Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site this statement (or something similar): "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License".
You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the Teahouse. You can also leave a message on my talk page.
This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Nothanks}} ). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
To use this template, add
{{subst:Nothanks}}
~~~~
to the user's talk page. As a first parameter (optional) add the name of the page with copyright problems:
{{subst:Nothanks|1=Your page here}}
~~~~
Be sure to remember to add your signature ( ~~~~ ) after the template, as the text refers readers to your talk page.
