Revision as of 01:55, 28 July 2022
Hello Uw-copyright-new! 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.
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]

- {{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.
