Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]Hello LorengoK, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Mirko Beljanski have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
- 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- 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 can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:29, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

[edit]This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at Uebert Angel, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Read the sources or see the talk page. You are making exactly the same mistakes as other previously blocked. Have you edited Wikipedia using a different name before?

- Have you read the source Sir? 1 I do see a lot of argument on Talk page. Mostly his fans are editing for him. If you think, contents are disputed and subject is non-notable, please do nominate the page for deletion or delete. I just don't care. I checked myself the sources. I eager to hear your response. LorengoK (talk)
- Of course I checked the source. You didn't - you only checked the abstract. Try again, this time clicking the link to text in English where you'll find the full text of the source, which mentions Angel and the Pentecostal-charismatic movement to which his ministry belongs. --RexxS (talk) 12:26, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Same issue here. Jytdog (talk) 12:47, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
It seems that you, LorengoK, would benefit from slowing down and trying to become more familiar with our conventions here on Wikipedia. Although it is "the encyclopedia anyone can edit", that does not mean you can edit it any way you want.
- If sources are dead (404), you do not remove them and the text that they support: you mark them with the {{dead link}} template and someone will try to find an archived version of that webpage to restore the verifiability of the source. You need to clean up the mess you made by removing sources at Mirko Beljanski
- If you don't believe that a source supports the text, you do not remove it and the text that it supports: you mark it with the {{failed verification}} template and someone will check that and discuss with you how the source supports the text, or possibly find a better source, or tag it as {{citation needed}}. Removing text that has been in the article for any length of time is the last resort.
Fortunately, you had Jytdog to clean up after you at View, Inc. You owe him thanks for fixing the problem you caused through your error. --RexxS (talk) 15:03, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
Warning
[edit]Hi, Lorengo. I see two experienced editors above complaining about your editing. It's unacceptable on Wikipedia to remove sourced content and falsely claim that it's not mentioned in the source, as you have done at two articles. If the problem is caused by language issues, I'm sorry, but you still don't get to lower the quality of Wikipedia articles. If it happens again, you'll be blocked from editing. Also, if you're not aware that Pentecostalism is a Christian movement, as this edit summary implies, you had better not edit articles that refer to the movement.
