Hello Wikimanfree, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Hyundai Eon 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 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.
 * 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 without attribution. If you want to copy 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. Those sketches you posted are property of Hyundai, not your own work.

Your recent editing history at Hyundai Eon shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. ''Stop posting pictures that you clearly do not own. The engine and instrument panel pics were taken from Motors Onview. One more attempt at posting such images, and you may be blocked. '' Areaseven (talk) 00:35, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Your addition to Hyundai Eon 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 text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions 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. ''You've already been warned about posting images that are either copyrighted or property of another website without permission. Stop it right now, or you will be blocked again.''

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 days for returning to the same edit war that led to your previous block, and for persistent copyright infringements. Contrary to what you seem to think, taking someone else's work and slightly modifying it using "photoshop" does not somehow void the copyright in the work. If you continue in the same way you are likely to be blocked indefinitely. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:59, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Do you know, I actually thought that you were acting in good faith, but had some strange sort of misunderstanding of copyright law. However, it is now clear that you are lying: you could not possibly have really thought that you took those photographs yourself. I strongly suggest that you change your attitude to editing Wikipedia, because otherwise you are likely to be blocked indefinitely. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:35, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

I don't fully understand your latest unblock request, but it seems to me that you don't understand why you are blocked, so I will try to make it clear for you. There are two reasons for the block.
 * 1) You were edit warring. That simply means that you were repeatedly making the same, or very similar, edits over and over again, when other people were undoing those edits. You can see an example of edit warring in these edits: , where you repeatedly added the image Eonfrontcorner.jpg to an article, and there was more edit warring than just that. If two or more people disagree about an article, it is not helpful for them to each just keep repeating the same edits over and again, so that the most stubborn editor eventually gets their way. It is much better for each person to explain their reasons for what they are doing, and discuss the matter. For that reason, you were given a warning about edit warring, as you can see above. You ignored it, and continued edit warring, so you were blocked. After your block, you carried on edit warring again. Even if there were no other problem with your editing, that would have been enough reason for another, longer block. When the block is over, please don't edit war again, or you will almost certainly be blocked for much longer still.
 * 2) You have been repeatedly adding pictures which you have taken from other web sites. Taking someone else's work and publishing it yourself without their permission is not just against Wikipedia policy, it is also against the law in every country that I know of. It is, unfortunately, true that many people ignore copyright, and think it is all right to copy anything from anywhere on the internet and post it anywhere else on the internet, but the fact that many people break the law does not mean that it is acceptable, and Wikipedia does not accept it. You have said that the pictures are not subject to copyright, you have said that they are your own work, you have said something which is not in clear English, but appears to mean that the pictures are not to be seen anywhere else. However, anyone who looks can see that the pictures appear on other web sites. You have copied those pictures, whether you admit that you have or not, and you have provided no evidence that the owners of the copyright in those pictures have given permission for them to be reused. That is enough reason for a block, and if you continue to do the same thing then you are likely to be blocked not just for a longer period, but indefinitely.

It is unlikely that you will be unblocked unless you can persuade an administrator that you understand both of the reasons for the block, and that you will not carry on doing either of the things that led to the block. I have taken some time and trouble to try to help you understand, so that you can be unblocked. I do hope it will help you. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:04, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:HyundaiEonLights.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:HyundaiEonLights.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. January ( talk ) 17:19, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
