Welcome!

Hello, Bravetubby, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as File:Cars poster.jpg, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Cars poster.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Cars poster.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused duplicate or lower-quality copy of another file on Wikipedia having the same file format, and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

September 2021

Hello, I'm Betty Logan. I noticed that you recently removed content from Paddington (film) without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Non-free images

Please stop uploading high-resolution copyrighted content. A non-free image should be at a resolution no higher than the display resolution in the articles it is used. WP:IMAGERES recommends a limit of 0.1 MP, whereas the image you uploaded at File:PaddingtonPOSTER.jpg was 3.3 MP. By uploading un-free images at resolutions far higher than required you are committing copyright infringement, and putting both yourself and Wikipedia at risk of legal action. I appreciate that being a new editor you perhaps do not know the rules, but now you do. Betty Logan (talk) 15:32, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Bravetubby! Your additions to File:PaddingtonPOSTER.jpg 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 Wikipedia: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.

• 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. 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 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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Betty Logan (talk) 18:49, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Betty Logan (talk) 04:25, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

If the above seems like a lot, here's a quick capsule version of how it applies to your recent edits.

• Posters and cover art come under copyright law.
• Wikipedia respects copyright, for a lot of good reasons.
• We probably can use a low-resolution image of a poster or some cover art but usually only in one particular article such as the article about that particular video game.
• High resolution images are usually deleted completely as breaches of copyright, not just from articles but from the library of available images too.
• People who persist in uploading high-resolution images have to stop, willingly or not.

I've missed out a lot. It's all a bit of a minefield and the safe thing to do is to follow the advice of people who understand all the problems and conditions. But please take this seriously. Wikipedia does. NebY (talk) 12:11, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:

I don't know where you got the idea that my account. is a sockpuppet because I doubt there isn't anyone else with my username. But if you're blocking me because of the paddington situation and if that's "violating Wikipedia's policy", then I'm sorry. I just wanted to share what I believe was the better poster. Plus, change is good (if done in am appropriate way

Decline reason:

 Confirmed sockpuppet. Yamla (talk) 10:29, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Continuing to lie about your violations of WP:SOCK makes it ever more increasingly unlikely you'll ever be unblocked on your original account. --Yamla (talk) 10:31, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
