Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Persesus! 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. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. 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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:44, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

I get it thanks for heads up--Persesus (talk) 15:46, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

March 2022

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in Eastern Europe or the Balkans. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at User talk:Dronebogus. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. Binksternet (talk) 08:20, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Russophobia Collaboration

I sincerely appreciate the time you have taken into helping me and other editors improve the Russophobia page. I am glad that we both see the both the rising trend of Russophobia as well as the need to update the page. The sources you have suggested in the talk page are greatly appreciated. However some of them are opinion pieces and I cannot use them in a traditional fashion without citing them as opinion pieces. That said the sources you have brought in are incredibly helpful. Thank you and keep up the great work and enthusiasm.

Is it possible to ban an editor?

Will anyone answer that question Persesus (talk) 06:53, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Yes, see WP:BAN. However a ban is much more serious than a WP:BLOCK, which is what you are probably thinking of. And in either case consider reading WP:BOOMERANG before requesting one. Dronebogus (talk) 07:54, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

You have engaged in WP:VANDALism, WP:personal attacks and WP:POV pushing. This will be obvious to anyone who looks at your behavior. Dronebogus (talk) 07:56, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

F you drone guy Persesus (talk) 14:28, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
