Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Khuongduy.dinh, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Rules of origin have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 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 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. (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 the 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.
• 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 the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:16, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Your addition to Free-trade area has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:46, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa. Many thanks and I will be careful next time when editing.Khuongduy.dinh (talk) 07:45, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Japan–Thailand Economic Partnership Agreement. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. You have added the same spam to numerous pages. Please remove it now.

Add sources on international databases on FTAs and Rules of origin freely provided by United Nations agencies. It helps users gain more information and get benefits from the trade agreements. Please do not delete.--Khuongduy.dinh (talk) 16:50, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. I reverted one of your edits to the Southern African Development Community because business tools for doing trade with the SADC do not belong in the encyclopaedic entry for that organisation. We do not promote the subjects of our coverage, we only describe what they are. --Best regards, Pgallert (talk) 09:48, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Japan–Thailand Economic Partnership Agreement. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. David Biddulph (talk) 09:51, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Dear editors, I understand the problem. Indeed, what I added were links to a free-access database jointly developed by United Nations agencies. This is the largest database on trade agreements and rules of origin developed by International Trade Centre, World Trade Organization and World Customs Organization. I think the external links are useful for information purpose because they help users to learn more about the trade agreement described in an article, for instance Japan-Thailand Economic Partnership Agreement. However, as my act is considered as spam, I promise that I will not repeat it, and will edit information in a more responsible way. However, I do hope that the joint effort of United Nations agencies to bring transparency and better trade information to nations and businesses will be supported by Wikipedia.--Khuongduy.dinh (talk) 09:43, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

@Khuongduy.dinh: I reverted most, if not all of your edits earlier as the way that the text was structured is simply WP:PROMO. Your recent edit to African Continental Free Trade Agreement is more amenable to me. However, I had reduced the text further to reduce the promotional tone. robertsky (talk) 18:14, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

@Robertsky: Thank you for your understanding, I will follow your style in this example. Indeed, it was also my negligence because I did not add the link specific to each agreement, but only a general link to the database. From now, I will add the link specific to the agreement at hand. However, do you have any advice so that my edit will not be reversed by other editors who have not read this discussion?--Khuongduy.dinh (talk) 18:35, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

relevant edit comments; take it up in the articles' talk pages are some ways to get consensus among the articles' editors. however, don't expect to have all the articles to have it as an external link. robertsky (talk) 18:57, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Allow me to chip in as well: I think this edit of Robertsky brought the entry into an acceptable wording, although I would still remove the "free" as not very relevant. However, before adding a comparable entry to existing pages, please consider the relevance on a case-by-case basis. For instance, I think it still does not belong into Southern African Development Community because that entity is not predominantly defined by its trade. On the other hand, Southern African Customs Union is about trade only, and could have such an entry. On a more general note, you are running what we call a Single-purpose account, and that means that your motivation to edit Wikipedia fundamentally clashes with the motivations of most editors here. Please try to ask yourself "Does this edit improve this encyclopedia" before you hit the Save button. Cheers, Pgallert (talk) 07:51, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

@Pgallert: Thank you very much for your comments. You are right in your examples on Southern African Development Community. I will try my best, and be very careful.--Khuongduy.dinh (talk) 10:28, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
