Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Ralphroug, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to American Coalition of Life Activists has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * 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 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 designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 can, but please follow the steps in 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) 23:26, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Attribution for copying within Wikipedia
Please see WP:Copying within Wikipedia for detailed instructions for how to properly copy text from one Wikipedia article to another. Essentially, attribution is supplied in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. Thanks!

Pasteurization
I have reverted your edits on Pasteurization because they appeared to be based on a false understanding. Microbes is a general term that encompasses all small organisms from protozoa through to phages but including bacteria. A pathogen may be any one of these classes of organisms plus some which are not microbes. So to say that is false. Pathogens may BE bacteria and may be other classes of microbes. I have also reverted the addition of fermentation as that is wholly separate and different from pasteurization.  Velella  Velella Talk 13:50, 19 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Numerous "novel" forms of pasteurization are NOT pasteurization but are relevant as forms of preservation. Pasteurization specifically uses heat to preserve organic materials, whether for food or other uses. Fermentation is an important form of preservation to be included with the other "novel" forms of preservation that also do not utilize heat. It makes more sense to me to add a line about fermentation to tip the readers and extend the concept of food preservation rather than to remove the "novel" non-pasteurization treatments. What is more useful to the reader, include fermentation or remove the other "novel" non pasteurization methods of preservation methods? Trade places with the audience, would they rather be informed about fermentation or be ignorant of all the "novel" non pasteurization methods? 2603:8001:9802:8915:1DDF:B8E2:64A6:6A8F (talk) 07:24, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Rather than reverting you could have corrected my correction, as food spoilage is not limited to bacteria as the article stated. 2603:8001:9802:8915:1DDF:B8E2:64A6:6A8F (talk) 07:26, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
