Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Epok in town! Your additions to Tommy Edman 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, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:51, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. We do not add people's ethnicity into the lead. See MOS:ETHNICITY for more info.

I added their nationality due to them having dual citizenship. Epok in town (talk) 19:42, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Almost none of those people are dual citizens, but that's also irrelevant. Citizenship ≠ Nationality. If someone lived their entire life in one country, that's their only nationality. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 20:41, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Nearly all of them are... Epok in town (talk) 21:57, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Also, someone could have a different nationality despite not having had lived in that country. Epok in town (talk) 21:58, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

• had not

Epok in town (talk) 21:58, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

1. No most of them were not. There's not even such a thing as Korean citizenship anymore, yet you added that to Tommy Edman. 2. No, that's not how we classify nationalities here. Read MOS:ETHNICITY to understand how we classify nationalities here. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 22:35, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Okay. for #1, I had to put Korean because of the term Korean-American. Epok in town (talk) 23:37, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

But that's the whole point. We're not supposed to be using those terms in the lead because that's an ethnicity, not a nationality. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 01:02, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Epok in town! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Kaylia Nemour that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. M.Bitton (talk) 01:42, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

I understand. Thanks for letting me know! Epok in town (talk) 01:43, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

I hope that you also understand that deleting sourced content without a valid reason is unacceptable. M.Bitton (talk) 01:44, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Persistent unjustified changes

Just because you blanked your talk page doesn't mean that you can still ignore the request to use the talk pages and seek consensus for your changes. Edit warring to impose your POV with complete disregard for the WP:ONUS policy is not acceptable. M.Bitton (talk) 00:40, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
