Hello, I'm Justlettersandnumbers. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, University of Bergamo, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:45, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
good morning, sorry for this, I am a student and i am still learning, this is a homework for my university. so i am not intentioned in doing something bad
I translated from italian and so i used the same source, is this a mistake?
- Aliuni1998, you did nothing bad, just didn't understand what is expected here. The content I removed had no citations at all, so there was no way to verify that it was in fact based on any source. Your course instructor should have explained this to you in detail before asking you to make edits here, please ask him/her to do so now. A question: why are you and your classmates trying to edit the English Wikipedia? Wouldn't it be much easier all round for you to improve the Italian one instead?

Justlettersandnumbers (talk) we could choice what we wanted to do, our professor is really nice and explains us really well. so we're free but considering that i am graduated in languages, I wanted to do a translation. now I have just corrected what I did wrong. in my opinion I translated the sources (for example books) and I couldn't have done it, so this was (for me) my mistake. concerning that I just did a translation, is it ok if i verify the reliability of the sources and i don't translate them? concerning citations: i just copied and verified of course, the link in italian as i translated from italian. thanks Justlettersandnumbers (talk) i would be really thanks if You could tell me if doing so (so after checking the reliability of italian sources, I didn't translate them) I did right thanks
- You added a load of unencyclopaedic content with not one single citation. Content you add to Wikipedia needs to be properly and adequately sourced; it is not OK to add some unsourced stuff you found somewhere else on the internet, even if that somewhere else is Italian Wikipedia. Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source. In case you have not understood this, the citations are the little numbers in square brackets that lead to the references, the descriptions of the sources which support the material. When you see at Accademia Carrara this: "An academy of fine arts was added to it in 1793[1] or 1794,[2]: 293 initially under the direction of the Milanese painter Carlo Dionigi Sadis.[1]", those little numbers are the citations; they lead to the references, which for that sentence are these:
- ^ a b Francesco Rossi (1977) Carrara, Giacomo (in Italian). Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani, volume 20. Roma: Istituto dell'Enciclopedia Italiana. Accessed February 2021.
- ^ Giovanna Cassese (2013). Accademie: Patrimoni di Belle Arti (in Italian). Rome: Gangemi Editore. ISBN 9788849276718.
- The citations are placed precisely to show what content they support – in this case, there are two possible dates for the establishment of the scuola di disegno, so we show both dates, each with the citation that supports it. Why don't you try adding one (1) short sentence to that article, with a proper citation to a reliable source? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:53, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
Justlettersandnumbers (talk) thanks for Your help, but if I am translating from wikipedia italian (which has not been deleted) and there I don't have sources, how can I add sources? and why the italian context with my same sources was right? sorry for all the questions but I am trying to do my best. otherwise: if I'd just like to add info taken from book I have at home for example, wouldn't it be much easier? thanks for everything.

Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]
Hello Aliuni1998! Your additions to University of Bergamo have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) 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.
- 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. 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.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
- 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.
- 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. You can't just translate copyright content; everything you write must be in your own words. Thank you.
