Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Thetechchaser, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Referral marketing 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 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. Grayfell (talk) 04:29, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Your addition to Social media marketing has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without 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. bonadea contributions talk 07:31, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 07:32, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Content management system. ''

'''Do not copy and paste text from other websites, verbatim or with only minimal changes. Repeated copyright violations will lead to a block, so please stop, and read the information provided in all the notices above this one. Thank you.' bonadea contributions talk 07:50, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because, despite the messages above, all or virtually all of your editing continues to either post content you have copied from elsewhere, or content phrased in promotional terms, or both. If you understand what has been wrong with your editing, and you are willing to undertake to avoid making the same mistakes again, you may request an unblock by adding the text, replacing the words "Your reason here" with an explanation fo why you think you should be unblocked. That explanation will need to convince a Wikipedia administrator that your editing in future will not repeat the problems there have been in the past. However, before doing so, you should read the guide to appealing blocks. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:43, 12 October 2015 (UTC) (UTC)


 * I am correcting your unblock request, by posting it separately underneath the block notice. Posting your reason inside the the block notice, as you did, does not cause your request to appear on the list of pending unblock requests, so it might never have been seen by an administrator if I hadn't checked back on this page and seen it.
