Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Lelespri! Your additions to Gold Apollo 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 eligibility.
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) 21:02, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Content" was originally paraphrased from same yahoo article. Deletion thereof and deletion of subsequent correction creates a pattern of censorship rationalized on trivialities. The subject matter of the content is not expressly prohibited. Lelespri (talk) 21:09, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Yahoo website that you cited as a source is marked as "© 2024 Yahoo. All rights reserved." The material was not paraphrased at all; it was identical to that source. Same for the content from AP News; the website is marked as "Copyright 2024 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved" and the content is an exact match.

The source websites where I found the content have the same content, and are likewise marked as "Copyright 2024 © The New Republic. All rights reserved" and "© 2024 KOB-TV, LLC". — Diannaa (talk) 21:59, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Initial reference to the yahoo article was paraphrased. Thanks.

The AP press release has been reduced to a single line, out of an abundance of caution. Lelespri (talk) 03:47, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

From Yahoo News:

Panetta served as the secretary of defense from 2011 to 2013 and director of the CIA from 2009 to 2011, both under President Barack Obama. When asked whether Israel’s attack constituted terrorism, Panetta was unequivocal. “I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism,” he said.

Your addition:

When asked whether Israel’s attack constituted terrorism, Leon Panetta, former US secretary of defense from 2011 to 2013 and director of the CIA from 2009 to 2011, was unequivocal. “I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism,” he said.

Overlapping content is shown in bold. Content is identical; it has only been rearranged. So I don't see any paraphrasing at all. -- Diannaa (talk) 12:48, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
