Hello, KellyChen0221! Welcome to Wikipedia! It appears that you are here to participate in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we highly encourage you to go through our training page that's specifically created and catered for students such as yourself:

If you need help, check out Wikipedia's page for questions. You can also ask me by visiting my user talk page and leaving a message, or you can ask your question on this page by editing it and placing {{Help me}} before your question. Please make sure that you sign your messages on discussion pages, which is done by entering four tildes (~~~~) at the very end of it; this will automatically insert your username and the date. I also highly recommend that you review the advice for students page.

Before you create an article, make sure that you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one, please tell your instructor about creating one. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know that the article is a subject of an educational assignment as well as aid your communication with them.

Here are some more pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page (editing policy)
• Introduction to Wikipedia
• Help pages index
• Visual editor tutorial
• Wikitext tutorial (if you're choosing to edit pages using the Wikitext source code instead of the VisualEditor)
• Wikitext cheatsheet

While editing:

• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Be bold, but do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• Provide reliable sources to the content you add. If you are adding biomedical information, please follow this guideline.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay with us as a member of the community - even after your assignment is finished. Your time, energy, and your contributions will be highly valued and appreciated among us.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello KellyChen0221! Your additions to Potala Palace Square 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, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:18, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

@Diannaa I cannot find any content at https://www.chinawiki.net/thread/48/22696.html . The name of this website is suspicious. This student is in my class and has an assignment to translate the Chinese article on this topic to English. Can you check if this is not a false report - I suspect the page linked may contain machine translated content from Chinese Wikipedia with a false claim of copyright. If this is the case, we may need to blacklist that site both as a soruce as a mirror for the copyvio reports. _{Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here} 07:39, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

I agree it looks a lot like a false positive, and I did check for that, but the Chinese article on this topic, which is according to the language link is zh:布达拉宫广场, has none of this content. When copying/translating from one Wikipedia to another, it's important to say in an edit summary where the content came from. In fact it's required under the terms of the license. There's also an optional template {{translated page}} for the talk page. If you can find out please what article was copied/translated I would be happy to make repairs. Thanks,-- -- Diannaa (talk) 13:17, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

@Diannaa Thanks. I will wait for the student to explain the issue to us here - where did the now-removed content originated from? And yes, Diannaa, you are correct, the Chinese article is very short too. The French is longer - could this have been translated from French? fr:Place de la libération pacifique du Tibet _{Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here} 02:14, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Hanyangprofessor2: The content I removed is not a match for anything present at the French article.

If you would like to view the removed content for yourself, go to the CopyPatrol report. Log in to CopyPatrol (upper right corner), and the iThenticate link will be revealed. Click on that, and you will be asked to agree with Turnitin's terms of service, and then the comparison report will load. The reports sometimes are slow to load. -- Diannaa (talk) 02:57, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
