User talk:SCP-UPC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page.--Asteriontalk 19:45, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Polytechnic University of Catalonia

The text you added to Polytechnic University of Catalonia is identical to text at http://www.upc.edu/celsem/down/ENG_CELSEM_Brochure.pdf and http://www.upc.edu/english/la-upc/presentacio/historia.htm. This is considered a copyright violation. But if you-as you indicate-hold the copyright to these texts and permit their use under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, then

  • Explain this on the articles discussion page
  • and then either
    • display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or
    • send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en at wikimedia dot org or
    • a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation.

These messages must explicitly permit use under the GFDL.

Note: Articles on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; copyright issues aside, your text may not be appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia.
