Welcome!
Hello, Panther999, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

Not refusing to communicate
I got a message that says I refuse to communicate? There's no question. What am I doing wrong?Panther999 (talk)
 * If you saw that message in the edit summary, then you would've seen the one prior that said you need to use "ref tags" which look like to put your links for references, not just throwing random URLs all over the article. I also directed you here, where you already had a welcome message with links and instructions for beginners, and I then added a second one with even more links. At this point you disregarded all those messages and continued as previously, which prompted my additional edit summary which you noticed. Please take the time to explore Wikipedia! But if someone takes the time to fix a mistake you un-knowingly made and takes the time to explain how not to make it going forward, but you keep doing it you're way, that's kind of annoying. I'd suggest slow down your editing and explore some of the links on this page and maybe edit in the sandbox some until you get a feel for the ins and outs. JesseRafe (talk) 19:03, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Panther999, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Moulay Bouzarqtoune 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * 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 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.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * 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 in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

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) 13:51, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I want to see what I did that you say violated copyright, but I can't seem to view that edit. I don't copy-paste content from other sources. Can you help me view this? --Panther999 (talk) 16:34, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
