A tag has been placed on Regional Parallel Routes (South Africa) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://sharetransport.co.za/content/list-regional-sa-routes. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Onel5969 TT me 18:48, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Please stop

@TapticInfo: Thank you for your contributions, but please stop adding links and read WP:OVERLINK, because almost all of the links that you have added violate this guideline. Wretchskull (talk) 18:13, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Image tagging for File:Covid-19 vaccination in Africa (One Dose).svg

Thanks for uploading File:Covid-19 vaccination in Africa (One Dose).svg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Variants of SARS-CoV-2 into another page. 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, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. 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. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 15:10, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Okay sure TapticInfo (talk) 15:12, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! I've done it for you for a couple articles. An edit summary like this one will be fine for copying within Wikipedia. Hope that helps. DanCherek (talk) 15:27, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Okay, I understand now, Thanks TapticInfo (talk) 15:37, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
