Wikipedia and copyright

Hello ScribeOfTheWiki! Your additions to Types and Programming Languages 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 § Licensing.

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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 01:21, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I truly had no idea, could you please show me the material in so I do not make these mistakes in the future, thank you, have a great day! ScribeOfTheWiki (talk) 01:25, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I found some of the matching content on Amazon: Amazon says: "This text provides a comprehensive introduction both to type systems in computer science and to the basic theory of programming languages. Each chapter is accompanied by numerous exercises and solutions, as well as a running implementation"

You added "is a computing book on type systems in computer science and the basic theory of programming languages. Each chapter is accompanied by exercises and solutions as well as a running implementation"

Then, a lot of the section of reviews was identical to this — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 03:48, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thank you! I did not realized that they were affected by copyright, and I do now realize that I forgot to quote them, I will not make this mistake from now on ScribeOfTheWiki (talk) 03:54, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Better source request for File:Thinking in java cover.jpg

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

File:Thinking in java cover.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete or generic. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact source (such as the web page, or printed document) where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the direct/bare URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 08:10, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
