[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Electric Light Orchestra, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:16, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Mitch. Your recent edit(s) to the page Las Vegas Strip appears to have added incorrect information, so it has been removed for now. Here and here are two sources. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ` by the way nice to meet you ~mitch~ (talk) 23:17, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
Look
[edit]You can not just show up two weeks ago and think you can go around and change shit to the way you think it should be. We have rules and guidelines and if you don't start listening to experienced editors and learning how things work around here you going to get yourself blocked. Just some friendly advice, the ball is in your court. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 01:59, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
Darn, so rude. This is definitely not friendly advice the way you put it. Also, isn't that what editors are supposed to do? It seems like that's what you do since you don't like it when other editors change things to something you don't like personally. Also, don't editors edit things to look better and correct? You should work on your manners. DaFuze164 (talk) 02:08, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
- Well I tried (just like right here please review WP:INDENT, but I forgot you already know everything) Good luck with your tenure here. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 02:11, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
- User is operating as a sock of KillerGhost so their "knowing everything" is understandable. Robvanvee 04:43, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
?? Here you are again with your false statements... -_- DaFuze164 (talk) 04:51, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]Hello DaFuze164, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Hotel Apache 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. (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 the 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 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 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.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:20, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
