Thank you for your work on Georgia College & State University but I had to revert some of your contributions because you copy and pasted them straight from the GCSU website. This is not allowed in Wikipedia. Please use the website as a source of information but do not copy sentences from it. I hope you will re-write the information using your own words.

A clarification of Wikipedia policies concerning copyrighted material

edit

The copyrighted material that you copy and pasted from the GC&SU website was removed a second time. It was removed because permission to use copyrighted material must be formally granted. Please read Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for more information. In short, an email should be sent to [email protected] from an authorized university address. To be an authorized university address, the email address must be associated with GC&SU and listed on GC&SU website. Do not re-add this copyrighted material unless and until permission has been formally (not informally) granted from the copyright holder.

Also, please be aware that all material on Wikipedia is free for anyone to edit. Once you place material on the GC&SU article, anyone can change it in anyway that they think improves the article. Make sure that you have read the bottom of the page that appears when you are in the edit mode. It states:

"Please note:

  • By submitting content, you agree to release your contributions under the GNU Free Documentation License.
  • If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it.
  • Only public domain resources can be copied without permission—this does not include most web pages or images.
  • See our policies and guidelines for more information on editing."

File source problem with File:DLeland.jpg

edit
 

Thank you for uploading File:DLeland.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of File:GCSUFrontCampus.jpg

edit
 

The file File:GCSUFrontCampus.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 13 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
