ASStoroid, you are invited to the Teahouse!

Hi ASStoroid! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. We hope to see you there!

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

I've uploaded a reduced version of the picture, so everything should be fine now. ASStoroid (talk) 18:23, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
Hello ASStoroid, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Government College University (Lahore) 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- 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.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:39, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi!Thank you for your feedback regarding Government College University (Lahore). The thing is that I am a student at the said university. The portion about CASP I added is in-fact, a real department in the university. Proof of its existence doesn't exist on the college website as I'm writing this response (guess they forgot to update the website). But it's reference/citation/proof of existence (whatever you may want to call it) is present in the form of a printed brochure. To quote the person above me, "...I didn't realize that it is more complex of an issue than that. I understand that I need to make more of an effort to paraphrase the content...".Anyways, the thing is that this department is state of the art research center, one of its kind in Lahore, so I think it should be present on the university page. How do you suggest I add it there? Any/All help will be extremely helpful ! SIDE NOTE: I'm not that comfortable with the Source Editor here, I'd really appreciate it if we talk via email, if that's okay with you? -- ASStoroid ; (mail) Atta Ullah 22:52, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- What you need to do is completely re-write the content using your own words. Don't include any wording from the source material. One thing I find that works for me is to read over the source material and then pretend I am verbally describing the topic to a friend in my own words. Stuff should also be presented in a different order where possible. Summarize rather than paraphrase. This will typically result in your version being much shorter than the source document. There's some reading material on this topic at Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing and/or have a look at the material at Purdue or study this module aimed at WikiEd students. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:09, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- Okay thanks!! I just have two more followup questions: <1> Can any other user view my sandbox? What I have in mind id that I'll summarize and create a draft of it in my sandbox, then you, or any other user, can check it. <2> As I stated above, there exists a rather explanatory brochure/pamphlet of the said department in physical form. How can I cite references to a physical copy? -ASStoroid (talk) 11:52, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
- Everyone can view your sandbox, and the same rules apply there regarding copyright. See if there's a copy of the pamphlet online and use that as your reference. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:12, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

Copyright material - Farhang e Asifiya
Just to let you know, I also found and removed copyright material in the article Farhang e Asifiya. — Ninja Diannaa (Talk) 18:08, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for your help. I'm taking some paraphrasing courses and I'll rewrite that section shortly (in my own words). Atta Ullah 10:14, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

"Good articles" and article protection
Please take a moment to read Wikipedia:Good articles to learn what this concept is on wikipedia, and especially why you can't just decide to add {{good article}} to articles you like. Likewise, please read WP:PROT to learn why adding a protection tag to an article has no actual effect (you as an editor do not have the technical permission to protect articles). DMacks (talk) 16:19, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi! Is this regarding the {{good article}} tag on Lahore article? And also who can protect articles? AttaEditsWiki (talk) 16:31, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
Request to add pictures to articles.
Hi, I see that you're a Pakistani Wikipedian, so you'll be familiar with Hania Amir & Danish Taimoor. I've uploaded their images to Wikimedia Commons (refer here). I can't add their pictures to their articles as they are semi-protected. I was hoping if you'd add them there. 📷 PicturesUploader (talk) 04:40, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
