Wikipedia and copyright

Hello WikiAdd01! Your additions to Draft:All The President's Elephants (Film) 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. The4lines |||| (talk) 15:26, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input. I was reading about Wikipedia copyright last night, prior to receiving your message. I have not created a page before and, as you can see, I am still in the creation phase of this new page/subject, after just recently watching the doco. I have not submitted it for review as yet, since I know that I need to change things. I put in what I have to date as a helpful guideline for me to then put into my own words. I can only do so much at a time. I didn't realise anybody would be looking at this until I submitted it for review. WikiAdd01 (talk) 07:56, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

One question please - Is everything on someone's public website considered to be NOT in the public domain? WikiAdd01 (talk) 08:06, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, most websites are copyrighted. Typically, public domain sources will either be, pre-1929, by the government, or will have a notice telling you so. It's safe to assume that most sources you'll be using are copyrighted. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask. The4lines |||| (talk) 15:38, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies to bother you again. I'm afraid that I couldn't work out how to save what changes I'd just made, prior to exiting Wiki, and hence seem to have lost everything that I - and others - did. Fortunately, I did make a copy of what I had written (still in draft, as yet without references), so I do have that to copy back in... Could you tell me how I save changes, without actually publishing it - so that I can come back and do more, prior to making it public to reviewers?? I appreciate your help.

More... it seems like I actually do need to use my Sandbox page - ie User Page draft - in order to be able to save my draft article, to be able to come back and do more editing to it. If this isn't correct, perhaps you could let me know. Thankyou. WikiAdd01 (talk) 07:58, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All the President's Elephants (Film) moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to All the President's Elephants (Film). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and Too many of the sources are unreliable.. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:17, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thankyou. I have been adding additional sources/info, however did not personally resubmit it after it being put back to draft mode by you. I notice, however, that it doesn't seem to be in draft anymore. For your info. WikiAdd01 (talk) 05:48, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
