Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Plainwriter! Your additions to Rebecca Gomperts 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) 20:34, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, then, if you wish to do so, respond to the evidence at Sockpuppet investigations/Plainwriter. Thank you. microbiology Marcus [petri dish·growths] 16:55, 11 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi Marcus - what a wonderful name, sock puppetry. But i can assure you that i don't have multiple wikipedia accounts. Roland 109.38.147.126 (talk) 09:53, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Marcus - i have been trying to piece together what may have happened - and this is what i imagine:
 * 1 - i met Anne Hallward professionally, was impressed with her work and thought of writing a wiki page
 * 2- i made a draft based on public sources and a CV that i had obtained
 * 3- the draft was shared with a couple of people who knew her, as a sanity check and light peer review for quality
 * 4- then in the wiki process with you, i edited and removed some things that were problematic sources, to the final product
 * 5- i made a few small polish tweaks - and identified them as such
 * 6- i imagine that in parallel some of the folks who had reviewed the original draft then saw the public version - and proceeded to add back things that they thought should be there. I obviously have no control over that - and if those changes are not compliant, they should be rejected independently.
 * Hope this helps, and thanks for the amazing work keeping - i really think the wiki process is beyond awesome! Plainwriter (talk) 09:42, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
