[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, I'm [[User:Waxworker|Waxworker]]. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]]. Your recent edit to [[:Sharkdog]] seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:Waxworker|my talk page]]. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-npov1 --> [[User:Waxworker|Waxworker]] ([[User talk:Waxworker|talk]]) 15:35, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

== Wikipedia and copyright ==
[[File:Control copyright icon.svg|30px|link=|alt=Control copyright icon]] Hello 75.82.160.163! Your additions to [[:Flight Risk (film)]] have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyrighted]] content without evidence that the source material is in the [[Wikipedia:Public domain|public domain]] or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a [[WP:COMPLIC|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 [[Wikipedia:Quotations|direct quotations]] must be enclosed in double [[quotation mark]]s (") and properly cited using an [[Wikipedia:Inline citation|inline citation]]. More information is available on the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Acceptable use of text|non-free content page]]. To learn how to cite a source, see [[Help:Referencing for beginners]]. {{#ifeq: | 1 |</strong>}}
*'''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 [[derivative work|copyright issues]] and is not permitted; see [[Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing]]. Even when paraphrasing, you must still [[Help:Referencing for beginners|cite your sources]] as appropriate.
*'''Image use guidelines:''' In most scenarios, only [[c:Commons:Licensing|freely licensed]] or [[Wikipedia:Public domain|public domain]] images may be used and these should be uploaded to our [[c:Commons:First steps|sister project, Wikimedia Commons]]. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|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|Help:Translation § License requirements]].
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|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. <!-- Template:uw-copyright-new --> <span style="solid;background:#a3b18a; border-radius: 4px; -moz-border-radius: 4px; font-family: Papyrus">'''[[User:MikeAllen|<span style="color: #606c38">Mike</span>]] [[User talk:MikeAllen|<span style="color:#606c38">Allen</span>]]'''</span> 13:51, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
