Electromagnetic Radio Frequency Convergence

Hey, you had notified me that the page for Electromagnetic Radio Frequency Convergence was taken down due to copyright infringement. I'm rewriting the article to remove the copyright infringement and want to upload the article again. This is my first time contributing to wikipedia and I'm not sure what the next step is to upload the article. How do you suggest I proceed?

older copies

Hi. I hope you are well.
Recently, I saw a few articles speedied for copyvios. These articles were created a few months ago. That incident made me wonder: if we find identical content to the word between a website, and not so new article, how to find out who copied who? Sometimes wikipedia can be copied too. Kindly ping while replying. Thanks a lot in advance. —usernamekiran(talk) 13:35, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Usernamekiran. As you know, almost as soon as content is added to Wikipedia it is copied onto mirror sites and re-used in other ways. There's a couple ways to investigate who is copying who. The longer the content has been present on Wikipedia the harder it gets to provide a definitive answer.

• Compare the date the content was added to the article with the date the material was published elsewhere. News stories often include a publication date, and you will sometimes find a publication date or copyright date on other webpages as well. If the date a specific passage was added to Wikipedia is not obvious, you can figure it out using this tool.
• Determining the age of a webpage that doesn't show a publication date can be done in a few ways. (1) Check using the Wayback Machine to see if there's a copy online that predates the addition to Wikipedia. These next three tools require a bit of finesse and guesswork and should not be considered as definitive: (2) Sometimes this tool will give an accurate date for the creation of a webpage. But sometimes it will just give you information on when the page was last archived by the Wayback Machine. (3) Sometimes this tool will give you an accurate date for the creation of a webpage. (4) Sometimes you can determine how old a webpage is using this tool. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:05, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the explanation. You forgot to ping by the way
Thanks again. See you around. —usernamekiran(talk) 03:32, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Your revert on ICRC page

Diannaa: I am afraid that I have been forced to reduce my WP activity for some time now and I am sure that I have missed many things. Could you explain your revert (as spam) the two references on the ICRC site? Both Hermann and Palmieri are experts re: the ICRC. True the second reference is broader than is perhaps necessary, but the contributers are all trained scholars and the reference is not unuseful in understanding the ICRC. I do hope that I can become more involved in the near future. Joel Mc (talk) 18:38, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Joel Mc. The reason I removed it is because it was one of a series of 6 edits performed by Special:Contributions/2A02:8109:9AC0:DB4:481C:D5AA:1B89:4AC4. All 6 edits added what looked to me like low-value links, all to the same website. If you think this particular set of 2 links is a good addition, please go ahead and re-add. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:15, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa. Thanks for your reply. I will look more closely at the 2 links. --Joel Mc (talk) 05:51, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Buick

Hi Dianaa, my edit on Buick seems to have been accidentally struck through in Buick: Revision history. Eddaido (talk) 22:42, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Revision deletion was done to hide a copyright violation added by a different person. Revision deletion was done on the entire series of edits from the point of addition to the point of removal so as to remove the copyvio completely from the page history. Sometimes it means that, like in this instance, innocuous edits like yours are hidden. Sorry about that. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:53, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes, but anyone reading the record will see that I am recorded as responsible for the copyvio. Your action did not remove my edit from the body of the article, its just I get all the blame! Eddaido (talk) 22:57, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

The earliest edit that is struck through is the one where the copyvio was added. That's the one timestamped at 11:56, July 20, 2018‎ added by user:Marine3800. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:05, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

No. What I'm complaining about was correct but you seem to have changed something because previously Eddaido came up as the perpetrator and I cannot repeat that. I am still struck out in the revision history. Eddaido (talk) 23:13, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

At the point where you edited the article, the copyvio was still present. That's why your edit has to be hidden. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:23, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Please understand — my edit has never been hidden!! What I whined about was 1. the edit being struck out on revision history then later after my first note on here when I investigated further I could see that 2. in your admin? records I take the blame for the copyvio. If the matter comes back to bite me we will have this correspondence to show what happened won't we. So please no more worrying about it. Thanks, Eddaido (talk) 23:30, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Please restore the text you removed from Draft:Roberta Silman and unhide / unrevdel the revisions which contain it. I have permission for the text in that draft that came from robertasilman.com at Ticket:2018032010011778.   — Jeff G. ツ 23:40, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jeff G. Will do. When you have a minute please place data regarding the ticket on the draft's talk page. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:53, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

If I recall correctly, Diannaa is not an OTRS agent so cannot review that ticket. I am and have just looked at it.

