August 2016

Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Asrat Woldeyes. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Abel Gebremariam, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Addis Mercato 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 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 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 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 Wikipedia: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 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 can, but please follow the steps in 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) 17:51, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

Warning: Repeated Copyvio

@Abel Gebremariam: I have reverted your edits because [1] you did not provide sources, and [2] it was also flagged by wiki tool for detecting copyvio. Your source of WP:Copyvio identified by the tool is Encyclopedia of World Cultures, Copyrighted 1996. The rapidly added text by you seems like a cut and paste from this website. This is inappropriate. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 14:41, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

@Diannaa: do we need to admin strike out the edits in Amhara people? FWIW, you have already cautioned this editor above on copyvio. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 14:41, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

ANI for persistent copyvio

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 15:40, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

• Please respond at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Persistent_copyvio_by_.40Abel_Gebremariam. If there are any further edits by you that introduce copyright violations, you will likely be blocked from editing. --Hammersoft (talk) 16:21, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Request reason:

this is my account and i have been auto blocked. Could you unblock me

Decline reason:

You have not been autoblocked, you've been blocked directly. If you wish to be unblocked, you'll need to account for this and this, which appear to be straight-forward vandalism and lead the blocking admin to be concerned your account was compromised. See WP:COMPROMISED. Yamla (talk) 11:12, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
