Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Probable sinistrix! Your additions to User:Probable sinistrix/sandbox 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. Please note that licenses that do not allow commercial use, such as TVTropes's Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License, are not permitted on Wikipedia. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Compatible licenses. Thank you. Yerlo (talk) 15:10, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
- What?! That was directly copied from the Invincible comics's plot section to rewrite them! This is not fair! Probable sinistrix (talk) 10:06, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
- Wait, I wasn't aware the plot section of Invincible comics copied it from https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/Invincible2003. I won't try copying anything to my sandbox again and I'll try to rewrite the whole plot again. Probable sinistrix (talk) 10:13, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Yerlo This deletion appears to be erroneous as the TVTropes's plot section is a WP:BACKWARDSCOPY of Wikipedia. Ca talk to me! 10:20, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
- Yeah, taht plot section was created in November 1st seen from it's view history (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Recap.Invincible2003) while the article, Invincible comics' plot section had it before November first (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Invincible_(comics)&diff=prev&oldid=1319717080).

- You're right, the content was copied to TVTropes from Wikipedia so it should be available for reuse. In the future, when you copy between Wikipedia pages please remember to follow Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and leave a note in your edit summary detailing which article you copied from. I don't have a copy of the page, but deleting admin @BusterD should be able to restore the page for you. Sorry about this! Yerlo (talk) 19:35, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

Speaking as an admin, my sincere apologies for deleting this page by accident yesterday. In my defense, this writing is wildly crufty and unencyclopedic. Personally I'm inclined to leave it deleted (hoping never to see such drek in pagespace again), but since this was a goodfaith error by both the tagger and myself, I will undelete the page. Speaking merely as a wikipedian, this material should NOT be reinserted into pagespace in its current form. I would hope Probable sinistrix is energetic in reducing this material to a condition appropriate for an encyclopedia. IMHO, it would be best if an entirely new draft is created, using NONE of the copied material, but that's not up to me. BusterD (talk) 20:13, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
- Yeah, I guess I will just rewrite the whole thing myself. Probable sinistrix (talk) 12:35, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
