Re: Talk:Karameh
Greetings. I removed material that you copied from this website and posted to Talk:Karameh without attribution or indication of permission. I shall explain - The law of the U.S. (and most countries) gives an author ownership of his work. Wikipedia users can not post such an author's work anywhere - not in an article, nor in a talk page - without permission (unless it is just a small snippet, like a quote, which would be a "fair use"). If we were to do so, the author would have the right to sue the person who violated his copyright by posting the material, and in the U.S. could seek statutory damages of up to $150,000, so obviously it is very important to us to keep our users from holding themselves out to be sued, and to keep Wikipedia from getting drawn into such litigation. You are welcome to summarize the work of another author in your own words, and to quote sentences from another author, so long as you indicate that it is a quote and identify the source. Cheers!
