Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Li Jiancheng, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. O1lI0 (talk) 08:25, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm trying to update the history of this part based on the research findings and historical books. This page has too many errors and incorrect information.

Please use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Li_Jiancheng to explain the details. O1lI0 (talk) 08:36, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That was "travelled" changed to "traveled", which showed up on my Grammarly auto spelling correct software. Sorry.Elainr (talk) 15:57, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Li Jiancheng. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please read the URL provided by me.It is not wrong spelling but you do not understand.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Elainr, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Li Jiancheng have been removed, as they appear 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 sources to avoid copyright and 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 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 10:59, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm new here. But that part was actually from "Encyclopedia of China" as I put the reference in the end. I think that website cited the same thing. Will be more careful later. Thanks for the information. I do need a lot of help with the content who knows this part of history. This page has been there for a while, and people trusted wikipedia, cited it and passed on the wrong information. Elainr (talk) 16:15, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the wiki"Emperor Taizong of Tang" page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Taizong_of_Tang), has the exact same content as the one published on World Heritage Encyclopedia (http://www.worldlibrary.org/articles/emperor_taizong_of_tang). It seems that the article was originally published on World Heritage Encyclopedia, as reviewed by multiple people and officially published. Do you share information with World Heritage Encyclopedia? Thank you.Elainr (talk) 16:15, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the "World Heritage Encyclopedia" is a mirror of our content. They provide attribution back to us in their article (see the "Help to improve this article, make contributions at the Citational Source" link at the bottom of their page). Kuru (talk) 11:41, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
