Wikipedia and copyright
Hello SereneNecrosis! Your additions to Ethnicity 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. DanCherek (talk) 11:49, 5 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I will try again to include the content using direct quotations in the proper format, and paraphrase to avoid copyright violation.
 * However, I will note here that much of the content removed from my edits were cited perfectly and only included short exerpts from the source texts, most of which are in the public domain.
 * Furthermore, the content currently in the article paints a catagorically false depiction of common understandings of Ethnicity in comparison to Race. Racial classifications are wholesale rejected from the field of Anthropology, and seen broadly as Pseudo-Scientific nonsensical taxinomy.
 * The only relevance of "Race" in the context of Ethnicity is in recording the legal and social effects of the wrong understanding of human biology and historical origin, and the Ethnic Cleansing that unscientific notions "Race" was used to justify. It's not called "Racial Cleansing" because race is not scientifically real, aside from the negative impacts of the assumption that it is real, on very real Ethnicities. We don't teach Eugenics, as though it were fact, in schools, Racial Taxonomy had been debunked, it's effects are called "Ethnic Cleansing," not "Racial Cleansing."
 * But to read this Wikipedia article, one would believe that "Race" is still used scientifically to describe what (in actuality) is defined by Ethnicity and Nationality!
 * It is not appropriate for misinformation based in an insidious pro-racist agenda to be spread on a public resource website.
 * I also find it deeply inappropriate, and frankly shocking, that instead of helping cite the sources properly for a new editor, you would choose to delete all my edits wholesale, and then openly threaten me with permanently barring my access to edit, especially when the information that I am adding is essential to the understanding of the subject. I sincerely hope that you do not have some kind of personal agenda in regards to this page that extends beyond the bounds of protecting copyright. SereneNecrosis (talk) 22:16, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:AGF. As explained, we take copyright violations very seriously and it is standard practice to block someone if they ignore copyright. That's not aimed at you specifically, it's something we tell everyone who breaches copyright laws and it's meant to help them avoid being blocked. Doug Weller  talk 12:42, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Eugenicist Cliques, anti-DOS, anti-Mental-Health
Wikipedia Claims to be an encyclopedia. Some might say, it's a club for Eugenicists that bullies people of color and the disabled for trying to improve pages directly relevant to their experiences in society. SereneNecrosis (talk) 02:23, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Noting that I removed talk page access, as this unblock request did not come close to addressing the concerns and continued BATTLEGROUND concerns (Ingenuity beat me to declining the request.) Z1720 (talk) 01:36, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
