Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]
Hello ArmanMia828, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Rohingya flag 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. 💵Money💵emoji💵Talk💸Help out at CCI! 14:58, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
Arakanese
[edit]Hi. I don't have a particularly strong opinion here, but as far as I can see the word "Arakanese" in English normally refers to the Rakhine language. In no way does this imply that the Rakhine are the only ethnic group in Arakan, it's just how things are called. See for example the Indonesian language: it is only one among a very large number of languages of Indonesia; calling this language "Indonesian" is not part of any sort of ethnic hegemony conspiracy.
Yes, grave injustices have been committed against some language groups in Arakan, but our job here on wikipedia is to describe and document them (using sources), not to attempt to redress them by redefining the meaning of English words like "Arakanese". I'm not saying that we shouldn't attempt to do that in real life: if anything, I'd be in favour of switching over to "Rakhine" when writing outside of wikipedia. But we can't do that on wikipedia: the encyclopedia simply follows usage in sources, it shouldn't attempt to spearhead changes.
If you would like to rename the Arakanese language article, you should propose it for discussion, you can't just copy and paste its contents to the new title (that's bad for a number of reasons). For how to propose a renaming, see WP:RM#CM. Thanks! – Uanfala (talk) 22:32, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- OK, so you've ignored all the advice you've received and continued to make a mess of Arakanese language and the related articles. I'm afraid I don't have much more to say. – Uanfala (talk) 01:43, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. – Uanfala (talk) 01:43, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Ways to improve Rohingya Language Academy
[edit]Hello, ArmanMia828,
Thank you for creating Rohingya Language Academy.
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
Thank you for your new article on Rohingya Language Academy, but most of the sources used are currently non-functional and were associated with the academy itself anyway. Please use more reliable sources to verify that the academy is notable. For pointers, follow the links in the notice at the top of the page.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Doomsdayer520}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.
Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
