Control copyright icon Hello Laurent de Lyon, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Jewish Supremacism: My Awakening to the Jewish Question has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without 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 a cited source. 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. Two points - one is that we can only use about 220 words from any one source. Secondly, you copied directly with no quotation marks. Thank you. Doug Weller (talk) 10:20, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Stormfront (website), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Doug Weller (talk) 11:48, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Stormfront (website), you may be blocked from editing. Your edit summary was misleading as it suggested you removed only material about Breivik, and did that despite the fact that the New York Times source said he was a Stormfront user (which so far as I can see means member, someone registered to use the website - Stormfront isn't an organisation but a website/forum) The material about the SPLC study was sourced not just to the SPLC but to other clearly reliable sources. Doug Weller (talk) 11:54, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've replied at the article's talk page. Your comment about Breivik being banned is irrelevant to the fact that you removed material that isn't just reliable sourced, but sourced to several independent reliable sources (one mention in a reliable source isn't necessarily enough to support inclusion in an article).