There is a chance I missed something (because there are 14 entries back-and-forth), but while I see permission statements for images I haven't yet seen anything covering text. Please help me out if you think I missed it.--S Philbrick(Talk) 23:58, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Could you please double check the ticket and see if it applies to the prose, or just the images? Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 01:08, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

@Sphilbrick: "and in the images" in Article 1 implies that the antecedent is not about images, but I can confirm if you want.   — Jeff G. ツ 02:05, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Garo: Vanishing Line

Hi, on the above article, pretty much the entire page history has been nuked due to a copyvio in a plot summary. I understand why this had to be done (copyright) as well as the fact that you're only using the revision deletion function written by the Wikimedia Developers, but there has to be a better way. For edits that were to page sections, only a single one was made to the plot section while a majority were to other sections. The fact that all other diffs become hidden due to a edit in a completely different section is ridiculous. This hampers editing as well as spotting vandalism that was inserted into an article. For example, one of the edits "Removed Kanji and Romanji titles"; now to add them back I'd have to locate them myself which might not always be feasible for all kinds of information (such as offline book citations). Not having the page history available defeats the purpose of a wiki. Personally I'd say this is a case where simple just blanking the plot is enough as no one else ever goes into revisions. Yes, I get that you're an admin and that Wikipedia is hosted in the U.S. so it's a slave to copyright, but we should also be thinking pragmatically. Maybe the developers could also do something to make the revdel tool more granular or perhaps have a user right that allows viewing copyvio diffs and not suppressed ones. Opencooper (talk) 06:42, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Opencooper. Each time an editor makes an edit, the revision is saved as a new webpage. The entire article is saved; sections are an internal division and do not exist as a separate entity, even if the edit performed as a section edit, so performing revision deletion on only one section of an article is not technically possible. The copyright policy and copyright law are not set up for the convenience of editors. Saying that we should only follow them when it's convenient to do so is not gonna happen, so sorry. I can provide to you the content of the deleted revisions if that's an actual question and not a hypothetical. The edit summary for the removal of the Kanji and Romanji titles implies that they had no references so I suspect you would have some hunting for citations regardless — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:31, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, I figured there was a technical reason behind it... And of course copyright isn't for our convenience, but Wikipedia doesn't make it any better with how its compliance is well beyond what is actually required, such as with fair use. And sorry, I was just asking hypothetically because I've had issues in the past. Thanks anyway! Opencooper (talk) 07:49, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Edit reversion for Powers of the police in England and Wales

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like you to assume good faith while interacting with other editors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Your recent reversion of a large block of text for an alleged copyright violation was not only counter-productive, but also very unhelpful as the text is a very relevant part of the law but you chose to delete even the revision history. It could have been tagged to correct and the copyright issues could have been avoided. Also, since when is the law copyrighted? Pretty sure it's there for the public to be able to see. Please try to be not over-zealous and just delete things in the future please. You are not helping Wikipedia or the publication of correct information this way. Reading the above comments, it also seems you have a history of deleting a lot of information without actually being at all helpful.

Also, since you live in Alberta, what experience with UK Police law or crown copyright do you have? Apeholder (talk) 17:57, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

What I did was remove copyright content copied from this document. Source page is marked as Copyright, all rights reserved. What I didn't notice is that the page is also marked as being released under the Open Government license. Sorry for the mistake. I have re-added the content and added the required attribution. It's okay for us to copy material from a webpage that is available under an Open Government Licence, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this legal requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:11, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Am I off base?

Hello D. A ew editor who is well versed in wiki editing has added all of this to the List of awards and nominations received by Meryl Streep (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs). To my eye it is copy/pasted from the articles for the various awards. If so there may be a need for a lot of r/d'ing. If not then I will wait for the discussion on the talk page to run its course. I know this is a lot of edits to look at so if it takes you some time to get to it no worries. Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 19:28, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution, but it's not a copyvio per se but a violation of the terms of the CC-by license, which requires attribution. So there's no revision deletion needed. If descriptions of awards are copied from the respective articles, each instance needs attribution. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:36, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks D. I know many of us lean on you for your knowledge in these areas. I hope everyone else appreciates the time you take to explain things as much as I do. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 19:08, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Fair use quote question

