User talk:Sunfranson

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Fiddle  Faddle  16:05, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Sunfranson, and welcome to Wikipedia. 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 or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate 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. Fiddle  Faddle  16:04, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

With regard to your statement that you are the copyright owner
I am sure you will understand that we have no idea who you are, nor whether your statement is made by the copyright owner or not. We protect copyright owners' rights very seriously, as you can see.

You have all the information you need, above, to determine how to donate copyright material. But you need to be aware that material form elsewhere is by no means always suitable for Wikipedia. Our style here is not promotional, and we disallow any form of commercial promotion. To gain a place here we require the material, any material, to be well referenced.

We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make any draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.

If you are thinking of using Wikipedia to build a reputation please think again. That will not happen. Fiddle  Faddle  16:47, 31 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Even if you own the copyright of the book I doubt you own the copyright at http://www.ereaderiq.com/dp/B016VST0T6/tedium-troopers-phantasmagoria/ the page you copied and pasted here (0.95 probability). You need to use great care. Copyright infringement is the fastest way to lose editing privileges here. Fiddle   Faddle  16:49, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Sunfranson/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:Sunfranson/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from https://www.scribd.com/book/285150147/Tedium-Troopers-Phantasmagoria. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Enough is enough
You may not copy and paste copyright material here. Even if you think you can you cannot. Since you seem unwilling to understand this I have asked our admin team to take a look and see how they might best advise you. This often takes the form of a warning shot. You must respect the laws of copyright. Fiddle  Faddle  11:20, 2 November 2015 (UTC)


 * As a Wikipedia administrator, I confirm what Fiddle Faddle says. Asserting that you own the copyright or have permission is not enough. Wikipedia cannot accept copyright text without a formal copyright release made by the actual copyright holder. If you post copyright material again, you will be blocked from editing.


 * There would be no point making a copyright release for that material, because it was in any case too promotional in tone to be acceptable. Wikipedia is not for advertising, or for posting copies of publishers' blurbs.


 * Wikipedia is also selective about subjects for articles. The notability standard for books is explained at WP:Notability (books). An article is unlikely to be acceptable until a book has been published (by a mainstream publisher, not self-published) and received reviews in reliable sources.


 * Finally, if you are the author, you have a Conflict of interest and should not be trying to promote your book here.
