Deleted article

Hi! It looks like RHaworth moved your draft to Draft:Humanitarian violence, as the article wasn't ready just yet. You have a start here, however the draft isn't ready to be an article because it needs more sourcing to show where this is a notable topic. You also need to make sure that you write your draft as neutrally as possible. The draft you have here looks to be written with a definite viewpoint on the concept of humanitarian violence, specifically that it's terrible. While I doubt that many would argue that it isn't, articles need to be written in a neutral manner even if the topic is distasteful or abhorrent. This can honestly be difficult to do with some topics, so if you need any help don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:50, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright and sanctions

Hi! I received a notification that you had edited settler colonialism, which is currently held under sanctions because it's related to a larger, more controversial topic (Arab–Israeli conflict). What this means is that you must be very careful with your edits - all content needs to be written in a neutral fashion and be properly sourced. I was a little concerned about the use of the picture that stated "this is what settler colonialism removed", as this could be seen as a bit pointed. A better statement would be something like "Settler colonialism often resulted in the mass exodus of an indigenous population, such as Native Americans.", as this is more neutral and gives more of an explanation.

However what I'm more concerned about was that the sentence "The permanent movement and reproduction of communities and the domiance of an exogenous agency over an indigenous one are necessarily involved", as this proved to have been taken from another source like this one. It looks like you cited this, however this would still be considered a copyright or plagiarism issue even with the source material as a citation. I would like for you to go over the plagiarism and copyright module before progressing further, thanks. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:49, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Forbiddenanalysis, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Draft:Humanitarian violence have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 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) 14:06, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not copy any more material from other sources. This is seen as a copyright violation even if you cite the source or the source's copyright isn't easily seen, as all work is considered to be held under a copyright that would not allow its use on Wikipedia. This is the second time that you've done this, so I must warn you that if you continue to do this, you could end up getting blocked from editing. I know that it's the end of the course, but I would be remiss if I did not give you this warning. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:18, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
