Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Zahlé into Christianity in the Middle East. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 01:13, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see you are still not adding the required attribution, as required under the terms of the CC-by-SA license. Please have a look at this edit summary as an example of how it is done. Please let me know if you still don't understand what to do or why we have to do it. Thanks, — Diannaa (talk) 18:27, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning from middle east dear Diannaa, please let me know how to copy from another page in a proper way (i.e. how to add note that the text is copied) thank you so much, regards.

Hello, I'm Iryna Harpy. I noticed that you made a change to an article, History of the Jews in Lebanon, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.
Please note that Facebook is not a reliable source. If that organisation has an official website, it may be considered to be reliable. Cheers! Iryna Harpy (talk) 08:26, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Iryna Harpy. I trust this will find you well. Why didn't you check the official page of the Jewish Community Council of Lebanon, it is their only reference as their community is under threat and they prefer to stay disclosed. Kindly reply. I trust this will suffice.

Okay, I'll take a look tomorrow, as I'm about to log off for the night. I should be able to establish whether it is legitimate, and will restore the content, plus clean it up a little so that it's properly presented. Given that it's a small community, I'm sure they're in a position to to know what their membership numbers are. Can you think of any other sources that would be able to verify their existence?

The problem lies in that there are articles, such as this and this one that state otherwise, so it's a difficult one to get around. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 09:12, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NMB

Hi ther. I invite you to create an account, and start reading about wikipedia policy namely the manual of style. I am reverting your contribution because it doesn't comply with wikipedia policy and because the NMB article is a peer-reviewed article that obtained "Good Article" status. Wikipedia is and should be a neutral place, you can express your point of views on your personal pages and other available websites. Rules were put in place for a purpose and I will uphold them; I will remove any edit that doesn't comply with policies and those that don't add any value (there is an article for the NMB on the French version, french is welcome there). Have a good day. ~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 11:01, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Elias Z. , it is a peer-reviewal. you said it well, but why using dominant language like this "Rules were put in place for a purpose and I will uphold them; I will remove any edit that doesn't comply with policies and those that don't add any value". Are you an admin for wikipedia or something people are not aware of?

Dear Elias ZPlus!!! as I have told you before:

The French language is officialy used on Lebanese pound bank notes, road signs, licence plates, and official buildings

We should respect our Lebanese ancestors and their and our values. Why does it smell like Francophobia?

Copyright

Hello 83.111.97.58, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to American University of Science and Technology has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

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 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 designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 can, but please follow the steps in 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. - Arjayay (talk) 11:52, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Arjayay, Thank you for the message. I would like you to teach me how to mention whenever there is a text copied from another site. As I am new to the Wikipedia, I would like someone to help me how to do things properly. Appreciated always. Please teach me or give me the links to how add coprighted material with an approval from the copright holder. Have a great day :)

Maronites reverts

Hi, I understand that you believe the words in the section headings of the Maronites article should be capitalized, but unless it is a proper word or the first word, words in headings are lowercase in Wikipedia articles. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Article titles, headings, and sections for WP's guidelines on these matters. Please discontinue reverting my restorations of the proper headings. Cheers --Al Ameer (talk) 19:17, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for the message Al Ameer regarding uppercasing the headers. Have a good day!

Copy and pasting

We run "copy and paste" detection software on new edits. One of your edits appear to be infringing on someone else's copyright. See also Wikipedia:Copy-paste. We at Wikipedia usually require paraphrasing. If you own the copyright to this material please follow the directions at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials to grant license.

Good morning Doc James, as you can tell I am still a beginner in the rules of Wikipedia. Formerly I have requested to be informed about the rules of how to quote from another text, and why would one have to add resource if quoting is not allowed. Please let me know how to quote from other pages, since I already add the resource in the end of the text. Would be thankful to request unblock and have it done since I am not furnished with the rules to do quoting. Have a great day :)

You were provided the list of rules a few times above. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:23, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Phoenix, Arizona, you may be blocked from editing. David J Johnson (talk) 11:02, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

David J Johnson what makes adding the country name to the city name disruptive editing, your improper description is uncleanly distorting the truth and disallowing the right of expression.
