Hello, I'm John "Hannibal" Smith. I noticed that in this edit to Legality of euthanasia, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Hannibal Smith ❯❯❯ 07:32, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for taking an interest in our article on lift-induced drag. You made some changes to introduce different wording in the caption of one of the images. Your edit summary said you introduced "correct wording". In fact, the original wording was correct, according to the cited sources so I have reverted the article to the original wording.

• You changed free stream to "free airflow". Free stream is a common expression in fluid dynamics. It doesn't only apply to airflow (aerodynamics); it is also used in connection with the flow of liquids (hydrodynamics). Free stream refers to the flow speed and direction a great distance from the object under examination.
• You changed angle of attack to "angle of incidence". Your expression used to be commonly used in British literature but the American angle of attack is now more commonly used and is used throughout this Wikipedia article (8 times).
• You changed induced drag to "drag". The force component in question is just the induced component of drag. It is true that total drag is parallel to the relative flow, but in this diagram the force component is only the induced component of total drag.

Please continue to work on our articles on aerodynamics! Regards. Dolphin (t) 06:32, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello 108.171.134.163, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Rip Curl 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) 12:12, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
