User talk:Brotzgek

August 2023
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and 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 engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.  •C y b erw o l f•  17:37, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.


 * I am confused as to why my edits continue to be reversed. The material in the updates are linked to publicly sourced materials per Wiki policy. Also, the previously drafted article, which Cyberwolf continues to revert it to, is not only incomplete, but also very dated. I though the Wiki community wanted full, accurate, up-to-date profiles of living people. Brotzgek (talk) 17:42, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * You have deleted all of the citations replaced everything and hyperlinked everything •C y b erw o l f•  17:44, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * If that is the issue, then I can simply re-add old citations and use the source linked material and add those to the citations as well. No need to keep deleting all the work. Brotzgek (talk) 17:46, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Also are you paid? •C y b erw o l f•  17:49, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Nope. Brotzgek (talk) 17:55, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello Cyberwolf, I'm going to try to make some edits again. We cool if I just replace links with citations? Brotzgek (talk) 20:18, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Brotzgek! Your additions to Bruce D. Broussard 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. 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.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * 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 either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Donating copyrighted materials.
 * 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 described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 16:50, 12 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Can you please cite directly to where you claim a copyright infringement has taken place in my article edits? I wrote this content and claims to the contrary are quite frustrating. Brotzgek (talk) 12:21, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * There was some content that matched this webpage. The matching content actually is present in multiple places online. Here is a link to the CopyPatrol report. Click on the iThenticate link to view what was found by the detection service. — Diannaa (talk) 22:05, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
