Wikipedia and copyright edit

  Hello Arismauve! 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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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. Please see Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Knitsey (talk) 14:36, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

I Forgive You (Sia song) moved to draftspace edit

Thanks for your contributions to I Forgive You (Sia song). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources and it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Boleyn (talk) 22:14, 14 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

so if i have more information about "I Forgive You", just click "Submit your draft for review!"? I'm first at wikipedia, and also im korean so i can't understand everything well. i'm sorry Arismauve (talk) 22:45, 14 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
can i use source of this link?
https://sia.fandom.com/wiki/I_Forgive_You
https://genius.com/Sia-i-forgive-you-lyrics
but in many wikipedia pages, there are no sources abt the Producers like them. but should I put sources on there? Arismauve (talk) 22:47, 14 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sources edit

Just for the future, both Fandom wikis and Genius (apart from interviews) are not considered reliable sources, since they are user-generated like Wikipedia. For commonly used sources, check this page, but for the sake of editing, I would start by sourcing newspapers and other music publications instead. Happy editing!

Orphaned non-free image File:Colour the Small One cover.jpeg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Colour the Small One cover.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:06, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
