin and see if she would like to bring suit against you and Wikipedia for publishing without her permission, consent, or even verifying what was published is the truth about my Aunt's life and legacy.

 * While you are free to resolve disputes you have by taking them to court, if you wish to do so you will not be able to edit here while such action is unresolved. Please withdraw your threat of legal action immediately, or I will block you from editing. As an aside, permission from an article subject is not required; what we write is (or should be) a summary of what others have written about a subject. stwalkerster (talk) 13:23, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Your recent edits to user talk:Diannaa could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:30, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

While you are welcome to contact your lawyer or initiate legal action, threatening people with legal action is not permitted. You need to immediately retract this threat of legal action or be blocked from editing. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:36, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Legal threats on my talk page. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:48, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
