Control copyright icon Hello 75Portlewes! Your additions to Sponsored film 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. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
  • 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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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. DanCherek (talk) 16:59, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Dianna.
Thanks for flagging possible copyright infringements in my Wikipedia entry on Louise Winslow, an early U.S. television star.
I'll gladly rewrite my entry, if you feel it is necessary. However, I ask you to please consider two things:
(1) I am the author of the online Encyclopedia of Cleveland History (ECH) entry on Louise Winslow and the Sponsored Film and Great Lakes Exposition entries also cited by Wikipedia editors for possible copyright problems. I'm a regular contributor to ECH. Contributed ECH entries include the author's name at the end of the submitted write-ups. Of course, you wouldn't know that from my Wikipedia login name.
(2) When I started working with the ECH, I asked the editor of the Encyclopedia about the publication policy on copyrights. The editor is John Grabowski, Case Western Reserve University Krieger-Mueller Associate Professor of Applied History. John replied by email to me on April 11, 2022. He wrote...
Hi Jim,
We don't generally have any issue with people posting copies of our articles so long as they credit the ECH and, if possible, recommend it for a visit. The only instance in which we would refuse a full PDF posting is if the article contained media that had been made available solely for the ECH.
Hope this helps.
Best
John'
I believe my Louise Winslow and the other two entries cited above fall completely within the ECH guidelines.
I'm new to Wikipedia and absolutely want to follow your editorial guidelines.
Do my two arguments convince you that there is no copyright problem with my entry (entries)? If not, I can rewrite the pieces so that no unquoted phrase comes from my other work and/or I can ask the ECH editor to give Wikipedia editors permission to use the wording from ECH entries so long as the writer credits the ECH.
I look forward to your answer. 75Portlewes (talk) 22:24, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We have a copyright clearing process that should clear this up - indeed, we can't verify that you are the author on-wiki. Please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials, then email permissions-en@wikimedia.org. MER-C 18:41, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Dianna. I reworked the Louise Winslow entry so there should be no copyright concerns. It has been sitting on my sandbox for several weeks. Would you mind taking a look at it? Thank you.

Fostoria Glass Company

[edit]

Hello 75Portlewes - Thank you for your interest in Fostoria Glass Company. I moved your addition of the movie "Crystal Clear" to the External links section of the article—you had it in the wrong place with extra unnecessary text. I see where you have had some issues with copyrighted material, but this is only an external link. I will leave it up to other Wikipedians, who have more knowledge about these types of things, to decide if this link is appropriate to have in Wikipedia. I hope it is. TwoScars (talk) 20:47, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you TwoScars. I appreciate the fast response and you edits. I hope the link stays as well.
Crystal Clear was important in its day and has been the subject of several articles and at least one academic paper. American Flint (whatever that is) (1949), V. 38, p. 48 says that over a million people watched the film - mostly in home economics classes. And as I noted, the film was revised and reissued at least two times after that.
Some thoughts on copyrights and linking to early sponsored films and made-for-TV content.
Many/most sponsored films were not copyrighted. The sponsors wanted as many people as possible to see them.
It was common practice for Cinecraft Productions, the producer of "Crystal Clear," the Fostoria film, to retain the “copyright” on the films they made. Keeping the copyright was one way to ensure that requests for prints of their films came back to the studio.
As I understand it, sponsored films in the 40s, 50s and 60s needed to include a copyright notice on the film itself to be copyrighted and you needed to file the copyright notice with the Copyright Clearance Center. The Fostoria film has no copyright notice on it and I can find no record of the film being filed with the Copyright Clearance Center.
Hagley Library, a library that specializes in preserving American Business History and is the home of the Cinecraft film archives, has no problem with my linking to Crystal Clear, the Fostoria film in Wikipedia.
Fingers crossed that the copyright experts on Wikipedia will see it this way as well. 75Portlewes (talk) 21:29, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As info, American Flint was the newsletter of the American Flint Glass Workers' Union. Many editions, published before 1927, are available on the web and can provide useful information from the union's point of view. TwoScars (talk) 20:12, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Thatguy1987. I'm disappointed that you felt my entry on Louise Winslow was not supported by reliable sources. Citing news articles in major newspapers, published books, ancestry.com, academia.edu, the Case-Western Reserve Encyclopedia of Cleveland History, and other sources have worked for me in the past. Can you be more specific? Which specific footnote(s) need fixing? Thank you. 75Portlewes (talk) 21:00, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
