Wikipedia and copyright

Hello RBFolkArt! Your additions to Draft:Cornelio Campos 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, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 03:07, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi @DanCherek I saw this when I reviewed the draft but I didn't think it was a copyright violation per NC Gov's Terms of Use which states "Unless otherwise noted on an individual document, the state of North Carolina grants permission to copy and distribute non-image files, documents, and information for non-commercial use, provided they are copied and distributed without alteration." They do restrict use of images though. Is this really a copyright violation? S0091 (talk) 15:26, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

The prohibition on commercial reuse makes it an incompatible license, per WP:COMPLIC. The prohibition on alteration is problematic as well, since they're restricting the creation of derivative works. Based on RBFolkArt's second edit, it might be possible that the NC Arts Council wants to release this text under a compatibly free license, but we'd need verification of that. DanCherek (talk) 15:40, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Ah, ok. That makes sense. Thanks @DanCherek. S0091 (talk) 15:59, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Paid disclosure

Hi RBFolkArt, given you are an intern, even if not paid, you do need to make a paid editing disclosure per Wikipedia's Terms of Use and the Paid editing policy. You can do so by placing {{paid|employer=North Carolina Arts Council}} on your User page (include the curly brackets).

As for the draft, please see Your first article along with the notability guidelines for artists. Generally, notability is met by critical reviews of an artist's work by reputable publications or other in-depth coverage by multiple sources. I will also leave some additional information about editing Wikipedia. No worries about the mishaps. You are a new editor and we see all the time. S0091 (talk) 16:26, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Actually I took the liberty to add some sources. You should have access to most of them which you can use to expand the draft but just be sure to use your own words. Campos is certainly notable. S0091 (talk) 17:12, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much. I'm interning with North Carolina Arts Council and they have tasked me with creating a page for each North Carolina Heritage Award Recipient. I am new to do this so any feedback and help is greatly appreciated. RBFolkArt (talk) 18:51, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Rhonda Gouge

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Rhonda Gouge requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.ncarts.org/blog/2022/10/17/2023-north-carolina-heritage-award-recipients. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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. C F A 💬 20:36, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

As noted above, unless the text has been donated, Wikipedia cannot accept text under a non-commercial license. C F A 💬 20:39, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

I have fixed the page and would like to submit the draft. RBFolkArt (talk) 16:04, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Looks good. I've submitted the draft for you. C F A 💬 16:09, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
