Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the September 11 attacks. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Dateaccessed

Hi. I notice you are using |dateaccessed= when adding citations to articles. This is an unsupported parameter and |access-date= should be used instead. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 18:55, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Antongiuseppe, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Donald Rumsfeld 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. (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. Moneytrees🌴^{Talk🌲Help out at CCI!} 17:04, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

July 2020

Your addition to Donald Rumsfeld 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) 15:21, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Creative Commons Attribution

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added Creative Commons licensed text to Foreign policy of the George W. Bush administration. You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Compatibly-licensed sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you, Moneytrees🌴^{Talk🌲Help out at CCI!} 16:47, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

access-date not dateaccess

This edit is typical of others that you have made that introduced a non-existent parameter |dateaccess= in a cs1|2 template. cs1|2 does not recognize that parameter name:

{{cite web|url=https://www.newamerica.org/international-security/reports/americas-counterterrorism-wars/the-war-in-somalia/|title=The War in Somalia|publisher=www.newamerica.org|dateaccess=July 17, 2020}}

"The War in Somalia". www.newamerica.org. {{cite web}}: Unknown parameter |dateaccess= ignored (help)

So that I and other don't have to follow you around cleaning up the mess, please use the correct parameter names in cs1|2 templates.

Thank you.

—Trappist the monk (talk) 20:04, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. The parameter name is |access-date=; it is not |dateaccess=. As I write this, there are now five articles in Category:Pages with citations using unsupported parameters that you have edited, all of which use the unrecognized parameter. The articles are:

Foreign policy of the George W. Bush administration

Middle Eastern foreign policy of the Barack Obama administration

South Asian foreign policy of the Barack Obama administration

Timeline of the George W. Bush presidency (2006)

Timeline of the George W. Bush presidency (2007)

Additionally, several of them also have citations that show External link in |publisher= error messages. Please fix your errors so that others do not have to cleanup your mess.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Paul Wolfowitz into Donald Rumsfeld. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 20:41, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
