A Wikipedia welcoming gift!

Hi Klangen82, and welcome to Wikipedia! This encyclopedia is a vibrant community of people who work to make information free to everyone. Thank you for signing up to help. I have a page that may help you as you learn how to edit here: User:Dswitz10734/Editor Resources. Also, you might want to check out this page that is more comprehensive and detailed. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page or the the teahouse, a friendly environment where senior editors work to help anyone who has questions. Thank you again for volunteering to help out, and I'll see you around! Dswitz10734 (talk) 17:25, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Control copyright icon Hello Klangen82! Your additions to ONVIF 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. 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.
  • 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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 21:51, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Diannaa Sorry I did not know about the copy/paste issue as and I'm new to Wikipedia. I see that you did not revert back to the page before I started my edits and as a result the page have gone into a worse state then it was before I started to edit it:( Is there any way I can see my edits and change the wording into my own, right now they are greyed out and I cannot see them? I want to create a good page for Onvif so my intent was not to make it worse then it's now. Klangen82 (talk) 10:34, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless of the copyright issue, the content you added is not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. You wouldn't find it in a traditional encyclopedia— Diannaa (talk) 13:52, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Understood, but could you please answer my question? The info about the different profiles and different membership levels makes sense to me to have in a encyclopedia, so I would like to write something about this. Klangen82 (talk) 14:21, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have emailed you the content I removed. None of it is usable in its present form.— Diannaa (talk) 15:59, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks and could you please email the section about Profiles as well? To be honest I don't know why you removed this, as it was not written by me. I just added new profile to the existing list. As Onvif are built on profiles this is a important part of the info for readers.Klangen82 (talk) 08:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
