Pictures of the Past moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Pictures of the Past, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... disco spinster   talk  18:57, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Gorky
Your comparison does not, I'm afraid, lend validity to those templates being in the main article. All the articles related to Anna Karenina, that template should be in the article for Anna Karenina, not the article for Tolstoy. It is no coincidence all those templates are from the same editor, and their only function in the main article is negative: they distract. Drmies (talk) 00:52, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Opostylov! Your additions to Gavril Myasnikov 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. — Diannaa (talk) 19:43, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Ways to improve The Oppermanns
Hello, Opostylov,

Thank you for creating The Oppermanns.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

"The article contains long phrases (not under direct quotation) copied from copyrighted sources, particularly in the "Background" and "Plot" sections. Please rewrite the article in your own words as soon as possible. Unattributed and excessive close paraphrasing is a copyright violation.

You can refer to the results of the copyvio detector for this article here. Particularly its similarities with the Deutsche Welle and New York Times sources (long phrases, nearly full sentences copied without direct quotes)."

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with. Remember to sign your reply with. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
