June 2021

Hello, I'm Pipsally. I noticed that you recently removed content from Muhoozi Kainerugaba without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Klupper! Your additions to Kakwenza Rukira 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. 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.
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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page.  Thank you.  DanCherek (talk) 14:00, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much Dan, your changes are just fine. Klupper (talk) 16:27, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:LABEL

The only article that uses "dictator" in the lead is Adolf Hitler, despite several other figures such as Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Kim Jong-il being commonly described as such. Biographical articles avoid using such terms without attribution because of Wikipedia's policies on tone, i.e. Wikipedia as a website attempts to be as neutral as possible, with the inclusion of significant view points. "Dictator" could be re-added but only with proper attribution. CentreLeftRight ✉ 20:12, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An example can be seen in the third paragraph of the article Kim Jong-il. CentreLeftRight ✉ 20:35, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CentreLeftRight. Using the word Dictator is in line with the Tone requirement. NYtimes uses it too and they also use formal tone. BTW: Stalin has Dictator in main paragraph and he should. Klupper (talk) 21:13, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The point of MOS:LABEL is that you should provide context (why they are called a dictator) and, ideally, attribution (who calls them a dictator, especially if it is contested), so it is clear to the reader why they are a dictator. Labeling can be contested even within the political mainstream, which is why this policy exists. CentreLeftRight ✉ 22:41, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Very reputable sources like nytimes or dw.com (Deutsche Welle) call him dictator, without explaining why he is. However, democracy organisations label countries and North-Korea is labeled 'Non-Free' on freedomhouse.org with the lowest score world wide,3 out of 100. That is sufficient argument to be afraid of it being contested. Klupper (talk) 09:50, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Lumbuye

Hello, Klupper. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Lumbuye, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 15:02, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lina Zedriga moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Lina Zedriga, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lina Zedriga (March 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DoubleGrazing was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The 'Family and Education' section cites only once source, which does not provide the details contained in it; if that info doesn't come from the source cited, where does it come from?

Also (and this is not the reason for declining at this time), notability is at best borderline: primary sources and interviews don't count, meaning there are at best three qualifying sources provided, and that's assuming all three are WP:RS. If further sources can be found which meet the WP:GNG standard, please add them before resubmitting.

--

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Lina Zedriga and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Lina Zedriga, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
