Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Xena&#38;gabrielle! While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * 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 cite the source using an inline citation. 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. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

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. PRAXIDICAE🌈 16:21, 13 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi, It's late & I'm going to bed as I have medical tests tomorrow but quickly. I am a lawyer and have worked in this area for 30 years and most of what I wrote there were my actual own words & my own paraphrase from my own knowledge, given for the last 15 yrs I've been helping get justice on some of these cases - successfully. I rattle this stuff off all the time. I am very happy to give my information away free as I believe it is essential for historical accuracy.
 * Did it sound too formal? I am thorough in getting this info correct, as it is complex & people too often misquote the facts. So perhaps it seems like I have taken it from somewhere else. I haven't. I can just sit & write it all easily as it's my information & expertise. If it's not mine, I quoted it. I have recently given a huge amount of evidence to Parliamentary Inquiries & now to a Judicial Commission.
 * 95% (maybe more) of what I wrote is straight from my head, my own research, my own knowledge, my own experience of a lifetime's work. except where I quoted something and then I used quotations then. Did I incorrectly use "link" instead of "cite"? Is that what was actually wrong? I did actually paraphrase everything. I didn't even cut & paste from any of my previous documents. That takes me too long & I"m not well.
 * I have a spinal cord injury & am a partial quadriplegic with many daily challenges so can't sit for too long as too much pain. I work in bursts. And really dislike inaccuracy in this area, hence decided to take approx 20 hrs so people could actually have a reference point of accurate information for posterity.
 * This is my area of expertise since 1990. Maybe people don't often give away their experience & knowledge so readily and thus you think I have used other's information.
 * It is my info & my expertise and it is all from my knowledge, not someone else's that I should be paraphrasing. I am paraphrasing myself.
 * Am I missing something here??
 * I didn't copy or translate anything from any other Wikipedia project. Did I wrongly link to people's names when I used their name & that made you think I took something.
 * I am the Sue Thompson who I just wrote a lot about, it's my years of work. WHat do you need me to do please so that you might very kindly put that back up so that there is an easy to access, yes irrevocably given freely, "free content" source document for this area.
 * We are currently in our 15th year of full on battle on these issues. I've had to come out of medical retirement with my serious injuries to try to help at great personal cost.
 * Again - WHat do you need me to do please so that you might very kindly put that back up so that there is an easy to access, yes irrevocably given freely, "free content" source document for this area?
 * Thank you Xena&#38;gabrielle (talk) 16:55, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * And please know that what you have up now on Wikipedia in this article is full of inaccuracies. That is why I took the time to fix it with accurate information that I know. Xena&#38;gabrielle (talk) 17:02, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, have you seen my reply about the article on Gay Gang Murders. You asked me to reply on your Talk page. Does replying here work, I cannot see how to reply on your talk page? Xena&#38;gabrielle (talk) 00:48, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
