Hello
Welcome to en.wikipedia.org! Have fun; bobrayner (talk) 15:20, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Are you editing as part of a school/university project? If so, please reply here or on my talkpage. I'm glad that you want to contribute, but en.wikipedia has some complex rules which can be difficult for new editors - we'd like to help you work within these rules.
 * School projects face some specific problems so it's a good idea for the tutor/instructor to talk to us first - please ask them to contact me or read this.

FesTVal
Hello. It's fine for you to continue expanding this article, but please do not remove the references and categories which had been added, and please do not remove the introduction which has been written in grammatical English and encyclopedic style. I also removed a large amount of material you re-added because it was a copyright violation - a direct translation from http://www.festivaltelevisionyradio.com/festval.php. I know the Spanish Wikipedia article has this text, but they are in violation of copyright too and you must not use that article for English Wikipedia. I'm going to add some links below to explain why you cannot not do this, and how to avoid future copyright problems. Voceditenore (talk) 08:44, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Avoiding copyright problems
Hello, and welcome. Your addition to FesTVal has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or 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 a cited source. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also 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 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.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 if 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 without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in 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 visit me at my talk page or to reach out to your campus ambassador. Thank you. Voceditenore (talk) 08:44, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
