Hello Diamondsee! Your additions to Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu 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. 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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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. Nobody (talk) 07:12, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. I had a malfunction in my android and tried to salvage the situation. I promise this won't happen again. Diamondsee (talk) 07:41, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

@Diamondsee No worries, this wasn't meant as a big warning, but more of a reminder that the Copyright police exists. I saw that you removed the copyrighted text. i left you the note since i could't see if you had realised the mistake or removed it for a different reason. There's also the redaction if the copyrighted text which i requested in this case (just FYI, if this happens again). Nobody (talk) 07:53, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

October 2024. Your Activities on Charles Nwodo Jr.

Hi Diamond. Please could you stop moving the Charles Nwodo page? I find it rather disruptive. I believe there are other pages to edit, rather than try to edit pages I have created. I do not want to be mistaken for sock.Royalrumblebee (talk) 11:49, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

i do not see my editing pages you create as abnormal. The pages are for public viewing. We are from the same country and even from the same part of Nigeria, so it's natural that your interests will overlap with mine.

I have noted your advice (warning?) concerning moving pages. Thanks. Diamondsee (talk) 11:55, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
