Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
 * Copying text from other sources
 * Policy on copyright
 * Frequently asked questions on Wikipedia's copyright policy
 * Policy and guideline on non-free content

If you still have questions, there is the Teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello TexasEx2401! 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. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:39, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

November 2023
Hello TexasEx2401. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Aviva Klompas, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:TexasEx2401. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. '' Your statement at Draft talk:Aviva Klompas is interesting. . Please also explain "we".'' 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:03, 13 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello,
 * I am a former colleague of Aviva's who is helping create her Wikipedia page. I have no personal interest in the page aside from knowing Aviva, which is why I used the pronoun "we" because I am in contact with her and able to reach out to her if needed. Let me be clear that I do not expect financial compensation from making this page. I apologize for not using the citations correctly and plagiarizing material. I had taken copy from her biography to use for this page, but I realize now that this action goes against your rules, so I am working on rewriting her biography to comply with your rules. Any copy cited from other websites will be quoted and cited from this point forward. Regarding the images used, they are all free for public use. Lastly, I did not copy from other Wikipedia pages -- I only linked them when it seemed necessary. Please let me know if you have any further questions and/or concerns. I will refrain from editing the page until we have everything sorted. TexasEx2401 (talk) 18:36, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, my reason for creating the page is that Aviva does not have one, so it felt necessary to add her to this search engine. TexasEx2401 (talk) 18:39, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. You have answered fully. Please continue to edit and create the article.
 * To help you, please read WP:REFB and WP:CITE. They will be of major use as you read my next paragraph.
 * For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.
 * Finally, please read this essay before you start writing a thing. It describes the process of creating a new article. It's a little counter intuitive. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 18:58, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The images are handled on Wikimedia Commons. Very strict upload conditions. c:COM:VRT will help you with those. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 19:05, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It looks like my page has been deleted. Is there a way to restore it? TexasEx2401 (talk) 20:21, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello, I made a new article. Is someone able to check the formatting so that it can be published, please? TexasEx2401 (talk) 15:02, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Aviva Klompas moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to Aviva Klompas. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability, it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and you may have a possible Conflict of Interest. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Wikishovel (talk) 16:48, 6 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I will work on rectifying these errors. I appreciate your response. TexasEx2401 (talk) 17:35, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
