Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Fascism, you may be blocked from editing. Changing a short description so that it so clearly contradicts the article is obviously unacceptable and I believe that you knew that and that it would be reverted, as it was by another editor.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello 7Lucas, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) 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.


 * 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 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 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 Copyrights. You may also want to review 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 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 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 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 Translation. See also 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. 💵Money💵emoji💵Talk💸Help out at CCI! 13:16, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 15:26, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.


 * Hi 7Lucas,


 * Please stop adding information about the CnCNet server. It is not notable and has no place on Wikipedia. It will need significant coverage by reliable, independent sources, so not the primary source of CnCNet itself. Any additions like this will be removed. soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 15:32, 12 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi 7Lucas,


 * A couple of hours ago you sent me an email. It read:

"Hi

I would like to sent you a comment.

'server not notable'.

It won't be notable if there is no place where people can notice it. This is a chicken and egg problem."


 * I see you've been editing since August 2018, but haven't made a lot of edits. I'll try to explain some of Wikipedia to you. As text can't communicate tone perfectly, let me stress that I'm trying to help you here.


 * As you can see on the 'email this user' page, "Unless you are discussing a confidential subject, it is usually better to leave a message on the editor's talk page". Wikipedia is an open and collaborative effort, there's no need for you to send me an email. Matter of fact, in my almost 14 years of editing Wikipedia you're the second person to do so. Also, by emailing someone your own personal email address is shown. You might like to think twice next time. To comment on your or someone else's talk page, you can just edit it. Write what you want. If you like to notify me (or any other Wikipedian) that you've replied to, you can do so by writing, with the correct username (of course you won't have to do that when editing another's talk page). By typing ~ , you'll leave a signature.


 * Now, about the Command & Conquer servers: Wikipedia is not the place for randomly sharing that kind of information. What Wikipedia is not, you can read at WP:NOT, but specifically, see WP:NOTPLUG. If you're saying it isn't notable, it doesn't deserve a mention on Wikipedia. You probably mean well, and care about Command & Conquer, but a server for people to play online is not particularly notable. You see, to have an article on a subject, or even to mention it in an article, it has to be notable. Noteworthy, it has received enough coverage, that kind of stuff. So there are certain servers for video games that by themselves have reached enough notability (i.e., Mineplex, a Minecraft server), but often times a server is just mentioned in the article body (see Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer section, about dedicated servers). You'll notice that these have relevant sources. And that's what matters, significant, independent coverage. So not a primary source, like the server itself. For video games, we often use a list of sources that are considered reliable (see WP:VG/RS, which also has its own custom Google search engine). And I'm afraid there isn't any mention of 'CnCNet', only in some comments sections.


 * I hope this helps. If you have any questions, you know how to reach me. Thanks, and happy editing. soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 14:35, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

We have an article on a very useful skill
You should check out our article on paraphrasing.

Instead of posting everything as a quote, simply change the words. For example:

Don't just quote a source, say the same message in a different way.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at David Keith (physicist). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Sink Cat (talk) 00:43, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

 * i don't like people that pretend to be something they are not. 7Lucas (talk) 19:23, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I am not aware of David Keith pretending to be a certified engineer or anything like that. True, his company is called Carbon Engineering, but that doesn't seem to me to be such a claim any more than someone calling a computer repair store Computer Doctor is a claim to be a certified medical professional. Is there something else you're referring to? Crust (talk) 18:03, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * i attended one of his courses and he presented himself as an engineer and even had parts about thinking like an engineer. It simply stating the truth may help other people to not take these engineering related courses from a non engineer as it is deceiving and fraudulent especially when people pay for courses. 7Lucas (talk) 18:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Is there any publicly available information you could point to along these lines, that other editors could verify? Crust (talk) 23:29, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, this is one of the courses, I will lodge a complaint with edx for someone pretending to be an engineer. 7Lucas (talk) 06:16, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
