Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]
Hello BlackSun3988! Your additions to Misuse of Drugs Act (Singapore) 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 § License requirements.
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. Thank you. Diannaa (talk) 13:14, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- The Schedule 2 of the Misuse Of Drugs Act is in the public domain, it is published by a Government Agency, it is legislation and Statute passed by the Parliament of Singapore. Legislation and statutes published by the government are by default in the public domain. It is shameful that you deleted all of Schedule 2 of the Misuse of Drugs Act. The primary purpose of adding information to Schedule 2 raise awareness of the harsh penalties involving drugs in Singapore (Which includes the death penalty). I demand that it should be restored Source: https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/MDA1973?ProvIds=Sc2-#Sc2- BlackSun3988 (talk) 16:24, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Legislation and statues are not copyright material, they are published with the intention for access to all citizens and members of the public. BlackSun3988 (talk) 16:29, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Schedule 2 encompasses nearly all the drug related offences and their penalties in Singapore. By publishing all the potential consequences for drug offences, it could potentially save a life and prevent any severe legal consequences (such as the death penalty) for any person contemplating committing drug offences in Singapore.

- Sorry but I can't find anything to indicate that legislation or government works in Singapore is in the public domain. In fact I found the opposite: The webpage where I found it is marked as "© 2024 Attorney-General's Chambers of Singapore" and their terms of use states the content cannot be used without prior permission.
