Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Zertyz81, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Xian Jun Loh have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of 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 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. (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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:38, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

April 2017
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted.

Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:09, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Please do not rewrite unblock requests after they have been declined, as you did with the one above (which I have now reverted). Just leave your new request, below, to be reviewed. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:32, 30 April 2017 (UTC)


 * No, you need to explain what *you* understand about copyright and about the relevant Wikipedia policy, making it clear that you understand what the problem was and convincing a reviewer that you will not create any further copyright problems. We don't need you to just tell us it's been fixed. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:43, 29 April 2017 (UTC) ( I see you have done that now. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:32, 30 April 2017 (UTC) )
 * Do you agree with unblocking?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  20:44, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * So one is not to "copy directly from published sources" even with citation. Putting quotes around a disney movie does not make sharing it under an "open license" okay. We allow almost no fair use. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 00:43, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
 * If it is ok, I will write original content and will not copy. Citations will be provided. Zertyz81  (talk) 
 * Also long as the user agrees to disclose any COIs and not to copy and paste from sources again yes I am happy to see them return to editing. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 02:41, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
