Wikipedia and copyright

Hello HellidyLima! Your additions to Demographics of Cyprus 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, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's elegibility.
Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 23:20, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Diannaa! Thanks for letting me know. I will pay closer attention to that in future edits. HellidyLima (talk) 11:39, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The lead is a summary

Hello there. I noticed your edit to the article on pigeon photography which provided inline citations for the lead content. This is generally not required in good articles, and especially not in featured articles, as the lead acts as a summary of its following content. This is much the same principle as that for the content of infoboxes, which act to summarize key points of the article. If the article is properly sourced, the lead should summarize the content, and as such act as a repetition of already sourced info. It's a whole thing :) Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 17:24, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Fred. I see what you mean. I just undid my edit. Thanks for the heads up! HellidyLima (talk) 20:05, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries :) There are plenty of crappy leads around the place though, so it doesn't always work out! A lot of short articles, which doesn't necessarily mean bad, are practically all lead, so the refs will have to be there. There's currently 6,914,736 articles, so there's bound to be a fair amount of variety ;) Nice to meet you :) Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 00:00, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
