Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Rashid.ali, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Libyan Crisis (2011–present) has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of 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) 23:33, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

My edits
The reason I reverted your edits were because they were full of stuff like this:

The international community’s recognition of the HoR and its Tobruk government as Libya’s legitimate ruling entity ignored the law of a sovereign nation and helped entrench Libya’s political sectarianism. By nullifying the road map that included the elections, Libya’s Supreme Court eliminated the domestic legal basis for the existence of the House of Representatives, thus placing the US and Europeans international community in a conundrum: either they reject the verdict as being issued under pressure from the militias now controlling Tripoli while also restating their recognition of the House of Representatives along with Al-Thinni’s government; or they accept the verdict but this eliminated the parliament sitting in Tobruk without clearly reinstating the GNC sitting in Tripoli.

First paragraph is clearly pushing a point of view and is original research. Same with the second one, and the second one cites things said in an interview as fact.

A different example is this:

"The popular uprising against the government of Gaddafi began in February 2011 as non-violent protests, simultaneously with other protests in the Arab Spring. Within weeks, violence broke out in clashes between Gaddafi military officers and protesters."

You changed two things here: January to February, but both of these articles are from January. Another thing is that you changed "police" to "Gaddafi military officers", again, the sources cited mention the first, not the second. They don't mention the revolution, they mention the start of the protests in the form of non-violent protests. I noticed the same in another edit where "Islamist" was changed to "Jihadist", the source only mentioning the first one.

Last one is this:

Different interpretation of Constitutional Declaration about the deadline of General National Congress (GNC) lead to chaos across the country. The GNC's extended its mandate, dividing Libyans, stoking tensions and fears of a political vacuum.

The Alliance of National Forces, a liberal grouping and key political force, had sponsored a number of demonstrations demanding the dissolution of the GNC.

But the Operations Cell of Revolutionaries, an Islamist militia of ex-rebels said to be close to the army, had lined up behind the GNC, and the powerful armed groups from Libya's third city Misrata called the body "a red line."

Rival former rebels from Zintan, an influential force in post-Gaddafi Libya, vowed to protect any popular movement that goes against the GNC.

Mufti Sadek al-Ghariani, Libya's top religious authority, has defended "the legitimacy of the GNC" and warned against chaos in the country.

No sources for any of this, so this violates WP:V, it's also the kind of excessive detail which should be avoided.

In a different edit, I noticed that sourced info seemed to get lost in your re-arranging of paragraphs, like this piece: "He has also issued fatwas restricting women's rights."

Those are the things I saw across your edits -- WP:V, WP:NPOV, and WP:OR problems, the worst one being the POV-pushing. Eik Corell (talk) 10:49, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Please don't copy material you find elsewhere
Hello. I am Diannaa and I am an administrator on this wiki. Prose you find online is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the law and the copyright policy of this website to do so. All prose must be written in your own words. There's more information about copyrights and how it applies to Wikipedia at FAQ/Copyright. Copyright law and its application are complex matters, and you should not edit any more until you have taken the time to read and understand our copyright policy. Further copyright violations will result in you being blocked from editing. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:29, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

 * The edit did not violate the copyright policy. Given it was a senate testimony it was most appropriate to quote the individual directly. Rashid.ali (talk) 04:22, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
