User talk:Almodaa

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Kautilya3 (talk) 13:38, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Recent edit to Chetan Bhagat
Hello. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person (Chetan Bhagat), but that you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Adityavagarwal (talk) 12:36, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

September 2017
Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Justin Bieber. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 05:34, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello. Your recent edit to September 11 attacks appear to be your own personal point of view and is written as a newspaper article. Wikipedia is a encyclopedia and not a newspaper. Please stop now. Thank you, David J Johnson (talk) 08:30, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Mean as custard (talk) 07:52, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Almodaa, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to The Times of India 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  10:58, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I see that you've been adding copyvios at many articles. If any further such disruption continues then your editing privileges will be withdrawn completely. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  11:03, 23 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi Almodaa, I came here to leave a message but I can see SpacemanSpiff got here before me. However I'm concerned that despite the information left you seem to be still doing this. I suggest you stop editing and read the links above, and maybe do the Wikipedia adventure which will walk you through the basics. If there is anything you don't understand after that then please ask. If you continue to violate copyright you will most likely be blocked from editing. Thanks. Mramoeba (talk) 13:02, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Charles Babbage. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Dr.  K.  07:49, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Louvre Abu Dhabi, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. UA3 (talk) 17:19, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

CCI Notice
Hello, Almodaa. This message is being sent to inform you that a request for a contributor copyright investigation has been filed at Contributor copyright investigations concerning your contributions to Wikipedia in relation to Wikipedia's copyrights policy. The listing can be found here. For some suggestions on responding, please see Responding to a CCI case. Thank you. Mramoeba (talk) 20:47, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and despite prior advice and warnings given, your edits continue to repeatedly violate others’ copyright by copying and pasting chunks of text. At least two editors have offered help to explain and clarify the procedures you need to follow. Mramoeba (talk) 20:47, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
