Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Herbert Mahler, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to List of wolf attacks have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

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 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 designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 can, but please follow the steps in 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) 14:03, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The List of wolf attacks is overloaded and now -- I don't know why the "Details" column has changed and doesn't work properly anymore. I 'm not the creator of this list but I added a lot of cases but on this field of wolf attacks there is a lot of vandalism from wolf people who try to suppress the truth and threaten people who just look for the facts. Still I hope that somebody is able to fix these issues because actually there are much more cases to add but anyway this list will always remain incomplete due to the nature of the subject, which is really international. I already thank you so much just only for being part of this wonderful project Wikipedia. It 's really great whether my problems should be solve or not. Have a great time , Herbert

I agree the list is overloaded - but you heavily contributed to that, more than doubling the list's length. I rather doubt many of those attacks are significant enough to be mentioned in an encyclopedia. In fact, for some I doubt it's accurate to call them "wolf attacks". I'm not sure what the problem with the "Details" column is supposed to be; I checked various older versions of the page and it looks the same (and pretty normal) to me. How should it "work"? Huon (talk) 01:43, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Huon,

Thank you very much for your respond. Indeed I think that the column problem , I faced, was a problem of the web browser I used. So I 'm sorry for bothering you. About the content of the list I have to ask you which cases you are doubt about to be true. I try to work accurate when I add a new case with its references but because of the nature of the list besides governmental reports and reports from international journals their are also references from normal daily newspapers from many different countries.. In this case especially if it is a foreign magazine I always try to find more than one source.So if you can find any false information in the list or any fake news please report it immediately so that the list can be improved and be a mirror of reality. And if you can find more cases of wolf attacks with strong enough references please contribute also in this way. Because the attacks are only reports in the local parts of media it isn't easy to find them . But now I have another issue . Somebody deleted some content of the "Details" column with this reasoning - " "Notes" mean a brief summary, not an article nor details.", but actually the column is called "Details". So it 's kind of irrational. How should I react to this deleting action without any improvement of the list? Thank you already for your efforts and your patience with me who is a dilettante in using internet media . Take care of yourself , best wishes and thank you very much. Herbert Mahler (talk)
