Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Yuand16! Your additions to The Yale Journal of International Law have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) 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. It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Our policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. See . Thank you. —Matrix(!) { user - talk? - uselesscontributions } 18:28, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source. You must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. 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 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 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. Please 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.

Hello, I'm Matrix. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to The Yale Journal of International Law seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Matrix(!) { user - talk? - uselesscontributions } 18:28, 4 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi Matrix,
 * Thanks for reaching out. I am the current editor-in-chief of the Yale Journal of International Law.  I would be grateful if you could let me know which part is not neutral, and I am happy to add sources if requested.  Thanks.
 * Best,

 * Hello, firstly, per the instructions at the conflict of interest policy, you must disclose your conflict of interest - you may wish to do this with User COI. If you are being paid for your contributions, please also declare it with the instructions at WP:COIPAYDISCLOSE.
 * About your actual edit, it contained "peacock" words/phrases such as world's preeminent and phrases commited to publishing cutting-edge ... and thoughtful scholarship. These words make the article sound more like a press release than an encyclopedic article. Furthermore, per the external links guideline, links should never be placed in the main body of an article.
 * You may also note your edit was hidden from public view. This is because a lot of material seems to have been copied from . If you made this material, and you would like for it to be included in the article, please follow the procedure on donating copyrighted materials. You will still have to comply with all other relevant guidelines such as the ones I have pointed out above if you do so. —Matrix(!) { user - talk? - uselesscontributions } 10:45, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
