November 2020

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision diffs
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! - wolf 12:11, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Follow up

I just took a quick glance at your contribs and it appears you've never left an edit summary. Not one! And you've made some very significant changes, such the ones to the Virginia-class that brought me here in the first place. Please leave a summary of some kind. It's easy, it's worthwhile, and it really helps your fellow editors out. Thanks - wolf 12:23, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

CopyVio

Your edit to Virginia-class submarine has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. - wolf 12:42, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

More violations

By just checking a couple random samples of your edits, I found more instances where you are copying word-for-word, or outright copy-&-pasting content from external sources right into WP articles. I've already deleted the content you added to the Virginia-class submarine (noted above), but I also found examples with;

• this edit at Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II procurement and
• this edit at Tomahawk (missile)

Many of your edits and/or the sources you've used are in a language other than English, so I couldn't check those. I haven't done anything about the two examples noted here yet, as they were each a part of a series of edits. I would strongly encourage you to correct your contributions to these two articles as soon as possible. I would also encourage you to familiarize yourself with WP's copyright policies and then carefully go through all 293 of your edits to ensure there are no other violations. - wolf 13:54, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
