Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Semmy1960! Your additions toUnilever Nigeria Plchave been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in thepublic domainor has been released by its owner or legal agent under asuitably-free and compatiblecopyright license. (To request such a release, seeWikipedia: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 avoidcopyrightandplagiarismissues.

• You can only copy/translate asmallamount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with doublequotation marks( ") and cite the source using aninline citation.You can read about this atWikipedia:Non-free contentin the sections on "text". See alsoHelp:Referencing for beginners,for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all informationin your own words and structure,in properparaphrase.Following the source's words too closely can createcopyright problems,so it is not permitted here; seeWikipedia:Close paraphrasing.Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources toverifythe information and to demonstrate that the content is notoriginal research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images.Fair useimages must meet all ten of thenon-free content criteriain 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.
• Ifyouown the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, youmaybe 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 thepublic domain(PD) or under asuitably-free and compatiblecopyright 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. SeeWikipedia: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 atWikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.See alsoHelp:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must beblockedfrom editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Diannaa(talk)19:56, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Your edit toWest African Journalists Associationhas been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have addedcopyrightedmaterial to Wikipedia without evidence ofpermissionfrom the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please readWikipedia:Donating copyrighted materialsfor more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. 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 ofinformation,but not as a source ofcontent,such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policywill beblocked from editing.SeeWikipedia:Copying text from other sourcesfor more information.Two paragraphs had a lot of copy paste from a website that was CC-BY-NC (non-commercial use license). Wikipedia can't accept that kind of text. A good rule of thumb is, never copy paste, always heavily paraphrase.–Novem Linguae(talk)08:54, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing todisambiguation pages.Such links areusually incorrect,since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles.(Read theFAQ• Join us at theDPL WikiProject.)

Florence Seriki

added a link pointing toAfrican

Slobodan Šaranović

added a link pointing toInvestigator

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow theseopt-out instructions.Thanks,DPL bot(talk)05:58, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the information. I will check it and make necessary corrections.Semmy1960(talk)07:31, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages

Please note that disambiguation pages likeCertificateare meant to help readers find a specificexistingarticle quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From theWikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'tsyou should:

• Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
• Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
• Use exactly one navigable link ( "blue link" ) in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
• Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
• Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
• Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

Also, perMOS:NOSECTIONLINKS,section headings should not contain wikilinks.

Enjoy editing!Leschnei(talk)12:46, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Your additions of internal links

Hi Semmy1960. I've recently had to fix several inappropriate links that you've added - I assume you're using some kind of tool to find them. Please ensure that before you add a link you check that it is actually relevant to the matter being discussed in the article - you've added links to Georgia (state) rather than George (country) and sometimes articles that have no connection at all to the word being linked (likethis). You're also sometimes adding too many links - we don't need to link every word that we can find an article for, and we usually only link a particular article once. It's great that you're trying to improve the encyclopaedia, but I've had to go through every single page you've edited to look for and fix errors, and that is creating work for other users. Please, take a second to check that what you're adding is helpful first. Thank you!ninety:one13:46, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. Pages were suggested by boot that the links added to those pages were not enough.The pages were orphans. I will take my time to check them over again. Thanks for your observation. I am new here and I enjoy contributing to Wiki.Semmy1960(talk)13:58, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

We hadWikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1095#Gombe editorsabout your edits and the edits of the people in your groups, we have above multiple articles being moved to draft space, and looking at your contributions, your most recent one isthisone removing the Category:Living people from a BLP, but instead adding a redlinked category.Fram(talk)08:28, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
