Copyright violations

Hi. I reverted your edit to British Airways as it was a verbatim use of the source you referenced. I've looked at other recent edits of yours - and the seem to be similar.

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.

Can you please ~~removed~~ paraphrase other such edits? Mark83 (talk) 21:01, 2 January 2021 (UTC). Edited Mark83 (talk) 10:27, 3 January 2021 (UTC)10:27, 2 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Just a thought on this - your edits are valuable and well referenced. You just need to paraphrase the text. This is both to avoid copyright violations, but also because some of the language is not appropriate for Wikipedia's style and NPOV. For example Reuters' language in the Softbank article is not appropriate for Wikipedia -- "blockbuster stock market debut". To be honest I can't believe they released that under their own name, but that's not our problem :) Mark83 (talk) 10:22, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I completely missed this, and you are absolutely right in every remark. I'm working on improving my style, and I am sorry about the copyright issue. Will not fall for Reuters headlines next time ;) DarkMatters (talk) 23:36, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

One of your recent edits 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.

Warning

Hi. Despite my messages above you have today violated the copyright of Reuters. Unfortunately if you persist you will be blocked from editing without further messages or warnings. I can tell you are trying to improve Wikipedia - you are adding relevant information and citing it really well. However you cannot go on using verbatim text from copyrighted sources. Please get in touch with me if you have any queries. Mark83 (talk) 17:05, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I will ensure this is not repeated in the future. DarkMatters (talk) 23:28, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sandrine atallah moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sandrine atallah, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

What’s more suitable than the bank audit and yearly report? DarkMatters (talk) 19:52, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

independent reliable sources that aren't from the bank or government. CUPIDICAE💕 20:04, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification, I will try to research and add those, however I checked other banks List_of_banks_in_Lebanon and the majority have similar limited content and sources so I would appreciate if you can point out to something specific that you felt need better citations as the current article is very limited and doesn’t have a lot of information.

Speedy deletion nomination of Muhammad Bashar Kiwan

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Muhammad Bashar Kiwan, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Your submission at Articles for creation: MEAB bank (March 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Praxidicae were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:MEAB bank and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:MEAB bank, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

Orphaned non-free image File:MEAB bank logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:MEAB bank logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:35, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable non-free use File:Muhammad Bashar Kiwan.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Muhammad Bashar Kiwan.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
