Copyright violation in Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Straighterline

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the page Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Straighterline, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition was deleted under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License." You may also e-mail or mail the Foundation to release the content. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more.

While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright concerns very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 00:20, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Responding from the message you left on my talk page (and I know it's been a while; I've been near inactive for a time) you can go ahead and make the article again in the same way, as an articles for creation submission, and yes, citing entirely independent third party sources is crucial, but I hope you understand the templated message I left above. We cite sources to show where we got information—to show the subject is notable and the information verifiable—but you must write in your own words (you can use limited quotations, of course, but they must be in quotation marks and be immediately followed by an inline citation). Be careful of close paraphrasing as well. Because you used text that was directly copied and pasted, the article needed to be deleted, but if you repost without this problem included, I will gladly look over the resubmission. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 04:07, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Copyright violation in Burck Smith

Hi again. I'm not sure why we are miscommunicating but we apparently are. I looked at the resubmission and it was again a patent copyright violation. I'm not sure how to say it more clearly. You cannot copy and paste copyrighted text. You can use relatively short quotes of copyrighted text, placed in quotation marks thus showing it is someone else's words, followed by an inline citation but that's about the limit of use of copyrighted text. The resubmission was full of directly copied and pasted text, and the material was not placed in quotation marks. To be absolutely clear, even if this copied material was placed in quotation marks, this would have been far too much copyrighted text to meet fair use, so please don't resubmit with the same type of text with just quotation marks added. Again, you must write in your own words, citing sources to to show the subject is notable and that the information is verifiable. There were other problems with the text, e.g., that it was not written in the neutral tone required of an encyclopedia and read as promotional, but that might have been solved. Copyright violations that persist through every revision, though, simply mandate deletion.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 22:18, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
