Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 12:13, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple problems with your edits

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Persecution of Christians into another page. 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. And do not "sign" your edits by writing "anonymous user" and an IP.

Your edit to Muslim conquest of Spain 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. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. 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. R Prazeres (talk) 17:01, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, a reading of your edits makes it clear that you are adding material exclusively promoting a certain point of view. Please note that Wikipedia has a core policy about maintaining a neutral point of view in its articles; see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Please familiarize yourself with it. Even if material is properly sourced, continuously adding content to imply support for a particular point of view may be a violation of this policy. Thanks, R Prazeres (talk) 17:04, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please also have a look at the previous messages posted on this IP user talk page, which is clearly either you or someone editing very similarly to you. You should be familiar with these issues. R Prazeres (talk) 17:42, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello H20346! Your additions to Christian influences on the Islamic world 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) 12:20, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission.

Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text at the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Ad Orientem (talk) 03:41, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator note If this resumes after your current block expires, your next one is likely to be indefinite. -Ad Orientem (talk) 03:43, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

i swear tried to make that edit in my own words. im sorry. i didnt mean to that. i Put different words and changed the word order I thought that was okay. i dont want to disrupt anything at all im not a troll just want to add information that i find interesting. I'll do better. H20346 (talk) 04:51, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

would it be better if i make an edit but before posting it show it to an administrator or someone else or post it on the talk page to have it reveiwed to see if its okay to be published? H20346 (talk) 04:54, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adding personal views and claims to articles, again

You've been told over and over again to stop adding WP:OR and stop citing primary sources carelessly. This last addition you made at Christian influences on the Islamic world is complete nonsense; you cited a 9th-century Muslim historian, al-Tabari, to support a claim that is clearly your own and which he obviously wouldn't have made. If you make these kind of misleading edits again, you may be reported to administrators with a recommendation that you be blocked from editing. R Prazeres (talk) 09:21, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

i realized that al tabari was a primary source and i apologize. but doesnt the other source by benjamin walker seem fine? Its still there in another claim. Im gonna take a break from editing this article and do more research. H20346 (talk) 11:09, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good idea; I would go further and frankly suggest that you take a break from editing on religion-related topics and Muslim history topics in general. You've been warned repeatedly about your POV, and I think it's interfering with your ability to make appropriate edits with properly verifiable content. R Prazeres (talk) 16:59, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@H20346, You have repeated the same action. I previously removed the primary religious sources from the Anti-Christian sentiment article, as they were also WP:OR since they do not explicitly classify it as an instance of Christianophobia. Furthermore, they did not have any secondary sources appended next to them. However, you've tried to insert them again.

Also, I just found out that you yourself were the one who added content with 'sahih' as a source, even after being warned by R Prazeres (talk) [1] StarkReport (talk) 17:41, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Persecution of Christians

Here, you changed a source by modern scholar J. Laurent to a book from 1913, obviously not by Laurent, though you let the text continue to say it was. And with an edit summary saying "spelling mistake". That's disruptive editing in several ways. You will soon be blocked again, this time for longer, if you don't edit more carefully.

CS1 error on First Crusade

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page First Crusade, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

Please don't copy material from elsewhere

Hello. I am Diannaa and I am a Wikipedia administrator. Prose you find online, in books, in magazines, and in newspapers is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the copyright policy of this website to do so. All prose must be written in your own words. The Wikipedia copyright policy and its application are complex matters, and you should not edit any more until you have taken the time to read and understand our copyright policy. There's a simplified version of our copyright rules at Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright. Further copyright issues will result in you being blocked from editing. — Diannaa (talk) 19:36, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
