Hello Uw-copyright-new! 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 direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
- 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 copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
- Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's elegibility.
- 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.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being 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.
A single-issue user warning with the same goal as {{Uw-copyright}}, but with gentler wording for new users, and more advice.
Usage
{{subst:Uw-copyright-new}}
{{subst:Uw-copyright-new|article=ArticleName|comment=Final thoughts.|student=yes/no|bold=N}}
Parameters
There are three positional (unnamed) parameters (with named aliases), and two named parameters. All parameters are optional:
|1=
(alias: article) – after the "welcome" sentence, appends: " Your addition to [[article title]] has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|permission]] from the copyright holder."|2=
(alias: comment) – adds extra free form text of your choice before the final "Thank you."|3=
(alias:student) – after "visit me at my talk page" appends: "or to reach out to your Wiki Ed content expert".
There are two named parameters for altering text style:[a]
|bold=N
, if N is a digit 1..5, the Nth bullet point is bolded.|boldtext=string of text
, the first occurrence of "string of text" in the body is bolded.[b][c]
See also
- {{Uw-copyright}}, a more strongly worded user warning
- {{Welcome-copyright}}, combining a welcome message with a less strongly worded message on copyright

Notes
- ^ Of the two style parameters, only one may be used. If both are used, only
|boldtext=
is applied. - ^ Some character exclusions apply, including curly brackets (
{
, and}
). - ^ In general, avoid trailing blanks in the value of
|boldtext=
. This param defines a match pattern which is interpreted as param|pattern_string=
in String replace, where trailing blanks are significant.
