Wikipedia and copyright

30px|link=|alt=Control copyright icon ↗ Hello Gsk8! Your additions to :Elizabeth Tkachenko ↗ 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 mark ↗s (") 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 {{section link|Help:Translation|Licensing}}.

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 <span style="color:red">🍁</span> (talk) 13:16, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

:Hi!
:Are we talking about "quotes"? I'm not sure I follow what was violated? Was there too much quoted? Can you provide an example? Thanks! Gsk8 (talk) 18:04, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
::I wanted to add that the page was not being updated with their latest programs, so I added that information as well. Is this your page or was I "reported"? Gsk8 (talk) 18:17, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
:::Some of the contwnt you added was a match for material here ↗. This was detected by automatic plagiarism detection software and assessed by myself. I didn't removed any quotations. — Diannaa <span style="color:red">🍁</span> (talk) 19:32, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
::::Thanks! I can't seem to find what content you removed? Archived? I thought I had referenced it properly? Gsk8 (talk) 19:44, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
:::::The content has been removed from the page history. That's why you can't view it any more. It was regarding the switch to competing for Israel instead of the US. You did cite your source. The problem is that you ''copied'' from it. — Diannaa <span style="color:red">🍁</span> (talk) 23:14, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
::::::Ok thank you! I'll be more careful next time! I also just edited the partner's page which mirrored it. Gsk8 (talk) 00:53, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
