Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Stockbroker369! Your additions to Albatross Island, St. Brandon 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. You must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. 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 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 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. Please 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. Our policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:57, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Your edit to Mauritian Wildlife Foundation has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder.

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.

Deletion discussion about Domaine Ylang Ylang

Hello Stockbroker369, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Domaine Ylang Ylang, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Domaine Ylang Ylang.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Cabrils}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

@Cabrils:

The reason it's a stub is to give people the chance to contribute a lot more info. In Mauritius, it is not on the web a lot but in books, which have to be researched and are not available on the internet. (A good example is France Staub who is only on Wikipedia because people quote his books and he is as notable as it gets from a conservation point of view. (Birds of the Mascarenes and Saint Brandon)). So an outsider would have no way of knowing Mauritius notability 'a la USA' or under European culture. Talking notability, this is a Domaine and has historical roots which I will research over a period. So don't jump the gun whilst the building is going slowly up. I was going to say 'thank you' but I am doing this for a passion to write about Mauritius for the outside world in my own precious time with failing eyes so it is not in order. ¬¬¬ Stockbroker369 (talk) 06:39, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

You are welcome to comment on the discussion at the appropriate page. Feel free to move the page to Draft space which will "give people the chance to contribute a lot more info". Wikipedia policies are not " 'a la USA' or under European culture" but have been developed by an open community. I am from neither the USA or Europe. Contrary to your assertion, you " jump[ed] the gun" by publishing a page that does not meet the criteria. If the page is still being developed then it belongs in the draft space. I too contribute "in my own precious time", as does practically every editor. Given you seem to have little experience you might find the following helpful:

Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’.

You're welcome. Cabrils (talk) 07:05, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi, You should not be taking this personally. I was talking of the culture of Europe and USA, not of your or indeed mine. Wikipedia has these cultures as this was where it came from. and that is not a criticism. Anyway, have a nice day and try to encourage growth and hope rather than destroying and creating despair, especially when an unknown culture is in front of you. Thank you and God Bless.

Cabrils, may God Bless you.
