Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Sincerely, Jax 0677 (talk) 13:42, 26 September 2013 (UTC) (Leave me a message)

I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. There are two reasons why you should not edit while logged out: 1) doing so will reveal your IP address; and 2) people may accuse you of sockpuppetry, i.e. trying to make yourself look like multiple users in order to gain the upper hand in a dispute. If this was not your intention, then please always remember to log in when editing. Thank you. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:46, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

- Hi gain. I notice that you reverted 8 lines of links. I only did this because the article is on list of 'too many wikilinks'. Banner at top of article explains the issues with the article. Whilst I was trying to offer help, I saw no comment there/here/my talk page. I understand that you feel reporting my actions is reasonable, no hard feelings on that. I will however withdraw my offer for future help on the article.Good luck with finishing the work.--Andrea edits (talk) 06:11, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Copyright
editHi, Ansegam, and welcome to Wikipedia. :) User:Cirt asked me to take a look at your question, and I just wanted to speak to you about our copyright policies.
It is, indeed, possible to infringe copyright without knowing it - copyright infringement isn't a matter of intention, and copyright can be infringed even if you mean no harm. I am not a lawyer and am not able to give you legal advice, but I have volunteered in copyright work on Wikipedia for some time and I have some experience with it outside of Wikipedia.
As a general rule of thumb, under the U.S. law that governs Wikipedia, you may infringe copyright if you substantially use somebody else's intellectual property in a manner that is not "excused", as by fair use. Users who do not live in the United States are bound to follow U.S. copyright law by our Terms of Use and local copyright policy, but they are also subject to the laws of the area where they live. For instance, a user from Germany once uploaded some copyrighted pictures to Wikipedia under our "non-free content policy and guideline", but he wrote me telling me that he had gotten into trouble with the owner of those pictures, who was also German, because that use was not legal where they lived. For your own safety, it's a good idea to review the copyright laws in your own country to be sure that what you do here is legal there. We do have some articles on copyright laws in various countries (for instance, Copyright law of Germany), but we can't guarantee that they're accurate. They may make a good starting point, but I would check out the sources they cite as well.
In terms of infringing on copyright policy on Wikipedia, these are the basic principles to follow:
- If you copy anything from your source, you should put it in quotation marks and cite it. (This is a good general rule of thumb to follow even if the content isn't under copyright, although there are other ways to work with that - see Wikipedia:Plagiarism)
- You shouldn't quote too much from your source. Quotations should be minimal and should serve some purpose, not just to borrow their words to tell us the information. For instance, a quotation can show somebody's specific point of view of something. If you just want to tell us the information, you should almost always put it in your own words in a good paraphrase.
- Good paraphrase is not always easy. :) Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing discusses how to achieve it.
I recommend reading Wikipedia:Copy-paste and the policies and guidelines it links to.
Glancing at Systems of social stratification, I can see the concern. It looks like you have connected together a lot of quotations with not a lot of material to support it. I would recommend you go into that article as soon as possible and convert most of that to paraphrase, using direct quotations only occasionally when the exact words of the author are important. It is not "original research" to paraphrase what other people have said, as long as you stick to their meanings (not their words!) and don't try t make it mean something new.
In terms of your other articles, please review them to see if you have always marked the content you copied and if that copied content conforms to what you see at Wikipedia:Copy-paste and the linked documents. Please consider whether any paraphrasing you have already done meets Wikipedia:Plagiarism and Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.
If you do this - and clean up anything that doesn't conform - you should be conforming with policy, which is intended to keep you compliant at least with U.S. law. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:13, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks very much, Moonriddengirl, much appreciated, — Cirt (talk) 15:46, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Moonriddengirl! I reviewed my article "Systems of social stratification" and I found that most of the content I paraphrased was available for free in the Internet -I mean, those works were publicly available for those who wished to read them. I also paraphrased books which were not free; however, I paraphrased those passages that could be read in Google Views of those books, so I think I didn`t publish anything unfree. The only exception are two short sentences from an study made by Adam Kuper about the Sotho people, and of course I marked the two short sentences I was paraphrasing. I hope this means I am not infring any copyright. Thank you very much for your help. :)