Hello, I recently removed part of a quote in an article because the quote contained almost all of the source material pertaining to the subject (and I judged it promotional but that's neither here nor there right now). The material was reinstated by the article's most recent major contributor. I'm wondering if I've misinterpreted fair use with respect to quotes? I'd appreciate any guidance you can offer. Thank you! Ca2james (talk) 22:03, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

I don't think it's excessive for a quotation from a review, but the segment you removed is not a review but a description, which is easily replaceable with prose that we write ourselves. So I think it should come out. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:39, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the clarification! I see you've removed part of the quote as well - thank you for doing that. Ca2james (talk) 02:22, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in working on wikipedia. There are a couple of problems with your submission. You cannot post copyright material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder, unless special licensing permissions are in place. That is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, and all content must have the appropriate documentation in place before that can happen. Please see Wikipedia:donating copyrighted materials which explains how it works.

The second problem is conflict of interest. Writing an article about your own organisation or that of a client is strongly discouraged, as it is difficult to maintain the required neutral point of view. According to our terms of use, paid editors and people editing on behalf of their employer are required to disclose their conflict of interest by posting a notice on their user page or talk page. I have placed some information about conflict of interest on your user talk page. I have removed your email address and phone number from the above post.

Please don't remove speedy deletion tags from an article you've created yourself. Wait for an admin or experienced patroller to assess please. The current version is okay from a copyright point of view. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:06, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Questionable deletion tag

I'm curious about this deletion tag. You've tagged Rita Catolino with db-a7 (doubt it would pass A7 given the amount of coverage) db-g13 (abandoned draft?? it's not a draft and it's brand new) and db-g12 (duplication detector scores it only at 29.6%). I restored the tag because it was removed by the author without proper discussion, but I'm going to go ahead and remove it because I don't think any of those criteria apply. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:01, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

The G13 tag was a Twinkle mis-click. I'll take your word for it about the A7 - I'm not very good at assessing notability. The current version is okay from a copyright point of view, and I've done the revision deletion. Thanks for your help. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:04, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

The author (a tad frustrated, I think) has opened an AFD on their own article, which I doubt will pass. But I think there's enough claim of notability to avoid speedy deletion. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:09, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Dianna I apologize if i came off as upset. I don't blame you for A7 CSD tagging, sometimes it hard to tell whether to Prod, CSD or AFD or keep. Maybe we can help each other out in that department to make both us better at it. Happy editing. JC7V7DC5768 (talk) 21:22, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Some questions about update the content of the LiteOS, thanks

Hello Diannaa

I am an IoT engineer from China. This is my first time using Wikipedia, and I am not quite sure about the rules of Wikipedia. I am trying to update the content of the ‘LiteOS’ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiteOS) for the following reasons.

The latest version of LiteOS from University of Illinois was released in 2011 and has not been updated for a long time, speculating that the product may have stopped development and maintenance. HUAWEI also has a open source product, the name is also LiteOS, and is constantly updated, the latest version is released in 2018, you can search ‘LiteOS’ in Google for more information.

I updated the ‘LiteOS’on July 19th and saw that were removed back to the original content because of copyright issues. If I want to continue to update the ‘LiteOS’ content, add the content of Huawei LiteOS, and rearrange the content of the copyright issue, can I resubmit it? Thank you for your reply and advise.

Mumu 9001 (talk) 09:03, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello Mumu 9001. Just rearranging the content is not enough. You have to re-write it completely using your own words. Use the source document as a source of information, but not of wording. I've placed some links to additional information on your user talk page. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:43, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Mumu 9001 Thanks Diannaa,

thank you very much for your answers. I updated the content based on your advises. The main content was edited according to my understanding. There is no copy. For details, please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiteOS.

Also, Could I transfer the previous content to LiteOS_(University_of_Illinois) to introduce the system of the University of Illinois?

I don't know if it works, thanks.

Mumu 9001 (talk) 03:48, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Western blot

I'd like to run something by you.

It started out simple enough. A reader noted a citation needed tag in the section Radioactive detection of an article Western blot, and suggested that this source might qualify.

ticket:2018072610005963

(I'm going to point them to this discussion)

Unfortunately, it's too close.

The source document doesn't specify copyright information. My default assumption is that unless something is specifically identified as freely licensed, we should presume it is subject to full copyright.

However there are a couple complications. It is not just that paragraph that matches, whole chunks of the Wikipedia article match. Furthermore, note the existence of Wikipedia listed as a reference in the list of references at the end of the paper.

