I am a new user. I have no idea how to use this software. I have spent couple of hours and find all incomprehensible. If there are simple and straightforward jargon free explanations available could someone please post a link to them.

Copying licensed material requires attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Colt Clavier Collection you included material from a webpage that is available under an Open Government Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. 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) 13:38, 17 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

I saw your note at Diannaa's talk page. I don't know that it will solve your particular question, but I often find Help:Wikitext useful. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 03:07, 18 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
