November 2016[edit]
Hello, I'm Elizium23. An edit that you recently made to John Podesta seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Elizium23 (talk) 05:40, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright[edit]
Hello Toiredundemoshunal, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Louis Jolyon West have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
- 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- 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 can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:49, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
March 2018[edit]
Your addition to Lake Headley has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. — CactusWriter (talk) 15:03, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
- Hi User:CactusWriter. It's a long time since I did this edit, so I'm afraid I can't remember what I wrote. Since you've deleted it, I now can't access it to see what it was. However, I see that you deleted various edits I made from different sections of the article, so it can't possibly have been a direct quote. I created this article (I can't log in to that user as I've forgotten my password), and update it semi-frequently. I bought a Lake Headley book in order to contribute to this page. Despite having edited Wikipedia since 2006, I rarely use this talk stuff, so apologies for bad formatting here.--Toiredundemoshunal (talk) 22:45, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi, Toiredundemoshunal. The copyright violation included text copied directly from a 1990 Publishers Weekly review of the book "Loud and Clear: Lake Headley" [1]. It was included in a single edit that you made on November 25 2017. Because subsequent edits were incorporated into it, the entire group of edits were reverted to a point prior to the addition, and then cleaned from the history per our standard protocol. That section concerned the Don Bolles car bombing. It was obviously a significant chapter in the life of Lake Headley -- so if you can create that section in original wording, that would be useful. Cheers. — CactusWriter (talk) 00:29, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
