 * Hi. The blocking admin has long since retired so I can't ask them, but it looks like this account was suspected of being a sock account of User:Benwiener. You edited two articles very soon after Benwiener created them back in 2009 - Wiener Mishloach Manot and Hochstein Mishloach manot, both now deleted. User:Ajwiener was also blocked by the same admin at the same time. Can you tell us whether either of those two accounts are/were yours? Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:36, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi there, Hochstein Mishloach manot was mine, the other wasn't, I am not sure why the system thought a bot did it just because of an edit taking place closely in time. I'd appreciate being unblocked. thanks
 * No, it is nothing to do with a bot, it is the manual use of multiple accounts. The accounts are User:Benwiener, User:Ajwiener and User:Effyh. Are you saying that User:Benwiener is your account? What about User:Ajwiener - is that your account too? Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:56, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

No not at all, I never used it and it isn't mine. my account is User:Effyh


 * Thank you VERY much

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Effyh, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Charles S. Sanford Jr. have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 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 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) 20:10, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
