Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first — it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, AVSmalnad77 ^talk 07:48, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

May 2022[edit]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at African Union, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. M.Bitton (talk) 20:08, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello Fidelreyiz! Your additions to Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China 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. 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. DanCherek (talk) 15:03, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DanCherek Hello, can I add the source of the lyrics? Fidelreyiz (talk) 15:31, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but since the lyrics are not in the public domain, they shouldn't be added to the article. It's okay to summarize what sources have said about the song or its lyrics. DanCherek (talk) 15:32, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DanCherek I mean I will revert the Lyrics sction, and add the sources. Fidelreyiz (talk) 15:37, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've already removed the lyrics from the article and they shouldn't be re-added, but you're welcome to make further edits to that article. DanCherek (talk) 15:38, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DanCherek I made lots of edit and it's the first time I got a message like this! Fidelreyiz (talk) 15:39, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated. I just left the message above to let you know why I reversed your edits to that article and so you could let me know if you had any questions. DanCherek (talk) 15:41, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DanCherek Okay thanks anyway Fidelreyiz (talk) 15:42, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DanCherek I have a question: Tere are lots of lyrics we have on songs in Wikipedia. I added lyrics for people who wants to learn it. Why other lyrics not removed and mine is? Fidelreyiz (talk) 16:11, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In some cases, the lyrics are old enough to be in the public domain (the copyright laws around this vary by country and can also depend on when the composer died). If you see excessive non-free content or copyright violations in other articles, feel free to remove them. DanCherek (talk) 16:14, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violation at Debout Congolais[edit]

Your edit to Debout Congolais has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

August 2022[edit]

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 14:41, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
