  Hello Smitha.piccosoft, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Digital economy 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • 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 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.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • 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 in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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. GermanJoe (talk) 13:06, 5 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

A few tips

edit

Hello Smitha.piccosoft, thank you for your interest in contributing to Wikipedia. But unfortunately there have been a few problems with your recent edits. First of all, please do not copypaste or closely paraphrase content from other websites, books, etc. (see above). All content must be phrased in your own words (except brief, clearly attributed quotations in quote marks). Secondly, please make sure to read WP:RS about Wikipedia's criteria for reliable sources. Blogs and promotional, commercial websites usually do not meet these criteria. With a few exceptions, edits should be generally based on independent, non-promotional expert sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. When you provide a book as source, please always add specific page number(s) to verify the added information more easily.

Please feel free to ask anytime on my user talkpage, if you have any further questions. You are also welcome to post for advice at WP:Teahouse, a forum for new editors. Volunteers there will be glad to help. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 13:18, 5 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Teahouse, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button   located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 05:22, 7 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Smitha.piccosoft

edit
 

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Smitha.piccosoft, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:

  • Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
  • Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Thanks for email. The procedure for requesting a username change and unblock is given above, basically you copy {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} as you see it here, complete and save. You appear to have done that here and then removed the request. As well as a new username, you need to say why you should be unblocked. That should include saying what topics you would like to write about, since it's unlikely you will be unblocked to write about your company or its products Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:42, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

 
This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

Request reason:

I was blocked earlier because I was unaware of the policies then. Over the years, I have researched on all the writing and contribution guidelines and policies of Wikipedia. I shall now strictly adhere to the same. I would like to be part of wikipedia contributor community. And, I look forward to being one. Also, for your kind information, I shall write about the topics of Open Source Web Applications.

Decline reason:

That would be okay as a new username, but editing about open source applications(especially your company's) falls squarely within your conflict of interest and paid editing status(since you are an employee). You won't be unblocked to edit about that topic area. 331dot (talk) 08:44, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please place new edits at the bottom; this may be easier to do if you click "edit" at the top or in the section header, instead of "reply". 331dot (talk) 08:39, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

 
This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request.

Requested username:

Request reason:

My intentions are solely to provide information about an Open Source Application and not to promote, Can I edit the page on Open Source Applications with paid editing status? Please let me know how it would work. Thank you!

Decline reason:

Again, new unblock requests go at the bottom of the page, not in the middle. This unblock request adds nothing to your previously declined request. Yamla (talk) 10:11, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
I regret that I added in the middle. But How can I get unblocked. Please throw ligh on the paid edit policy. Smitha.piccosoft (talk) 10:14, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Please read and thoroughly understand WP:GAB, WP:COI, WP:PAID, and WP:PROMO. --Yamla (talk) 11:20, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
