Your edit to Foreign policy of the Ronald Reagan administration 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.

Hi, Diannaa, I'm somewhat new to this, can you please help me understand how that was a copyright violation if I cited the source? Did I just need to paraphrase instead of quote? Did WP complain? Also, did you archive my previous edits so they can't be reverted too again? They're all greyed out. I'm very confused what happened here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HazelBasil (talk • contribs) 22:36, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Heads up that pings won't work if you don't sign the post using ~~~~. Pinging here so she sees it: Diannaa GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 02:51, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's not okay to copypaste text from elsehere, even if you cite your source. Everything you add to Wikipedia needs to be written in your own words please. The revisions containing the copyright material were hidden from view under under criterion RD1 of the revision deletion policy, and that's why you can't access them any more. — Diannaa (talk) 13:26, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sending you appreciation

Since I created Apple worker organization and in my capacity within Tech Workers Coalition I am WP:INVOLVED, I've stayed out of commenting on the related dispute matters of the various articles about different individuals, including yourself, but want to say I appreciate you. I cannot comment in depth on any content disputes/matters, but I'm always happy to answer any wiki/policy related questions. I cannot say where/what consensus will be, but can ensure any concerns/questions you have are at least addressed/engaged with. So far that seems to be the case.

IP edits

Hello. If you made the IP edits concerning your case, then the answer to your questions about your block is for you to e-mail the Arbitration Committee and ask them. The e-mail address is arbcom-en@wikimedia.org, also reachable using the "e-mail this user" feature at User:Arbitration Committee. I believe this is also the only avenue for you to appeal the block on this account, since it was imposed by ArbCom. Socking, using an IP or otherwise, is not permitted, hence the block on the IP. If the IP was not you but someone impersonating you, please excuse the intrusion. Yngvadottir (talk) 05:33, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
