Hi, CannotFindAName. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

February 2016

Hello, I'm Doug Weller. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Racism without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I have restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello CannotFindAName, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Black supremacy 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. clpo13_(talk) 23:22, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Battleground and NPA

In addition to the copyright violation warning above, don't accuse editors of being "activist editors" like you did in this edit. You were reverted because may not copy-paste non-free material into Wikipedia. Further, articles are not a battleground nor is it a place to assume editors' motives or make personal attacks as you did in this edit. EvergreenFir (talk) 23:25, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PS, you are at 3 reverts in the last 24 hours on Black supremacy. Please see WP:3RR regarding the "3 revert rule". Another revert within a 24 hour period may result in a block. EvergreenFir (talk) 23:33, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
