Welcome!

Hello, Leaf8613, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that some of your recent edits, such as the ones to the page Larry Bird, show an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.

Did you know that ...

...Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
...most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
...Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
...freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images where they can be used on all Wikipedia projects?
...we recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process – at least until you get the hang of things?

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! —Bagumba (talk) 16:17, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello Leaf8613! Your additions to Luka Dončić 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. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
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. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. 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 in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 14:48, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

March 2021[edit]

Hello, I'm Bagumba. Your recent edit to the page Aaron Gordon appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now. The transaction is based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement. If you believe the transaction has been completed, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 00:53, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification[edit]

Hello Leaf! Thanks for clarifying what a video game composer is. Maybe he could be mentioned in a note next to Toby Fox? Kinda similar it is on Minecraft where it lists C418 and then the other composers in a footnote. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:59, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree that he should just be added as a footnote. Leaf8613 (talk) 14:03, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. I was considering doing that anyway since he really only had 1 song in the game (so far) and so it feels wrong to credit him as one of the main composers when his song was really just a bonus. Similar to Toby Fox's role in Pokemon Sword and Shield (which doesn't even mention that Toby Fox composed a song for the game which is a little odd) ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:08, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Its really a broad spectrum on what counts and what doesn't. Kind of weird and hard to decide so usually its best to play both sides. Leaf8613 (talk) 14:16, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