The paper is dated 2009. The Wikipedia article at the end of 2008 looks like this.

My current thinking is that the 2009 paper borrowed heavily from this Wikipedia article and several related ones. I would have thought that Wikipedia would not be viewed as acceptable source for this sort of paper.

My easiest next response is to inform the reader that the paper borrowed from Wikipedia so cannot serve as a source.

The article still needs additional citations but that's outside the scope of what we do in the context of a copyright review.

I'm thinking of suggesting that if the reader wants to help find a citation they will have to find something that predates the roughly 2006 and 2007 time period when they article was being put together.

Anything else we need to do from a copyright standpoint?--S Philbrick(Talk) 15:52, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

The article has a publication date of January 2009 so anything that overlaps with our content as of that date would have been copied from Wikipedia rather than the other way around. Comparing revisions from that period shows that the paper copied from Wikipedia. The paper mentions three Wikipedia articles: Western blot, Southern blot, and Northern blot, and appears to have copied from all three. There's nothing we need to do here from a copyright point of view. This paper is unacceptable to use as a citation obviously. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:35, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Edits To International Institute of Islamic Thought

Hi Dianna, Please revert all the changes you made to the International Institute of Islamic Thought page. All the information was factual and had sources. You cited it as "copy right" when it came directly from the company's website and employees are the ones trying to put that information there. The page is already biased so we need the factual information right from the website on there. It was also giving more additional information that people may not know about IIIT. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.82.213.4 (talk) 17:12, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

If you are affiliated with or work for the organization, you have a conflict of interest, and should not be editing the article. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:22, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

No, was just trying to write the factual information on there and add more information as the page was pretty blank - didn't even delete the biased pieces. The page already has a disclaimer at the top so thought people should know more about what IIIT does, just like would do the same on other pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.82.213.4 (talk) 17:29, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

That's a good idea, but copying material directly from the organization's website is not okay, because it's a copyright violation to do so. That violates the copyright policy of this website and violates copyright law. If you work for the organization, you should post suggested edits on the article's talk page instead of performing the edits yourself. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:33, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Using DVD, or VHS as a reference

Hi Diaana,

I was wondering if one could use an actual release of a film DVD or VHS as a reference to explain the summary of a film like I did in Yellow Faced Tiger also known as Slaughter In San-Francisco

My citations goes as followed: Slaughter In San-Francisco. VHS. Embassy Home Entertainment. VHS 7645. 1985.

Let me know if it's OK to do so. Also is my format right.

While we don't normally add a citation for a plot summary, I'm sure it's okay to do so. There's a template Template:Cite AV media you could use to help with formatting the citation, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:38, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

A Second Chance (2011 film)

Hi Diannaa, please restore/unhide the text you removed from Draft:A Second Chance (2011 film). The producers/writers wrote the text and own the copyright. I have permission from them to use the text you removed. Susanmaryg (talk) 00:37, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in working on wikipedia. There are a couple of problems with your submission. You cannot post copyright material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder, unless special licensing permissions are in place. That is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, and all content must have the appropriate documentation in place before that can happen. Please see Wikipedia:donating copyrighted materials which explains how it works.

The second problem is conflict of interest. Writing an article about your own organisation or that of a client is strongly discouraged, as it is difficult to maintain the required neutral point of view. According to our terms of use, paid editors and people editing on behalf of their employer are required to disclose their conflict of interest by posting a notice on their user page or talk page. I have placed some information about conflict of interest on your user talk page. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 04:33, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Gabbar Singh

Hi. So. Please let me know how could i create an article about Gabbar Singh Dacoit.

As i wrote all stuff relating to him from newspapers .. Gewingewin (talk) 08:44, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

What you need to do is write the material using your own words, not copy and paste from newspapers. Doing that is a violation of our copyright policy and it's against the law, too. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:05, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

We need to have documentation that shows the copyright holders have given permission for the material to be copied to this website. Wikipedia has procedures in place for this purpose.

