 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring and sockpuppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Copyright violations
Hello, Icasite. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Contributor copyright investigations concerning your contributions in relation to Wikipedia's copyrights policy. The listing can be found here. For some suggestions on responding, please see Responding to a CCI case. Thank you. --Dougweller (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:05, 25 November 2010 (UTC).

Dear Dougweller,

I created a page about Imperialist Competitive Algorithm. You addressed some copyright issues.

This method was presented in 2007 in the following paper which is referred in the first line of the article.


 * 1) Atashpaz-Gargari, E.; Lucas, C (2007). "Imperialist Competitive Algorithm: An algorithm for optimization inspired by imperialistic competition". IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation. 7. pp. 4661–4666.

Then in other papers which are the new applications and/or variants of this method, the basic part, which is the algorithm itself is remained unchanged by referring to the first (above mentioned) article. This why you see that some parts of this article appear in many papers. For example the pseudocode of this algorithm is the known and standard steps of this algorithm and it is really hard (or may be impossible) to express these steps in terms other than what is currently published in papers.

Also most of the paper about this algorithm are listed in the references section of the article, including the 3 articles you indicated as the copyright issue sample.

I modified the article to address the papers in more detail. For each paragraph I added references. If you think following the above explanation and modifications I did, I need to modify the article or remove some parts, please kindly let me know.

I also sent you the copy of this message as on email to you.

Bests,

Here is your comment about this article.

Imperialist competitive algorithm is a newly created article by a new user. A quick search turns up a large number of copyvios (interestingly enough, writers of journal articles in this field appear to be guilty of the same). Thus [1] is the (or a) source of "modeled by picking some (usually one) of one of the colonies of the weakest empire and making a competition among all empires to possess these (this) colonies." and " The total power of an empire depends on both the power of the imperialist country and the power of its colonies." and almost all of the section on pseudocode. Another source is [2], A search on "starts with an initial population. Each individual of the population is called a country" and other excerpts turns up this article [3] although you can only see it with a google search as the snippets show it but you can't read the article itself.

 * The problem is that you've copied word for word from various sources. You should also read WP:Close paraphrase. I've replied on the copyvio page. Dougweller (talk) 20:46, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
