 * Hello! I would be glad to help, although I work primarily on mobile which is very inconvenient for editing. I am not able to access similar tools as PC. I always have to revert edits manually because of this.


 * I appreciate you contacting me, although I am unable to proactively assist you, I can drop by every now and then and assist. I wish you the best of luck! ChaoticTexan (talk) 04:05, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind attention :) and many greetings

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello ChaoticTexan, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Christianity in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex 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. — Diannaa (talk) 14:23, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from University of al-Qarawiyyin into Education in Islam. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 14:50, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

 * This is certainly related to the conflict between Palestine and Israel. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:33, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info! I was a bit confused on how to request an edit as I was trying to follow the rules. Hence the talk page edit rather than trying to edit the article itself. I noticed that I currently have 503 edits and my account is 5 years old. Is there something else I must do to be able to edit such articles or write in the talk pages? I tried two different talk page requests which both got deleted. One was about the synthesizing of material for tying Peleset, Phillistine, and other historical names as being equated to Palestine. As I noticed the main reference point was the British interpretation of certain terms into Palestine. The other was about renaming the State of Israel to Israel to match the wikipage, and Palestine to the "State of Palestine" as is the title on that wikipage. Thanks once again for the help!

Your edit to National myth has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa (talk) 12:05, 26 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info, could you please explain to me how to avoid this in the future? Even if someone is properly given attribution via citation, and even if the statement says that "According to X," what could I do to properly include the information without running into copyright issues? I read the Wikipedia article on copyright and the only thing I can suspect is that linktree possibly links to other material that is copyrighted, or that the source itself uses other copyrighted marerial? I would appreciate if you could clarify. ChaoticTexan (talk) 21:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
