editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Draft:White Nights (2003 film), may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
- Copying text from other sources
- Policy on copyright

- Policy and guideline on non-free content
If you still have questions, there is the Teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

- Hello. Thanks for pointing it out, I didn't know it was from another source, I just translated it from the plot part in Persian Wikipedia, and there wasn't any reference at the end and I think that the website that you mentioned also copied and translated its description from the Persian Wikipedia. All right, the next time I'll cite the source at the end. Thank you and have a nice day.

- It's okay to copy/translate from another Wikipedia, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. Diannaa (talk) 22:18, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- Sure ma'am. I always add attribution when I edit in the Persian Wikipedia, but I forgot this time in here.
