[edit]Hello! You are welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, but please do not add personal opinion or unsourced material to articles, as you did here: [1] And if an edit of yours gets removed, do not re-add it. Discuss it at the article's talk page instead. Thank you. --MelanieN (talk) 17:04, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
- @MelanieN: I'm sorry about that, I didn't mean to add these things. I was trying to do other minor edits, but there were so many users editing at the same time and so I had to copy the whole page, but I didn't see the added wordings and that's why I re-added it.--79.53.157.199 (talk) 17:18, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]Hello 79.53.157.199, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Anti-communism have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 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 the 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 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 the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also 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) 14:36, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
- @Diannaa: I'm sorry, I remember about Noam Chomsky's criticism section in the Black Book of Communism and I thought it could be a good addiction in describing this double standard, which I personally believe to be true but I added "alleged" to be sure of staying neutral, after Jodi Dean's criticism. I added the same source it was there and didn't realize it was copyrighted, so now I put Rogue States: The Rule of Force in World Affairs as source and added as link the book's page quotation from Google Books. I hope it's fine now.--79.53.157.199 (talk) 02:22, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- In the future, when copying from one Wikipedia article to another, please say in your edit summary at the destination article where you got the content. Here is an example of the edit summary you should use. Please see WP:Copying within Wikipedia for more information. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:58, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
