There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.- RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 20:39, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Outlawz. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Shadow of the Starlit Sky 18:40, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello 174.89.100.11! Your additions to Kyoto 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. Please 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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 15:16, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I hope I will refrain from doing so. 174.89.100.11 (talk) 18:58, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Translating non-English wikipedia articles

Your update to Governor (China) is a mess. Among other things, you've used - nearly word for word - a machine-translated of the Chinese wikipedia article and failed to credit that article.

Read Help:Translation before trying this again. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 18:55, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ICC and Putin edits in foreign relations articles

Why am I against those additions?

Maintenance. There are lots of Russia-related foreign relations articles where similar notices might be appropriate. Then they must be handled again once the warrants are no longer relevant (the arrests happen, warrants are rescinded, Putin and co die, etc..)
Notability. For the most part, the warrants will have no impact on relations so the value is extremely limited (especially given point 1.)

Far better to wait until the warrant does make an impact. Like, a country actually makes the arrest, or Putin visits a country that could arrest him but doesn't and there are protests in the streets or something. That ensures those articles remain focused on what has mattered, rather than tracking every hiccup (which are a dime a dozen.) - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 18:04, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It’s not a race but thanks again. I got a question, are you good in math by any chance? 174.89.100.11 (talk) 19:55, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

April 2023

Welcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, content you added to Hypothetical dissolution of the Russian Federation appears to be a minority or fringe viewpoint, and appears to have given undue weight to this minority viewpoint, and has been reverted. To maintain a neutral point of view, an idea that is not broadly supported by scholarship in its field must not be given undue weight in an article about a mainstream idea. Feel free to use the article's talk page to discuss this, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. The viewpoint that USSR broke up into 12 countries rather than 15 is not supported by the mainstream sources. PaulT2022 (talk) 18:57, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
