Wikipedia and copyright
[edit] Hello Somebody040404, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Tango 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. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
- 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 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 in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
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. Largoplazo (talk) 15:23, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I didn ´t know. Trank you.
The next sentences weren ´t from the Robert Farris Thompson ´s book. I don ´t understand why they were deleted. Robert Farris Thompson is not the only author who translate the word ntangu : According to some authors, tango is derived from the Kongo word ntangu which means "sun", "time", "space-time". When black slaves had finished working they shouted "tango!" and started to dance. Somebody040404 (talk) 18:24, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

These sentences didn ´t come from https://m.facebook.com/lentrepoledanses/posts/2670832186510324 but from https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tango_(danse) Which got these (the translation of the word Ntangu and the second sentence) from Michel Plisson ´s book and from Dom Pedro ´s documentary « Tango negro » https://www.lepoint.fr/culture/tango-negro-et-si-les-racines-du-tango-etaient-aussi-africaines-16-08-2017-2150225_3.php (Dom Pedro ´s interview) Somebody040404 (talk) 22:27, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

I noticed you asked a question at Wikipedia talk:Edit warring that did not appear related to Wikipedia's policy on edit warring, so I removed it. I suggest you ask your question at the Teahouse instead. ― Tartan357 Talk 02:21, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

yeah my b
[edit]I shouldn't have written that, and, besides, it wasn't even inordinately elevating Egypt. I'm sorry. Uncalled for. That said, it was a list of cities proper, and you seemed to be populating it with the populations of the urban areas as a whole. And the general pattern of the list isn't to delete the cities of past years if there's no new estimate, but to integrate them. But yeah, seriously, my bad there.

[edit] Hello, I'm Yamaguchi先生. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Kongo religion have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 00:05, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
Hello,
You put back 41.10.29.165 ´s updates. I only put back the old version before 41.10.29.165 ´s updates and not all Bantu speakers have the same religion, there are differences as well as similarities. If you click on Candomble Bantu, Haitian Vodou (Simbi comes from the Kongo people) and Hoodoo you will see that Kongo influences have been written. The persons who added these religions (Candomble bantu, Hoodoo and Haitian Vodou) in the History section before the user 41.10.29.165 ´s updates were not wrong.Somebody040404 (talk) 05:27, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
