[[File:Control copyright icon.svg|30px|link=|alt=Control copyright icon]] Hello Dehawki1, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to [[:Miss America's Outstanding teen 2011]] have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|permission]] from the copyright holder. 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 here. |

*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 mark]]s (") and cite the source using an [[WP:IC|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 [[derivative work|copyright problems]], so it is not permitted here; see [[Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing]]. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, [http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/619/01/ hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue].) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] the information and to demonstrate that the content is not [[Wikipedia:No original research|original research]]. |

Hello! Voting in the '''[[WP:ACE2022|2022 Arbitration Committee elections]]''' is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on {{#time:l, j F Y|{{Arbitration Committee candidate/data|2022|end}}-1 day}}.

*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 the [[public domain]] (PD) or under a [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright#Can I add something to Wikipedia that I got from somewhere else?|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]]. |
|||
*In ''very rare cases'' (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it ''may'' be possible to include greater portions of a source text. ''However'', please seek help at [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions]], the [[Wikipedia:Help desk|help desk]] or the [[Wikipedia:Teahouse|Teahouse]] before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources ''may not'' be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you ''do'' confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see [[Wikipedia:Plagiarism]] for the steps you need to follow. |
|||
*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 in [[Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate]]. See also [[Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia]]. |

[[User:Diannaa|Diannaa]] Okay, so if I edit the source you delete, and put it in my own words, and then put quotation marks. Can i put it back on there. If I can't, it's not a big deal THX [[User:Dehawki1|Dehawki1]] ([[User talk:Dehawki1#top|talk]]) 15:09, 10 December 2017 (UTC) |

:Content has to be written in your own words and not include any wording from the source material. One thing I find that works for me is to read over the source material and then pretend I am verbally describing the topic to a friend in my own words. Stuff should also be presented in a different order where possible. Summarize rather than paraphrase. This will typically result in your version being much shorter than the source document. There's some reading material on this topic at [[:Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing]] and/or have a look at the material at [https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/619/01/ Purdue] or study [https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/training/students/plagiarism this module aimed at WikiEd students]. I suggest you write a short paragraph of about 100 words. You need to cite your sources.{{pb}}I noticed you uploaded an image, [[:File:Miss America's Outstanding Teen Lacey Russ.jpg]]. Under current copyright law, literary works and photos are subject to copyright whether they are tagged as such or not. No registration is required, and no copyright notice is required. So please always assume that all material you find online is copyright. Since we don't accept non-free images of living people for fair use, I have to delete the image.
