Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Sora765, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Kim (novel) has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material 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 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 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 designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * 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 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 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 leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 08:48, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Kim (novel), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 12:28, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Kim (novel). ''Possible copyright issues aside, the plot summary you keep removing is written in idiomatic, grammatically correct English, using a register that's appropriate for an encyclopedia. The revised plot summary, added by you and other users in slightly different versions, is ungrammatical and reads as if it were written for elementary school children rather than encyclopedia readers. Please do not change the plot summary again, under any user name. bonadea'' contributions talk 10:06, 10 November 2014 (UTC) You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without verifying permission. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted.

Please take this opportunity to be sure you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Jesse Viviano (talk) 15:09, 10 November 2014 (UTC) Your unblock request is declined. Your work is obviously the summary at http://www.shmoop.com/kim-rudyard-kipling/summary.html with some words changed around or removed, and therefore a copyright violation.
