User talk:The dead may never die

December 2017
Hello, I'm Let There Be Sunshine. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Aadu 2, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Your addition to Priya Prakash Varrier has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Sitush (talk) 11:58, 13 February 2018 (UTC)


 * You have just reinstated the same image after I removed it! If you do not understand copyright, please do not add images. It was published elsewhere before today and you are pretending that it was not. - Sitush (talk) 12:03, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Eg: it was here yesterday. - Sitush (talk) 12:04, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked for 24 hours for deliberately violating WP:COPYRIGHT after being previously warned about this. This is not acceptable, you are placing Wikipedia in legal jeopardy with your actions. If you are caught doing so again once your block expires, your next block may be indefinite. --Yamla (talk) 12:13, 13 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Straight off your block and you appear to have added another copyrighted image. Look, the chances of you finding a free-use image of Varrier are minimal at this stage in her career, unless you took the photo yourself. Do NOT copy them from websites. . - Sitush (talk) 14:10, 14 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Yeap. I have reblocked this user indefinitely. If we can't trust this user to abide by WP:COPYRIGHT, we can't risk allowing them to edit. --Yamla (talk) 14:12, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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:.


 * it turns out that it was uploaded to Commons by another account. Still, the onus is on the person who adds something to an article to take reasonable care that it is ok to do so. - Sitush (talk) 14:25, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * It is indeed their responsibility. This was an obvious copyright violation. If this user shows they understand WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:FAIRUSE and understand why their edits were inappropriate, and if we are convinced they won't violate these policies in the future, any admin can unblock them. --Yamla (talk) 14:26, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
