User talk:Ditc

Hello
Hi, I haven't been active on here for quite a while, but I just checked my page today to see an anonymous comment left on my Discussions page. I later found out it was posted by you by the View History tab. The comment was left back in January 2, so please go back to my page if you want to remember it. It seemed like a very well-informed commentary on what Iran considers it's rightfull sphere of influence (which includes Arab countries amongst other Central Asian Republics). May I ask what the post was about and why the secrecy in not signing your name (or even allowing auto-signing by the bot). Femallah, Pink Princess (talk) 18:07, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Short citations and ibidem
Hello. Please do not use incomplete short citations and do not omit dates of publication.. Please italicize book titles and note that constructs such as ''ibid., loc. cit.'' and idem are discouraged by Wikipedia's style guide for footnotes, as they are easily broken..

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Ditc, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Ahmad Kasravi has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without 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 a cited source. 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. Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:55, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
