User talk:Setenlyacc

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Dougweller (talk) 13:01, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Persian people, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Hello Setenlyacc, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Lurs 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 a cited source. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also 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.
 * 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 without attribution. If you want to copy 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. Dougweller (talk) 18:42, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Misrepresentation of source
You copied material directly from. Part of this page says "The Lur may have migrated from Syria into the western Zagros Mountains       some time after the Arab invasion of Iran in the seventh century                   A                .                  D                . Another theory suggests that the Lur were indigenous nomadic herders" which you changed to "The Lurs were probably indigenous nomadic herders" which is not what the source says. The source also fails WP:RS and should not be used. You also deleted sourced text with no explanation and even cut bits out of a reference. Please try to use WP:Edit summaries in the future to explain your edits. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 18:45, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Persian people
I note that another editor has reverted you at this article with an edit summary saying "unexplained removal of sourced content." This is always a bad idea, you need to explain why you have removed it. Disagreeing with it is not a good reason, see WP:VERIFY and WP:NPOV. You're new and there is a learning curve, but you do need to read up on some of our policies and guidelines. Dougweller (talk) 18:48, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Last warning
In order to protect Wikipedia from copyright violations, I will have to block you if you continue to ignore my warning above and insert copyvio into our articles. This refers to your replacement of the copyright material I removed at Lurs. Dougweller (talk) 05:45, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Your question on my talk page
You ask what is the problem. I've explained it all above, if you don't understand the explanation then you need to say what you don't understand. Dougweller (talk) 07:58, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The point isn't whether or not you have violated any laws. You've violated one of our core policies, you were warned about it with links to read, and you did it again knowing that it was against our policy. Do it again and you will be blocked until you show you understand our policy and agree to abide by it. This is the routine way that we treat continued copyvio violations. Dougweller (talk) 13:13, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

More copyvio found
This is from before your warning, but you clearly didn't go back and remove it.. Dougweller (talk) 06:56, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see it was removed with an edit summary saying it was copyvio and you've just restored it. As I said I would do, I am blocking you. Dougweller (talk) 07:02, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

September 2013
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without verifying permission. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted.

Please take this opportunity to be sure you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Dougweller (talk) 07:05, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Setenlyacc, I reviewed the articles you mentioned in your post to me, and I agree with Dougweller. You have posted copyrighted text and pictures, and when other users have removed them, you have reposted them without any discussion on the articles' talk pages. Edit warring is not an effective way of contributing to Wikipedia. 09:57, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
