I have rolled back your edits to Discovery Channel (Australia and New Zealand) because they are directly copied from a copyrighted web page. See Wikipedia:Copyright Problems and Help:Contents.

Helpful information about editing Wikipedia can be found on various Wikipedia guideline and policy pages including: Help:Getting started; Wikipedia:Introduction; Wikipedia:Simplified ruleset; Wikipedia:Simplified Manual of Style; Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners; Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources; Wikipedia:Citing sources; Help:Footnotes; Wikipedia:Verifiability; Wikipedia:No original research; Wikipedia:Neutral point of view; Wikipedia:Notability; Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons; Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not; Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch; Help:Introduction to talk pages; Wikipedia:Copyright Problems and Help:Contents. Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 05:11, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have also rolled back your edits to Animal Planet (Australia and New Zealand) for the same reason. Donner60 (talk) 05:23, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the following response to your question on my talk page. I am including it here as well in order to have the various links to Wikipedia policies and guidelines all on this page. "Your edits added content descriptions for programs word for word from Discovery channel web pages which clearly state they are copyrighted. Wikipedia:Copyright violations, Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources. If the additions were not copyrighted, they would constitute plagiarism and advertising or promotion in their current form. Wikipedia:Plagiarism, Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion. See also Wikipedia:Conflict of interest." Donner60 (talk) 06:14, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback is an all or nothing tool so I can not undo only parts of it. You can see all of your edits in the view history tab at the top of the page and go through each prior version of the article page by page. You can copy and paste to a document any that you do not have that you wish to recover. Non-copyrighted material can be restored individually if that does not violate any of the other guidelines mentioned. Please note Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Citing sources and Help:Footnotes for guidelines on whether sources should be cited. Donner60 (talk) 06:59, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:10, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
