Hello. Welcome to my account. I am an animal lover. I like to try to save the earth for the future.

Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Thank you for contributing edits that were made in good faith, but have been deemed not to contribute positively to the article. These edits have thus been reverted. Wikipedia's page on unacceptable additions may explain why. If you'd like to experiment with the syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

Some good links for newcomers are:
 * Help contents – the main help page.
 * Quick guide – a "cheatsheet" listing the main editing commands.
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to create your first article
 * Tutorial
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~&#126;); this will automatically produce your name and a timestamp. If you need help, check out the Teahouse, ask the Help Desk, or place  on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Once again, welcome! Schazjmd  (talk)  16:15, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Please stop
Hello, most of your edits have been adding barely relevant text with references to recent news articles. They've been undone by me and others. If you continue your current editing pattern, you may be blocked. Graham 87 12:21, 2 July 2023 (UTC) Hello, I did not see your message. English is not my native language, but I will try my best to follow Wikipedia's rules. But according to the reliable sources of Wikipedia, I chose the article, why is it not valid as you say. ( not generally reliable) The article is from Newsweek. What is your advice on this matter? Thank you.

 * I have exactly the same concern that Graham has. Therefore, I have just undone your additions at greenhouse gas emissions by the United States and climate change adaptation. As a general rule of thumb, using a recent news article from the New York Times is not usually the right source for climate change type information. It's also fully behind a paywall which makes it impractical for others to check. EMsmile (talk) 16:08, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Popular99! Your additions to Transgender rights in the United States 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.

'''Just changing a few words to synonyms isn't sufficient. Please read WP:CLOP for an explanation of the problems with "close paraphrasing".'''

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. Schazjmd  (talk)  23:19, 9 July 2023 (UTC)



Hello, I had not seen your message. My native language is not English, but I will try my best to change and comply with Wikipedia's rules. These are the changes that I have applied. What is your suggestion to increase the quality of this text? Thankful.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_rights_in_the_United_States#Sexual_violence

The main text of the article:

"Out of an estimated 1.6 million Americans who are transgender, about 300,000 are under 18. A small number get surgery as part of their transition, but it is much more common for children to transition socially — changing their name, clothing, haircut or other parts" Changed text:

About 300,000 of the 1.6 million transgender people in America who are considered to be under 18 years old. A tiny percentage undergo surgery as part of their transition, but it is much more typical for kids to transition socially, which may involve altering their name, dress, hairdo, or other features Popular99 (talk) 16:01, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * You added that close-paraphrasing to the section on Sexual violence. Please read your text. It has nothing to do with sexual violence. It adds no value to that section. It would not belong there even if it hadn't been a near-verbatim copy-and-paste from the source. That has been a problem with a number of your edits (almost all of which have been reverted). You add content with no regard for context.I understand the difficulties of editing in English when it isn't your native language. But if you are only able to edit in English by copying text or copying-and-making-minor-changes, perhaps you'd find more success if you edited the Wikipedia for your native language?

Blocked
 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text at the bottom of your talk page:. Graham 87 17:14, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

You have continued your disruptive editing pattern. You do not seem to understand what relevance means, which means you lack the competence to edit the English Wikipedia (or probably any Wikipedia language). I didn't get your message on 10 July (UTC) because you initially failed to sign it. Graham 87 17:14, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello, since you didn't see my message above and blocked me before giving me advice, is it possible to give me another chance to learn the method? So that I can change my previous pattern and not repeat the previous mistakes. I would check every single edit with you and otehrs before puting them in the articles.Popular99 (talk) 07:39, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Absolutely not, under any circumstances. If I'd noticed your previous message when you'd actually sent it, I would've blocked you there and then. Graham 87 08:35, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
