Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Sun Moon Montain, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Eddie Martinez (artist) 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) 13:57, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:52, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello Sun Moon Montain. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Sun Moon Montain. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:52, 7 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Artists and IP cameras. Special:Diff/927551280 (at IP camera) looks strange to me – what was the motivation for writing this? Eddie_Martinez_(artist) contained text copied 1:1 from a PDF at timothytaylor.com; there have been more than just "tone" issues with your contributions. You should probably start the unblock request by explaining which sources you have used for your deleted draft about Joshua Brennan. Since you were able to recreate the page after deletion, you surely still have access to the text. Where does your information come from? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 03:32, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Hmm, hmm. To the reviewing administrator(s): I do not object to an unblock; the paid editing concern isn't strong enough on second thought. The explanation is unusual, but credible. There is no off-wiki evidence, to my knowledge, about paid editing here. When reviewing, please focus on the copyright part and the article creation. Feel free to unblock if these concerns have been addressed. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:36, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Almost all of us, when we start editing Wikipedia, know little or nothing about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, so nobody can be blamed for starting out doing things that are contrary to policies and guidelines that they don't know about. In my early days editing I did things which I later realised were out of line with what is acceptable on Wikipedia, but I was lucky enough to get away with them. You were not so lucky, but you appear to be willing to learn from your mistakes, and I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be given another chance. The blocking administrator, has also indicated that he does not object to unblocking, so I shall unblock your account. However, here are a few pieces of advice, to help you avoid being blocked again. I hope at least some of those comments may be helpful to you. JBW (talk) 20:33, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Make sure that what you write is written from a neutral point of view. Just a few bits of what you have written read to me like straight promotion (such as "It won’t be too long when Oshi makes another splash again") but much of it gives a general feel that it was written by someone with an enthusiasm for the person it is about. Of course there is nothing wrong with your feeling enthusiasm, but that should not come across in Wikipedia writing: nobody should be able to tell what opinion, if any, the writer holds on the subject they have written about.
 * It is rarely suitable to copy text from anywhere else, including other web sites. The main reason for that is copyright, but there are other reasons, such as the fact that very often material which appears on other sites is not written from a neutral point of view. In fact on many sites related to subjects such as music writing from a neutral point of view is exactly what is not wanted.
 * You say that you used to think that your personal sandbox was a place where you could draft about articles freely and make corrections to content later. That is mostly true, but posting copyright-infringing content is an exception: that is not permitted on any page. There also tends to be a fairly low level of tolerance to content which looks promotional, because unfortunately experience over the years has shown that promotional-looking content, even in sandboxes, very often indicates that the editor is here to post spam. If that wasn't so in your case, it is very unfortunate that you got caught in collateral damage.
 * My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start.
 * Thank you very much,, for the detailed analysis and advice! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:40, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your advice. Thank you so much for the second thought. Sun Moon Montain (talk) 22:15, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Welcome back, and sorry for the inconvenience. :) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:17, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * you all did your job. I am certainly lesson learned. Sun Moon Montain (talk) 22:25, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
