Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Tnmaydak1! 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. 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.
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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:20, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Orel Hershiser, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Texas Rangers. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:04, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

October 2022

Hello, I'm Muboshgu. Your recent edit to the page Matt Quatraro appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now. The transaction is based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement. If you believe the transaction has been completed, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:25, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Matt Quatraro, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:27, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Matt Quatraro. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:29, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Matt Quatraro. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:32, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's not confirmation. The same sources said the White Sox were hiring Joe Espada, but they changed their minds. I told you to stop and you didn't. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:35, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Someone edited on the Kansas City Royals page that he was the manager and you're not doing anything to them. Tnmaydak1 (talk) 22:38, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They should have added this source, updated four minutes ago to indicate that the team has announced the hiring. You were jumping the gun with the edits, but as it is now confirmed, and the point of blocks is to prevent further bad behavior and not to punish, I'm lifting your block. Please mind the sources in the future. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:58, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see from Carlos Santana (baseball) that you're not learning from this previous encounter. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:13, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm LilianaUwU. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Aaron Judge, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate.
