Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Festivalfalcon873! Your additions to Draft:Battle of Amritsar 1762 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. Please 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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 21:35, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:23, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Festivalfalcon873,

Please learn how to appropriately nominate an article for an AFD discussion. Another editor "fixed" your incorrect postings. You also need to sign all comments you make on Wikipedia everywhere on the project except for article space. Please do so in the future. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:25, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Liz for explaining this too me I will note to use the four tildes at the end of the comment. Could you let know me what was incorrect about the AFD editing wise that needs to be fixed for future times? (Festivalfalcon873 (talk) 00:13, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

WP:Articles for deletion/Battle of Ali Masjid (1839)

Thank you for contacting me. The only Keep views on that AfD were yours and that of Alvin1783. Both of you were only addressing the issue of WP:RAJ, which was not the only relevant guideline, and not the sole reason for the nomination. That isn't surprising, since both you and Alvin1783 are very inexperienced with English Wikipedia, and most of your contributions are around this and similar pages. Owen× ☎ 23:31, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello Owen, thanks for getting back to me. I started editing little over 2 years back but I am still learning along the way from both positive and negative feedbacks. Going back to the article, I believe the main complaint as I'm quoting was: "Another one of these pages. -- Poorly sourced with sources that fail WP:HISTRS, some sources also fall under WP:RAJ. Noorullah (talk) 20:37, 4 May 2024 (UTC)". After removing all the WP:RAJ sources , the nominator then complained of couple sources being from non-historians according to him and these were then replaced and fixed. As far as I can see the article was backed with reasonably well with credible sources thereafter. Could you identify to me which other reason was left that needed to be fixed? Thanks again. (Festivalfalcon873 (talk) 00:29, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Even after the changes, consensus was that sources still didn't meet WP:HISTRS. Owen× ☎ 00:54, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Can you identify which sources did not meet WP:HISTRS in this article page Battle of Ali Masjid 1839? Thanks. (Festivalfalcon873 (talk) 01:07, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

From start to the end of the discussion, I agree that the article was being fixed to address both the WP:RAJ,  WP:HISTRS nomination complaints pointed out earlier and thereafter the changes that were made eliminated both of these issues. I believe the sources referenced at the end did meet WP:HISTRS in the article itself after it was cleaned up. If otherwise you can let me know. (Festivalfalcon873 (talk) 01:18, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
