Speedy deletion nomination of Nicola Yanney

Hello Vaišvilkas,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Nicola Yanney for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Copyright and Wikipedia

Hello Vaišvilkas! Your additions to Nicola Yanney 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 elegibility.
• 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. Significa liberdade (talk) 14:38, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

I moved over a text that existed in another article, though I didn't write it. I know how copyright works. I was not aware that the original text which I moved from another article had any problems in this regard, living as it had in that other article for some time -- about a year or more.

That said, I was in the process of rewriting it to make it a more fulsome piece when multiple other editors started reverting it to the state I found the text in originally and then eventually removing the article entirely as a copyright violation. How anyone is supposed to remedy the problems you mention I cannot imagine, if revisions that transform the text considerably -- including new sources which I added -- simply get reverted. I was trying to fix it.

Something is broken, it seems to me, if this sort of thing is the norm, since it frustrates the process of trying to deal with the problems you mention. Vaišvilkas (talk) 18:42, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Beresteishchyna, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Orthodox Church. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:05, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

November 2023

Hello, I'm Pbritti. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Raphael of Brooklyn, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Pbritti (talk) 17:36, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