Talk:Ambience Mall Gurgaon

Could you revdel the last talkpage message please? It's a copypaste from a trade magazine (TAVF Magazine), link at [2] (or google for "The delightful 1 Km shopping area"). Page numbers in the magazine are 17-18. Thank you. GermanJoe (talk) 07:11, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Done. Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:27, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Apparent copyvio with content translated from Spanish web page

• Vvven (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

As far as I can tell, the text of the article Iglesia de San Esteban is a copyvio of content translated in raw form from http://www.jdiezarnal.com/valenciaiglesiadesanesteban.html. I'm feeling rather angry that I've wasted a good bit of time fixing the English and rewriting the text with minor alterations. I should have checked the article's earlier history when I first saw the username Vvven, who has been blocked by you; then I would have taken notice that the article was created by him, which is a red flag in itself. Perhaps the article should be deleted entirely? Carlstak (talk) 20:29, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

So sorry this happened. I wish there was time to clean all an editor's contribs when they're blocked, but of course it's not always possible because there's only so much editing time available.. I suggest converting the article to a stub using material from the lead, or adding a paragraph to the article about the town and redirecting the article to there. Either way, we will have to do revision deletion back to the first edit. Please let me know which course you think is best and we'll proceed. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:40, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Well, I'd rather make it a stub using some adjusted non-copy-vio content. Perhaps when I'm feeling better about it I will rewrite it, as it is an interesting subject (at least to me and a few others). Man, I wish that serial offender had not been been so prolific; no telling how much of this nonsense is still hosted by WP. I'll make it a stub right now. Thanks for your time and for all the work you do, as always. Carlstak (talk) 21:50, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

 Done Carlstak (talk) 22:08, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I've added a citation and done the revision deletion. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 10:14, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

File:Marlo Hampton at Tom Ford Spring 2018 after party.jpg

Hi diannaa, The image File:Marlo Hampton at Tom Ford Spring 2018 after party.jpg that you deleted was taken with my iPhone but she posted it on Instagram so how is it a copyright. And how can I add it to draft :Marlo Hampton Ziggy 2milli (talk) 22:24, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Since the image was previously published elsewhere online, we need proof that you are the copyright holder. This is done by providing evidence of permission by either providing a link to a site with an explicit release under a free license or by sending a declaration of consent to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. There's full instructions at Commons:OTRS. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 09:37, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Request for advice / input on a COPYVIO issue

Hi Diannaa, may I ask you to have a look at a conversation about what I think is a COPYVIO in the BLP of Joan Freeman (Irish psychologist)? There is an RfC at talk:Joan Freeman (Irish psychologist)#Request for comment regarding family where I raised a COPYVIO concern. The text was then removed and I did some redrafting, only for it all to be reverted by an editor who then tweaked the original text. I would like your view on:

1. Am I right in the first place that it was a COPYVIO? If not, where I am wrong?
2. If I am right, are the changes that have been made since sufficient to address the COPYVIO issue?
3. Is there now a need for some rev-del?

Many Thanks, EdChem (talk) 23:22, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

I've done some further modifications to the content and some revision deletion and posted a comment on the talk page. Thanks for the report. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 10:50, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

MTS Oceanos

Hey, can you check this article, please? The copyvio tag date back to 2015. regards. --Mhhossein ^talk 08:40, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Cleaned. There's even older copyvio tags; there's currently 671 tagged articles, with some tags dating back to March 2014. See Category:Copied and pasted articles and sections for a complete list. You do not have to be an administrator to help with this clean-up. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 10:11, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. How can I help? --Mhhossein ^talk 18:34, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much for offering to help. I suggest you could try to resolve some of the cases in Category:Copied and pasted articles and sections with url provided. It would probably be easiest if you chose to work on the more recent ones, as the source url will be more likely to still exist. You can compare the source url with the Wikipedia page using https://tools.wmflabs.org/copyvios/. Remove any copyvio that you find, and then request revision deletion using Template:Copyvio-revdel or ask any of the admins listed at Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to handle RevisionDelete requests to help with this step if you're not sure how to use the template. If you're unsure about how to handle any particular case, just ask, or skip it and move on to another. Thanks again. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:47, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Rosmah Mansor

Hi Diannaa, may I request the article to be protected? --Jay (talk) 11:14, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

It's not necessary right at the moment. I have it watch-listed and will protect if the situation gets worse. Thanks for your concern. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:40, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Draft:Marlo Hampton

Thanks diannaa, You also deleted some part of my draft:Marlo Hampton I will like you to help me and check if it is okay now. Because I will not Like my draft to be deleted again when I want to submit it as article. Ziggy 2milli (talk) 12:39, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

I've cleaned it again. Some of this was stuff I already removed once. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:12, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Diannaa, But Why did you cleaned it can you explain so I won't repeat the mistake.

Content has to be written in your own words and not 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) 18:33, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much diannaa I really appreciate your time and care, is the Draft:Marlo Hampton okay now
