Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Ingridabi! Your additions to Marwan Kheireddine 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. 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.
 * 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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Politanvm talk 03:12, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm 0xDeadbeef. I noticed that in this edit to Marwan Kheireddine, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 0x Deadbeef  (T C) 12:38, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Marwan Kheireddine, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Your edit to Marwan Kheireddine 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 more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. 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.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Marwan Kheireddine, you may be blocked from editing. Politanvm talk 04:04, 24 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm glad your message was sent, because that is exactly what I would have requested from wikipedia. It is not I who is performing 'disrupting editing', I am the creator of this page, and a smear campaign is happening on this information, including the use of foul language which I do not see wikipedia removing and hence have to do it myself. As such, instead of this email being sent to me, I would appreciate you advise/guidance as to how to stop the continuous editing/disruption of the page from scammers!

 * Hi Ingridabi, thanks for replying. Please keep in mind that no matter who creates a Wikipedia article, no individual editor owns it (see WP:OWN). Articles are maintained and updated by the full community of Wikipedia editors, following Wikipedia’s guidelines and policies. You can get a brief into to editing and the most important policies at Help:Introduction.
 * Kheireddine is a living person, so we do need to be careful about using reliable sources, per the biographies of living people policy (WP:BLP). However, that doesn’t mean the article can be used to promote Kheireddine (WP:PROMO) or that it can only state positive news about him. Wikipedia isn’t censored, so we don’t remove reliably sourced information just because it is unflattering.
 * Let me know if you have any questions or clarifications about these guidelines. Politanvm talk 04:47, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I do understand that, and I am not talking about just scammers adding negative news about the person. I am talking about words like (apologies for the terminology) 'asshole, or changing the name of the person to mean dick in arabic...(maybe they are not flagged so obviously because arabic style wording is being used), and other unacceptable terminology. I don't believe that is the policy of wikipedia. The issue I have is how to stop that, since it is happening on a daily basis (quite tiring really). Is there a filtering system? Appreciate your guidance. Ingridabi (talk) 04:57, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * There are some bots that automatically revert egregious obvious vandalism, and many users like myself who watch recent changes for vandalism, but sometimes things slip through. If a page is being vandalized by many users over a short period of time, articles can be temporarily locked from anonymous editors. But that doesn’t seem to be the case for Kheireddine. Looking at the page history, the most recent egregious vandalism was a month ago, and it was very quickly reverted. Politanvm talk 05:06, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Fait enough. Will keep checking, sometimes more frequent attacks happen and sometimes I get some rest :). Thank you for your help Ingridabi (talk) 05:11, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
