[[File:Control copyright icon.svg|30px|alt=Control copyright icon]] Hello ~2025-32189-45! 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 [[Wikipedia:Quotations|direct quotations]] must be enclosed in double [[quotation mark]]s (“) and properly cited using an [[Wikipedia:Inline citation|inline citation]]. More information is available on the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Acceptable use of text|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 [[derivative work|copyright issues]] and is not permitted; see [[Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing]]. Even when paraphrasing, you must still [[Help:Referencing for beginners|cite your sources]] as appropriate.
*”’Image use guidelines:”’ In most scenarios, only [[c:Commons:Licensing|freely licensed]] or [[Wikipedia:Public domain|public domain]] images may be used and these should be uploaded to our [[c:Commons:First steps|sister project, Wikimedia Commons]]. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|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 {{section link|Help:Translation|Licensing}}.
It’s very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|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.
