  Hello Worldmusicnerd! Your additions to Sore (band) 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. — Diannaa (talk) 11:49, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Concern regarding Draft:Ammara Brown

edit

  Hello, Worldmusicnerd. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Ammara Brown, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 00:06, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:Ammara Brown

edit
 

Hello, Worldmusicnerd. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Ammara Brown".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 23:29, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

200worldalbums.com

edit

Hi Worldmusicnerd. First off, it's great to have you editing Wikipedia, especially in the topic of world music, which has many gaps.

I wanted to let you know that in my opinion, www.200worldalbums.com is not a WP:Reliable source. It seems to be the passion project of two friends, one of whom doesn't work as a journalist. I think it fits the definition of WP:Self-published source. The interviews they publish could be useful as WP:Primary sources, but their reviews are (admittedly well-written) opinions from a couple of guys with a blog, and not reliable in the same way as a magazine with an editorial policy.
