Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site the statement: "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike".

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the Help Desk. You can also leave a message on my talk page.

I am looking at your recent contributions to the Glossary of musical terminology and so far everything I have checked you seem to have copied and pasted from other places on the internet. We can't have that. Thanks, Antandrus (talk) 21:12, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Sorry I reverted your ballads where the topic is terminology. There must be better articles where the info could go. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:21, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
