  Hello Wikieditor2000man! Your additions to Peter M. Fillerup 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. 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.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order 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. 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.
  • 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, 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. — Diannaa (talk) 13:12, 26 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi Diannaa, You incorrectly removed all my additions. Please restore.

I understand why you were confused, however, (1) these words nor the content are not copyrighted nor ever have been. (2) The content came directly from Peter Fillerup to me to be used for his bio and distribution. It did not come from these websites. (3) The website you identified likely also received the same content from Peter. They do not own it nor had permission to claim copyright. Likely, their website editor just placed that on every page without identifying the actual copyright material. They did not publish it on Wikipedia and know it was given to them from Peter, so you have nothing to be concerned about. (4) Some of what I posted does not appear on these websites. (5) Peter published all this content and provided my gallery for our public use and distribution of which it was given out to thousands of people. This was not original nor my work.

The content conforms to all Wikipedia requirements and is not a violation to post.

Thank you, Wikieditor2000man (talk)

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Wikieditor2000man. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Peter M. Fillerup, 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:

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 01:35, 27 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Warning

edit

I saw the comment you posted about restoring content that an administrator has identified and removed as copyvio. Please be advised that if you do that, the material will be removed again, and your account will be blocked from editing without further warning. You can argue that it is not copyvio, and you can ask for it to be reinstated on those grounds, but do not reinstate it yourself. I hope that's clear.
