Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Great Famine of 1876–1878 into List of wars and anthropogenic disasters by death toll. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:18, 16 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

List of massacres in the United States (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
added links pointing to Andersonville and Elmira
List of genocides by death toll (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)

  Hello 6ullga, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to List of wars and anthropogenic disasters by death toll 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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • 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 the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 Wikipedia: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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia: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) 16:41, 20 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Holodomor in the Kuban

edit
 

The article Holodomor in the Kuban has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The page is copy and pasted word for word from a another wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copying_text_from_other_sources#How_about_copying_from_one_Wikipedia_article_to_another?

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Discuss on Talk Page and Cite Reliable Source

edit

Your changes to the article List of wars and anthropogenic disasters by death toll have been reverted to a version of a senior user as this is supposed to be a list based on death toll, not time period. Before making such major changes next time (especially relating to article format), please kindly discuss on talk page and wait for approval by senior users. Also most of your additions did not have sources and did not have the formal tone reflected in Wikipedia, as an e.g. for the Crimean war you wrote "Ottoman Empire and allies vs. Russia" the term "vs." is not a formal encyclopedic tone, this is not a sports coverage website and you did not accurately list the then names of the combatants. Always keep in mind to put reliable sources check WP:RS, be formal and consistent with the actual topic of the article (again this is a list based on death tolls, highest to lowest not time period) and discuss on talk page before making major changes especially in regards to article structure. Thank you. Dilbaggg (talk) 21:40, 21 April 2019 (UTC)Reply


  You have been continuing this behavior on other articles as evident from your contribution page and and a number of regular regular users have reverted your edits using Wikipedia:Twinkle , which confirms vandalism. Please stop this or you may be blocked. Dilbaggg (talk) 21:02, 22 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Reported for vandalism

edit

Hello 6ullga. An editor has reported you for vandalism at the WP:AIV board. Can you explain why you should not be blocked? I notice in particular that you have blanked information from a number of articles. For example, you removed relevant information from Pacification of Algeria without discussion. Consider responding.

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Speedy deletion nomination of Largest rapes

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Largest rapes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
