Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Nonnahs SMS, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Draft:Moses Sanchez have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing 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 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
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 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 help desk or the 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.

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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:09, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Moses Sanchez

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Moses Sanchez requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://web.archive.org/web/20170710183124/http://www.mosessanchez.com/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:11, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft does not satisfy biographical notability or political notability. It reads like a campaign brochure

This draft would normally be moved to Draft:Moses Sanchez, but that title has been protected from creation.

I recommend against resubmitting this draft. If you want to resubmit this draft, check with the deleting administrator, and they will explain why it is protected from creation.

June 2018

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Longhair\^talk 23:41, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Name Change and Unblock

{{unblock-spamun|Gungy|Will not be using the company name for edits and plan on contributing whenever we spot a potential error}}
Nonnahs SMS (talk) 23:31, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

GungyRedBrick (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Requested username:

GungyRedBrick (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

We originally used the company name and that was a mistake. We still want to contribute and edit when we see potential errors without promoting or advertising per community rules.

Decline reason:

The proposed new username is acceptable. However, the other elements of the block still need to be addressed. You will not be unblocked until:

you confirm that this account is accessed and used by one individual only
you agree to avoid creating or directly editing articles related to your organisation (requested edits will still be permitted)
you agree to abide by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use and disclose your paid relationship in accordance with the paid contributor policy
you indicate what areas of Wikipedia you intend to edit in the future

If you have no interest in editing Wikipedia beyond writing about your organisation, then you will not be unblocked. If this is the case, I recommend you consider alternative outlets. Yunshui ^雲 _水 08:59, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Which username (Gungy or GungyRedBrick) do you wish to be renamed to? --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 23:50, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it probably won't be Gungy, as that's already taken. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 23:51, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking at GungyRedBrick as that's not already taken Nonnahs SMS (talk) 00:05, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have globally renamed User:Nonnahs SMS to User:GungyRedBrick, and someone else will review your unblock request. As it stands, the "We" stuff in it means the current request is unlikely to be successful as joint/company/group accounts are not allowed. I suggest you explain what you mean by "we" and explain how many people you think will be using this account. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:30, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I confirm that this account is accessed and used by one individual only - I kept stating we because there are multiple employees in our company but I am the only one that's attempted edits on wikipedia. There will only be one person using this account. I agree to avoid creating or directly editing articles related to your organization (requested edits will still be permitted) I agree to abide by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use and disclose your paid relationship in accordance with the paid contributor policy I intend to edit in the future articles that I see with inaccurate or outdated information.

Hi. You need to make a new unblock request saying all that, or it will not be listed in the unblock requests list and reviewers will not be made aware of it. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:50, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was waiting for Longhair to comment, but I did not realize they took a wikibreak. I will go ahead an unblock given your agreement above. If you have any questions, please ask. 331dot (talk) 07:45, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

GungyRedBrick (talk) 13:49, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any certain articles or topic areas you are interested in editing? 331dot (talk) 20:28, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My expertise is in education and local politics. There are times when I see something that needs to be edit such as more recent web pages for some of the schools and school districts in our community that have a Wikipedia page. That's probably where I see more of the edits necessary. I use wiki-like most folks and want it to be as accurate as possible. 184.103.34.164 (talk) 15:29, 18 July 2018 (UTC) I forgot to log in but that's my response up above. GungyRedBrick (talk) 15:31, 18 July 2018 (UTC) For example The current Superintendent of the Tempe Union High School District is NOT Kenneth Baca, it's Kevin Mendevil. That's an easy edit with a source but that's what's listed in Wikipedia under Tempe Union High School District. GungyRedBrick (talk) 15:35, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Resubmission is not necessary, you still have an open request. 331dot (talk) 16:31, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Longhair do you have any concerns that have not yet been addressed? 331dot (talk) 16:32, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Having been following this, I'd support an unblock now. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:30, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What am I supposed to do now? GungyRedBrick (talk) 05:31, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just get back to editing ;-) Welcome back. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:50, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

August 2018

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Phoenix mayoral election, 2018 while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:39, 12 August 2018 (UTC) it was not my intention. It wasn't letting me log in for some strange reason so I just added the edit. I'll make sure to stay logged in from now on. GungyRedBrick (talk) 22:35, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
