Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Copyright issues

I see that you've made some additional edits, which are copies of material from this page.

Look for copyright notice on that page and did not find one. I glanced around the site a bit to see if there was any information on usage of material from the site. I did not find it.

Our presumption is that material is subject to for copyright unless it is specifically licensed as free for reuse, or we otherwise know that it is public domain (E. G. Some material created by federal government employees.) It is my experience that some people are aware that US federal government created content is public domain and incorrectly and for that material created by state governments has the same status. While I think there are some states that freely licensed the content not all do, so we need to find more explicit notification that this material is public domain before can be used.--S Philbrick(Talk) 21:26, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Your addition to Arizona Department of Public Safety has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 08:54, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, can you please tell me which information is being removed? I have been trying to get this page in proper order since August; I am an employee and using facts from our Department website to use on Wikipedia. Jjamesdps (talk) 19:58, 27 November 2018 (UTC)jjamesdps username

Hi Jjamesdps. The material you added to Arizona Department of Public Safety has been removed as you cannot add copyrighted content to Wikipedia unless it is under a suitable license. Please do not copy material from a copyrighted source to Wikipedia. Additionally, as you are an employee of the Arizona Department of Public Safety, you should not edit the page directly due to your conflict of interest, and I have placed some guidance about this below.

Hello, Jjamesdps. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Arizona Department of Public Safety, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 19:30, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm I dream of horses. I noticed that in this edit to Arizona Department of Public Safety, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. I dream of horses (Contribs) Please notify me after replying off my talk page. Thank you. 22:51, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
