Copyright problem: Eugenics

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Eugenics, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to contain material copied from http://www.toqonline.com/blog/the-last-sane-nation/, "Science in the twentieth century" [1], and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

• If you have permission from the author to release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Eugenics and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". Make sure you quote the exact page name, Eugenics, in your email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
• If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), version 3.0, or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Eugenics with a link to where we can find that note.
• If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:Eugenics. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Eugenics saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Mathsci (talk) 07:33, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

The above notice was clear enough and the report on the two copyvios was made here: Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2011 January 10. Please do not remove the copyvio notice on the article page until this matter is resolved. Thanks, Mathsci (talk) 10:42, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Copyright policy

Hello. Some of the content you added to Eugenics has been removed, as it duplicated or closely paraphrased previously published sources in a manner inconsistent with our policies regarding copyright and the use of non-free content. The other content has been properly attributed, as it, too, is a copyright problem to copy or translate content from other language Wikipedias without attribution. Wikipedia is not public domain, but liberally licensed for reuse so long as the licensing terms are met. Even when copying is done from public domain sources, that copying must be acknowledged to conform to Wikipedia's standards on plagiarism.

In brief, when dealing with copyrighted sources, you may extract information, but you cannot use the creative elements of the source, to include language and sometimes structure. You can use brief quotations, but only if these are explicitly marked as quotations and only if they are used transformatively. See Wikipedia:Copy-paste for a brief overview.

With respect to your note here, it is not vandalism to remove from publication content that violates this policy, although it would have been preferable to simply delete the problem content you added as I have now done. As it says at the bottom of every edit screen, "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted." You are welcome to rewrite the content to comply and readd the information to the article.

I will attend to the necessary attribution for copying from the German Wikipedia. Please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Translating from other language Wikimedia Projects for the procedure should you choose to translate or copy text from one project to another again. That page also contains the information you will need if you wish to copy content from one article to another. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:12, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

"I put Template:Disputed into the article until somebody normal fixes the values." Does that mean you're not normal? Go ahead and fix it. 70.15.11.44 (talk) 12:13, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

re Types of rape article, and WP:BRD

Hi. I suggest you review, urgently, Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle and Wikipedia:Edit war. Your edits to Types of rape have been reverted three times, and you have made no attempt to provide a rationale - referring to policy or guideline - for including the content posted by you. There is a discussion on the article talkpage, where reasons for not having the material included has been given. You may wish to comment there. If you continue to edit war for the inclusion of the material, without there being a consensus, you will very likely be blocked. LessHeard vanU (talk) 13:38, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

And to make it official...

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on types of rape. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.
You're officially at your third revert (as am I). If you revert one more time, it will be four reverts in a 24 hour period and you will be reported at the noticeboard and blocked from editing all pages. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:^simple/_complex 15:09, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Nigeria, you may be blocked from editing. - Ankimai (talk) 22:57, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

I have asked for you to be blocked

The ANI discussion is here. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 23:55, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for racist vandalism. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. jpgordon^{::==( o )} 01:05, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
