User talk:Annatasja1977

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, Dacaar, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent the Danish Committee for Aid to Afghan Refugees rather than yourself. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. Fæ (talk) 09:00, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * August 2010
 * Note that changing your signature is not sufficient to address the apparent Conflict of interest of having an account name that is the same as the article you are editing. If you change your name, your password remains unchanged and your edit history would be moved the new account (see WP:CHUS). You can see if suitable names are free by searching taken user names at Special:ListUsers. Thanks Fæ (talk) 11:43, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I seem stupid, but I simply don't understand how I can change my username. Why is it so difficult? If I click on the link user name, I just get another link. Can't I change it under my preferences? (Natasja 12:06, 17 August 2010 (UTC))
 * Afraid not, check the instructions on WP:CHUS, if you correctly fill out a request on that page then a bureaucrat will eventually come along and rename your account. It's a little tedious but needed to slow down vandals. If you get stuck then let me know your preferred new name and I'll create the request on your behalf. Fæ (talk) 12:11, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Copyright problem on DACAAR
Hi, much of the text you have added to this article is taken directly from dacaar.org which is copyrighted as all rights reserved. Based on the WP:COPYVIO policy this text is likely to be removed (there are even some 'bots that are designed to detect this sort of violation). Any such text needs to be fundamentally re-written (not just paraphrased) to avoid this problem.

Considering the subject and your good intentions I have delayed tagging the article as a copyright problem but you may want to discuss your plans for further re-writing on the article talk page or if you are planning to address copyright in some other way. If the text still appears problematic in another day or so I'll tag the article for further review and/or action. Thanks Fæ (talk) 12:56, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Can you explain to me how I address copyright? I'm new here, so I don't purposely overstep any rules. There are just so many things to consider, and it's hard to find information about DACAAR other places that on their website. Thank you (Natasja 18:43, 16 August 2010 (UTC))


 * Taking basic information from the website is fine and can be cited back to the website itself. The issue is the text you have copied directly from the website.
 * There is some general guidance at WP:COPYVIO and WP:Copyright assistance but the best response is to ensure that the text is written in your own words and neither an obvious copy or obvious paraphrasing (i.e. text that substantially uses the same style and vocabulary of the original). At the moment the article seems on the long side and reproduces some of the promotional elements from the DACAAR website which makes it read rather un-encyclopaedic-ally, I suggest pruning the text back and rewriting factual sections you feel are important to include. You could also ask for help and comments at WP:WikiProject Copyright Cleanup.
 * A simple test for anyone who suspects a copyright problem is to Google example paragraphs from the article and see what matches, at the moment this gives direct complete matches to DACAAR's text which would be sufficient to lead to it being reported at Copyright problems (if that does happen there is a week to fix problems before it would be deleted).

Ok, thank you very much. Please give me a little time to rewrite, before you report the issues. (Natasja 06:11, 17 August 2010 (UTC)).
 * No problem, happy to know you are on the case. I'll keep the article on my watchlist. Fæ (talk) 06:56, 17 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I have Goggled some samples of text from the current article and I get no blatant match to prose from other websites. Well done on your rewrite. Thanks. Fæ (talk) 07:38, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Annatasja1977, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.
