Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Benzekre! Your additions to Joe Giglio have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a 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 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 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.

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.

Hello. There is no copyrighted content since the previously published content can be found on lexpractis.com which is the legal website of Joe Giglio. I uploaded the content with the permission of Joe Giglio himself. I am therefore restoring the page as it was before. Benzekre (talk) 19:02, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

It's still a copyright violation even if Joe Giglio gave you permission. Unless we're given explicit permission to use said content, we are not allowed to use it. Please do not restore the content. The4lines |||| ^{(Talk) (Contributions)} 19:25, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Okay. So what can we do to give you the explicit permission to use the said content? Benzekre (talk) 19:36, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials#Granting us permission to copy material already online. Beware that even with the permission, the content will not be suitable for Wikipedia in it's current form due to our policies on proper weighting of content and advertising. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 19:48, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Your edit to Joe Giglio has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. I just warned you. Do NOT copy and paste from the article. Even if it wasn't copyrighted, in its current form, it's not suitable for Wikipedia.

Hello again. I have seen that you have once again removed my editing. Please note that on this occasion, I did not mention the legal company of Joe Giglio. Furthermore, the content is much smaller as I did not copy & paste material from it. Everything is now written in different wording. From my perspective, there has been no direct or indirect advertising or copy/pasting from copyrighted material. I therefore ask you to reconsider. Thank you.

@The4lines Kind reminder Benzekre (talk) 11:49, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping. Although you did start to rewriting some parts, most of it was still either a copy and paste from the website or a close paraphrase. I would show you the difference between the text you added and the source, but it has been deleted and I can no longer view it. You must write everything in your OWN words, you did not. Please, if you want to add to the article, please make sure that you don't take anything from the source. The4lines |||| ^{(Talk) (Contributions)} 15:07, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

@The4lines I have now re-written the part which was deleted. I hope it is now ok, as it took some effort to write it in my own words. Benzekre (talk) 08:00, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Devon (actress). Thank you. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 19:18, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
