User talk:81.153.118.84

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

Create new pages and rename pages
Edit semi-protected pages
Upload images
Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a certain number of days and made a certain number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (81.153.118.84) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Happy editing! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:45, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to Wapley Hill has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. D4iNa4 (talk) 17:45, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are wrong. The Wapley Hill image is freely available on Wikipedia Commons. You should check your facts before making wild accusations. I am restoring the image.81.153.118.84 (talk) 20:44, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Which "image"? You are copy-pasting content from a website,[1] in violation of WP:COPYVIO. Don't do this again or you will find yourself blocked. D4iNa4 (talk) 18:12, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The text I used from Historic England has been edited and changed. and is in any case subject to fair use. I also added much info of my own from direct experience. I am thus reverting your blatant vandalism.81.153.118.84 (talk) 19:33, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa: can you have a look at this? The IP has clearly no understanding of copyrights and is still edit warring to restore copyvio. D4iNa4 (talk) 10:48, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has a very strict copyright policy, stricter in some ways than copyright law itself, because our fair use policy does not allow us to copy material from copyright sources when there's a freely licensed alternative available. In this case the freely licensed material is prose that we write ourselves. You must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. It's true that not all of the removed material was copied from that page, but Wikipedia does not accept content based on your own observations and experience, as that's considered original research. Everything you add to Wikipedia needs to be sourced to reliable sources (books, magazine articles, reputable websites, and so on). — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:23, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
