=== Copyright violations ===
{{see also|Wikipedia:Copyright violations}}
Contributors who repeatedly post copyrighted material despite appropriate warnings may be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] from editing by any [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrator]] to prevent further problems.

If you suspect a copyright violation, you should at least bring up the issue on that page's [[Wikipedia:Talk page|discussion page]]. Others can then examine the situation and take action if needed. Some cases will be false alarms. For example, text that can be found elsewhere on the Web that was in fact copied from Wikipedia in the first place is not a copyright violation on Wikipedia's part.

If a page contains material which infringes copyright, that material–and the whole page, if there is no other material present–should be removed. See [[Wikipedia:Copyright violations]] for more information, and [[Wikipedia:Copyright problems#Instructions|Wikipedia:Copyright problems]] for detailed instructions.
