Hello HQEditor, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Al-Fatiha 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 a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Wikipedia: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.
  • 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 without attribution. If you want to copy 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. Dougweller (talk) 17:53, 5 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Dougweller for the detailed guidance! Although I read a few guidelines of how to edit WP, I had completely missed that we cannot copy-paste :). It'd take some time to get used to editing WP.
I've tried to follow the guidelines this time and added back the material in Al Fatiha, only this time its para-phrased rather than copy-paste. I've not restored material that was not appropriately cited or had other problems. HQEditor (talk) 15:27, 7 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
That's fine. We have a pretty strict policy on copyvio although it is not easy to keep on top of it, and I am regularly (well, almost monthly) running across editors who have been violating it for years. Dougweller (talk) 17:26, 7 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Also reverted you here. I can see that you are trying very hard to be a good editor, but you need to be more careful - I've given you details above. By the way, user Followerofquran hasn't edited for over a year. The copyvio is still in your sandbox. Let me know if you want any advice or help. Dougweller (talk) 18:23, 5 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Salam TheAafi! BRecorder is a reputed news outlet, and the article referred to is mainly covering the subject (Zahid Saeed) and not just mentioning him as a passing remark, right? Please guide if that's not the case, pls guide with an example as to which article would be considered to have met above criterion and which not... Thanks!
