Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Vitcomms! Your additions to Victorian Institute of Teaching 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.
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. Please 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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 01:55, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:
Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. DanCherek (talk) 01:55, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
requesting to be unblocked as we are a government regulator, we are not a for-profit business selling goods or services. We understand that we were blocked for including too many back links to our site, which looked like promotion. We do not promote our work. Teachers in the state of Victoria, Australia must be registered with us, and must contact us to obtain registration. In future, we will not include embedded links.
Decline reason:
Your choice of new username is worse, please read the username policy. Accounts are for individuals, not organizations. Wikipedia treats non profits or government agencies no differently than for-profit organizations. Wikipedia is not a place for organizations to tell the world about themselves and what they do- nor is it acceptable to place the contents of your website here. The main purpose of a Wikipedia article is to summarize what independent reliable sources choose to say about an organization(or any topic, like your Prime Minister). Please read conflict of interest and paid editing and tell us how your future contributions will differ from your prior ones, as well as what edits you might make as a general contributor so we can judge your understanding of relevant Wikipedia policies- you won't be unblocked to, in the short term, edit about your organization; if that is your only goal here, this is the end of the road. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 08:19, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
Thanks @331dot. We've taken the time to review the policies. Instead, we would like to request an edit.
The page currently says "The Institute registers teachers working in all schools in Victoria." and, if possible, we would like this updated to "The Institute registers teachers and early childhood teachers working in schools and early childhood settings in Victoria." The reason for this is, as it currently reads, early childhood teachers would most likely perceive that registration doesn't apply to them when it is a non-negotiable requirement.
This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
@Yamla, we have read the respective policies. Can you please explicitly outline what the issue is with username Vt2002? This represents myself as an individual, not the organisation.
Apologies for not using the right introduction before the request. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vitcomms (talk • contribs)
If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, please replace this template with the following:
{{unblock-un on hold | 1=blocking administrator | 2=Secb2002 | 3=To meet wiki username requirements | 4=~~~~}}
If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following:
{{unblock-un reviewed | 1=Secb2002 | reason=To meet wiki username requirements | accept=Allowing username change to requested username. Please select an option from [[Wikipedia:Changing username]] and file a request as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. ~~~~}}
If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, replacing {{subst:Decline reason here}} with any specific rationale. If you do not edit the text after "decline=", a default reason why the request was declined will be inserted.
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. Reviewers are prevented from carrying out changes requested by a blocked account. If and when the issues which caused the block are resolved in the future, the COI editor is asked to make their request on the talk page of the article involved.
The page currently says "The Institute registers teachers working in all schools in Victoria." and, if possible, we would like this updated to "The Institute registers teachers and early childhood teachers working in schools and early childhood settings in Victoria."

The conflict of interest in this instance is that I am an employee of the Victorian Institute of Teaching. I do not intend on requesting any other changes. Vitcomms (talk) 22:20, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
