AMD news in the ARM architecture article

Hi, I just reverted your addition of AMD/APU information to the ARM architecture article. AMD, with their x86 processors, have nothing to do with ARM (formerly 'Advanced RISC Machines') and their low-powered RISC processor cores, often found in mobile devices. I hope this was just an honest mistake. --Imroy (talk) 00:39, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ZDNet and copyright violations

I am going to undo the several additions you just made to a number of articles based on links to ZDNet. The first, biggest problem is that the additions you made are almost exact copies of the first line of the references themselves; this is definitely plagiarism and may well also be a copyright violation. Furthermore, those sentences didn't read like neutral encyclopedic contents, but were rather typical of journalism designed to interest the reader with a splashy phrase. When you add material to Wikipedia, you have to use your own words, not the words of your references. If you look to the Amazon Kindle article, you can see how I rewrote one of your additions. Additionally, I'm not actually certain that those articles meet our reliable sources guidelines; they're stored in the "News and Blogs" section of ZDNet, and blogs generally don't qualify as RS. I'm going to undo all of them, and then if you think the sources are reliable, you can re-add them in non-plagiarizing style; however, if any article editors think it's not a reliable source, you'll have to work that out on the article talk page. Qwyrxian (talk) 08:19, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just took a look at an earlier contribution of yours (this edit to Battery charger), and found the same problem as above. I'm now concerned that any significant addition you made may have the same type of problem with close paraphrasing. This is a very difficult issue for many new contributors to Wikipedia, so please don't be upset, but I want to help you improve this issue. First, the fact that you're including sources to verify the information you add is great--it's absolutely necessary that we know where information came from. The problem comes when you figure out how to get the information in those sources into a Wikipedia article. See, when we add to an article from a source, we need to make sure that we don't alter what the source means, but we absolutely have to alter how we explain what it means. Usually, this is done by summarizing the contents of our source--taking a 1 page news article and transforming it into a few sentences in a Wikipedia article. When we do that, we have to be careful not to use the same sentence structures, distinctive writing styles, or other aspects of the source in our article. If you look at how I rewrote that section of Battery charger (see this edit) I hope it becomes a little more clear the types of changing we have to do. As a side note, when we are incapable of changing something, or when our source uses unique wording that really captures the information in the best possible way, then the correct solution is to quote the source and attribute that quotation.

So, I could now go back and look through your contributions and "correct" the close paraphrasing problem in any of your past edits, but I think it would be helpful if you could try to do some of that yourself. Do you think that you could try doing this? At any time, if you have any questions, you're welcome to ask me (I'm watching this page, so I'll see it if you leave comments here). Qwyrxian (talk) 02:26, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Qwyrxian for your comments and insight. I took a look at the the edit to Battery charger and see how you altered the content to come across much more neutral. Over the next few days, I am going to be re-editing my edits with what you proposed. I will post comments here if I run into issues or have questions about how to re-phrase some stuff that may be too reliant on the journalist’s tones. Thanks for helping me through this.Smmgeek (talk) 16:30, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Qwyrxian, I tried to reword some of my edits to be more neutral - please see this edit to Intel. I wonder if I'm on the right track so that I could continue rephrasing my previous edits. Thanks. Smmgeek (talk) 00:54, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies for not seeing this earlier. That change was a great improvement; it definitely looks like your own words, rather than a copy of the cited article. Thanks! Let me know if you want me to review more or if you have other questions. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:04, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Qwyrxian for your reply. I'll keep working on reposting my previous edits and will let you know if I need help. Thanks again! Smmgeek (talk) 18:26, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Smmgeek! Your additions to Draft:Chi-Foon Chan 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) 23:20, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: OpenLight (January 2)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by BuySomeApples was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:OpenLight and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
