Copying licensed material requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you have added Creative Commons licensed text to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Transient receptor potential channel. You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Compatibly licensed sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 04:33, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @DanCherek! Thank you for the heads-up! My apologies for this blunder, but I really had no idea about such requirement. The only thing I read about this topic is this section, which indeed mentions that attribution must be given. However, the wording is a bit vague, and I misinterpreted it by thinking that attribution can be fulfilled by just mentioning references and using inline citations. How about we edit that article to make it more clear for newcomers like myself? User579987 (talk) 04:53, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. The relevant section on that page would be § Can I copy from open license or public domain sources?, which points to Help:Adding open-license text to Wikipedia; that has some information about attribution templates. DanCherek (talk) 04:59, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
