Wikipedia and copyright
Hello MaliMail! Your additions to Foreign Relations of Russia since the Russian invasion of Ukraine 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. Please 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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 23:45, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

October 2023
Your edit to Recognition of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan 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.

License tagging for File:International reactions to the October 2023 Gaza–Israel conflict.png
Thanks for uploading File:International reactions to the October 2023 Gaza–Israel conflict.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:30, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Hamas into Foreign relations of Hamas. 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. — Diannaa (talk) 16:26, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Bilateral articles
You have created a few in recent weeks but I noticed you create them as a WP:STUB and walk away and create others. Your efforts may be better spent improving the ones you started rather than creating new ones. Some of the ones you created I believe are random combinations and non notable. Thanks.

Please update File:Legal status of transgender people Map.png
Hello, thank you for making used in the page Legal status of transgender people. However, it seems the map is out of date. The talk page mentions that Egypt has legalised gender change. The Falklands / Malvinas are marked as 'illegal', even though the rest of the UK is 'legal'. Also, the category 'legal in theory, defacto illegal' in the map is a bit confusing. Of the five countries in this category, China and Jordan should be pink (legal after surgery) and Tajikistan should be white (unknown) according to other information on the page. Please take a look at these issues and update the map as needed. Thank you! --Jose Mathew (talk) 17:30, 3 December 2023 (UTC)


 * it says illegal on Egypt on the page LGBT rights by country or territory
 * but thank you, will do if I have the time.

Edit warring at Hamas over Israel being an ally
Your recent editing history at Hamas shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --Orgullomoore ( talk ) 19:40, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Initial insertion by MaliMail: (23:03, 21 October 2023) (no edit summary)
 * Removal by Dovidroth: with the edit summary Unsupported. Too big of a stretch. There's no indication Hamas was Israel's ally back then, even if they got some help to counter Fatah. See also WP:EXCEPTIONAL (05:02, 23 October 2023).
 * Re-insertion by MaliMail: with the edit summary it is supported on the source (13:27, 23 October 2023).
 * Removal by Skitash: with the edit summary This took place before Hamas existed. It belongs in Muhama al-Islamiya. (20:28, 17 November 2023).
 * Re-insertion by MaliMail: without any edit summary (20:46, 19 November 2023).

question
@Girth Summit why are pages like Sudan-Ukraine relations deleted? that is not a vandalism page. I'll leave otherwise. but why are these things deleted? MaliMail (talk) 13:24, 11 January 2024 (UTC)


 * WP:G5. Girth Summit  (blether)  13:25, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * thank you. can those be appealed though? it ruined certain pages now that those are deleted?
 * -- MaliMail (talk) 13:27, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * You would first have to make a successful appeal of the block on your original account. The chances of such an appeal being successful in the near term are nil - see WP:SO. Girth Summit  (blether)  16:08, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Mm. Creating a new account to continue doing the same stuff is not going to help your case if you ever do apply for unblock from your original account. I have implimented a 3X community ban - any future unblock request will have to undergo community review. I wish you well, but I ask that you take up a different hobby.
