Hello Aszazin! Your additions to
Godspell 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, 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. Please 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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. —

- Hello Diannaa, Thanks for your remark.
- I tried to put things in my own words, but probably still left too much in it's original wording?
- I'm always eager to learn. If you find the time, can you look into the information, and make a suggestion, or tag which parts should be changed to fall within what's acceptable for wikipedia?
- I'm fairly inexperienced in contributing here, and don't have much time to get deep into things due to my professional life. Some suggestions might allow me to pick up good practice faster.
