Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to United Arab Emirates, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 14:56, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Technopunch, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Foundation for Defense of Democracies have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of 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 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 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 designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• 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 or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:38, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

You are continuing to add copyright violations to articles.

Your edit of Nov 3rd[1] I've underline the portions of your text that are a violation of our copyright policy. "Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel was a major cause of concern for UAE Ambassador to US, Yousef Al Otaiba and American Diplomat Dennis Ross. Ross is a committed Zionist and pro-Israeli and he was against Qatar's support for Palestine and hence the two collaborated to further influence the White House against Qatari policies, as per leaked emails of UAE Ambassador. Ross further agreed to Emirati opinion of shutting down Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar. A conference in Tunisia by the Arab Centre for Research and Policy Studies, is one example of the sort of event which has provoked the ire of the two men. A separate email in the same thread appears to show Ross excited about Hillary Clinton, presumably because he assumes Clinton would not give the Qataris “a pass”. Ross seemed optimistic about Clinton’s victory and points out eagerly that under the new administration Qatar will “no longer get to have it both ways.” Four days before the UAE and Saudi-led blockade of Qatar began, Ross expressed the same hostility during a Sky Arabia interview. “The Qataris seem to want to have it both ways,” he said, while accusing Doha of supporting extremism and simultaneously keeping close relations with the US."

Fortunately this was quickly deleted, but I had to revision delete it also. Doug Weller talk 11:57, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

This edit[2] was copied from [3].

I'm suspect there's more in your new article, particularly the first version, but I don't have time to check. @Diannaa:, any comments? Doug Weller talk 12:11, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Technopunch, prose you find online is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the law and the copyright policy of this website to do so. All prose must be written in your own words. There's more information about copyrights and how it applies to Wikipedia at Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright. Copyright law and its application are complex matters, and you should not edit any more until you have taken the time to read and understand our copyright policy. Further copyright violations will result in you being blocked from editing. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:32, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback Diannaa.I will keep these things in mind from next time.

Please use edit summaries

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Zazpot (talk) 22:41, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
