Copyright infringement and plagiarism[edit]

I am a content creator and Declara has copied my content on their website (mirror) without notification, let alone permission. They also set the date of the articles they copy to the current date (another example), so they show up higher in search engine results. User:Ottomunaiz and User:MelanieN, thoughts? -- Dandv 05:58, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Dandv, and thanks for the ping. This question has a simple answer: Declara is fully entitled to copy, reuse, or edit anything on Wikipedia. We do not "own" our contributions. Other people do not need our permission to copy them elsewhere. They are supposed to give a link to the source they took them from, but given that requirement, Wikipedia content is freely available to everyone. This is pointed out, several times, every time you do an edit. At the top of the edit window it says: "Work submitted to Wikipedia can be edited, used, and redistributed—by anyone—subject to certain terms and conditions." At the bottom of the edit page, above the "save changes" button, it says: "By saving changes, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL. You agree that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient attribution under the Creative Commons license." If Declara does not give a hyperlink to your article, you should contact them and tell them to do so. Sorry, but the bottom line is: is you want to retain control over your writing, or claim ownership of it, don't put it on Wikipedia. --MelanieN (talk) 19:54, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Looking at your links again, I don't see any Wikipedia content. If you're talking about something you wrote that was not part of Wikipedia, the above comments don't apply - but there is also nothing Wikipedia can say or do about it. --MelanieN (talk) 20:01, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