- Hello, Ansegam. I'm afraid that it is a common misunderstanding that because something is found on the internet, it is public domain. This is not true - under the U.S. law that governs us, all content is copyrighted immediately upon creation and remains that way until copyright expires (usually 70 years after the author dies) unless it is ineligible. We can use content that is ineligible, like content that is published by the U.S. government (although not all government content is ineligible) or that has been explicitly licensed or released for use by its authors. The vast quantity of what you find on the internet does not count.
- Being free of charge is a very different thing from being free of copyright! For instance, Wikipedia itself is free of charge, but it is not free of copyright. People are allowed to copy things from Wikipedia, but only if they meet the terms of the license. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:17, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Historical inheritance systems
editMy edits to Historical inheritance systems were an appropriate and much needed improvment to the article. I was addressing concerns made on the article itself (with templates) and on the talk page. I explained my edits on the article talk page and I would appriciate if you would discuss any problems you have with them there rather than blindly revering everyone who made any edit since you did. This behaviour looks a lot like WP:OWN to me, so you should be careful to explain yourself and gain consensus rather than forcing your version. Sarahj2107 (talk) 08:06, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
- I invested much time and effort writing this article for free, perhaps if you could understand that you wouldn't vandalize my article. It is you the one who is blind, for you destroy my article without realising how rude it is to ruin someone else's hard work and how will that person feel about it. If you are looking for a simpler article, perhaps you should go somewhere else. It is my intention to heighten the intellectual level of people, not to adapt to their intelectual mediocrity. Mentally challenged people like you destroy the world by making everything "user-friendly", thus destroying culture and wisdom and turning all people into fools who can hardy think and learn. I won't let you vandalize my article anymore; I have copies of this article and I will superimpose them over your edits if you make many modifications. I hope everything is clear to you now. Ansegam (talk) 20:49, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
- It can take considerable experience to become used to Wikipedia, but in general it is not appropriate to talk about other editors vandalizing an article, and it is never appropriate to refer to "my" article (see WP:OWN). At Wikipedia, vandalism is defined as obvious and intentional damage such as inserting nonsense, and that term must never be used in regard to someone's editing in ways that are not covered by the vandalism definition.
- Claiming another editor is vandalizing an article (when it's not vandalism) is regarded as a personal attack, and that is a serious problem. The other insults in your above comment are completely unacceptable and must not be repeated—imagine how Wikipedia would look if we all abused people we disagreed with. Please review the "serious problem" link because it is a policy that editors must be civil, and sanctions may apply.
- Thanks for your hard work on the articles, but any experienced editor can confirm that they are not in a form that is suitable for Wikipedia—the fact that there is far too much detail is just one problem. You may be able to find another website where the material can be used in its full form, and with your preferred text, but I'm afraid that the articles Historical inheritance systems and Systems of inheritance among various peoples and Systems of social stratification) will be significantly changed, and it would be best to ask questions on the article talk pages (or at WP:HELPDESK) in order to understand the standard procedures that apply on Wikipedia.
- I indented your comment by putting a colon in front of it, and I put two colons before my comment. Johnuniq (talk) 10:31, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is WP:OWN_and_Persoal_attacks_from_User:Ansegam. Thank you. Sarahj2107 (talk) 09:58, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

edit
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Historical inheritance systems. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Bishonen | talk 20:44, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
I understand that you spent much time and effort in contributing to Historical inheritance systems.Thank you for your hard work. However, please be aware that you do not own the article. "Work submitted to Wikipedia can be edited, used, and redistributed—by anyone". Please familiarise yourself with Wikipedia policies and guidelines especially WP:OWN. By repeatedly reverting edits without any discussions or reaching a consensus on the talk page, you are engaging in unnecessary edit wars . You even reverted a typo fix. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. Other editors are just trying to help you. I strongly suggest you be open to suggestions on improving the article and not be hostile. NQ (talk) 02:30, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
I have left a comment in the article's talk page speaking about this issue. I want to edit the article myself. Since I wrote the whole article, I want to be the one to make the modifications the article needs.Ansegam (talk) 03:44, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
- That's neither:
- a) possible
- b) plausible
- c) based on the rules you agreed to
