Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]Hello Gengeros! Your additions to Female bodybuilding have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) 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.
- 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. 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.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
- 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 either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- 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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.
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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:11, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 23
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited National Physique Committee, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page International. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:02, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Gengeros, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Best practices for editors with close associations
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Simplified Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}}
before the question. Again, welcome! Drmies (talk) 22:47, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion
[edit]In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.
I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.
I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. ~~~~ S Philbrick(Talk) 11:09, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello. I've remove the section on Federalism from the article Ann Coulter. Please summarize reliable, independent sources. Primary sources which do not directly mention Ann Coulter by name, such as legal documents, are of limited use for this article. Likewise, Coulter is prolific, and any partiuclar opinion of hers should be contextualized by a reliable source. Not every opinion she has expressed is encyclopedically significant, and the way to decide which belong and which do not is through independent sources. The article's talk page would be the best place to discuss this further. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 01:10, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
[edit] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Female bodybuilding into Ms. International. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:54, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

. — Diannaa (talk) 11:50, 28 June 2024 (UTC)In order to lift the block, we need to be certain that you understand how copyright works on Wikipedia. Please respond to the following questions, explaining in your own words:
- What is copyright?
- How is Wikipedia licenced?
- Why is copyrighted content not allowed on Wikipedia?
- Under what circumstances can we use copyrighted content?
- How do you intend to avoid violating the copyright policy in the future?
Your answers will enable us to establish whether or not you should be unblocked. — Diannaa (talk) 11:52, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Copyright is intellectual property rights that gives the holder the right for distribution and licensing of the copyrighted work.
- Wikipedia is a licensed under Creative Commons, specifically 4.0 of Creative Commons BY-SA license.
- Using copyrighted content without the approval of the copyright holder would lead to legal lawsuits.
- Only those copyright content that can be used is those covered under fair use.
- Yes. Gengeros (talk) 13:56, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Your answer to the first question is okay, but the other answers are incomplete and/or incorrect. — Diannaa (talk) 00:38, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- I misread the last question, thinking it was "Do you intend", instead of "How do".
- Wikipedia text and images are co-licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 and the GFDL Free Documentation License, allowing it to be free to share and alter.
- At the bottom of every Wikipedia page, it is stated that the text is available to use under CC BY-SA 4.0 license. Copyrighted material would violated this.
- Copyright content can be used under circumstances if it meets fair use or if the copyright holder gives permission for usage of the work.
- I intend on avoiding violating the copyright policy by not copying anything.

Ganges shark 2019 sighting source?
[edit]I am one of the recent contributors to the Rare species article, and I am the one that even added the Ganges shark to the list. However, I have questions regarding the validity of the most recent sighting dates for some of the animals on the list. I originally put that Ganges shark was last seen in 2016 with clarification that it was of a dead female sold at a fish market in Mumbai. However, you later edited the Ganges shark table with its last sighting in 2019. I cannot find a reliable source that mentions a sighting of the Ganges shark in 2019. Is this information limited to a specific language, because I cannot find a source in Spanish, my native language or English, my second-best language. Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 17:12, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- It was from Chat GPT 4o, which made a mistake. I asked it again and it said last sighting was 2016. https://www.sharks.org/blog/2020/7/8/found-lost Gengeros (talk) 18:00, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- If you used ChatGPT or any similar AI tool as "sources," you need to correct your additions with valid sources, AI chatbots are not valid or reliable sources of information. I also assume that the August 2024 baiji sighting date before I corrected it to May 14th, 2024, was also from ChatGPT. The entire article needs to have sources and clarification notes for the last known sightings and status of the species. Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 19:59, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
