Welcome to Wikipedia, MarcBgd! I'm Ozzie10aaaa, and I've been assigned as your mentor. About half of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia!

Copyright

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Ingrid Detter de Frankopan article, 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.

You may use external websites or other printed material 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, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike".

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the Help Desk. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Yamla (talk) 19:28, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

This also applies to Lady Nicholas Windsor. Please do not edit further until you have resolved all WP:COPYRIGHT/WP:FAIRUSE concerns with your edits so far. --Yamla (talk) 19:29, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for the message,

I now understand the point. I have read the guidelines...I will try to improve my edits in the future...that is of course if I am allowed to do so, as I have been blocked for a period of indefinite. I would kindly ask to reconsider your decision after some time, as I am very happy about contributing here and have put great amount of effort and time to it.

Thank you in advance! MarcBgd (talk) 22:41, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

In order to lift the block, we need to be certain that you understand how copyright works on Wikipedia. To allow the reviewing administrator to assess your understanding, please respond to the following questions in your next unblock appeal, explaining in your own words:

• What is copyright?
• How is Wikipedia licenced?
• Why is copyrighted content not allowed on Wikipedia?
• Under what circumstances can we use copyrighted content?
• How do you intend to avoid violating the copyright policy in the future?

Your answers will enable us to establish whether or not you should be unblocked. Additionally, you'd need to commit to going back over 100% of your edits and removing all existing violations, prior to editing further. --Yamla (talk) 23:14, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of indefinite for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Your draft article, Draft:Trauttmansdorff (family)

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

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, 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.
