Welcome![edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Shoji Nishio, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

If you still have questions, there is the Teahouse, or you can click here to ask a question on your talk page and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

Thanks for the guidelines, I appreciate it. Tamle2nd (talk) 23:17, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So I guess it's really about not paraphrasing enough, isn't it? Most the content deleted was public information. Tamle2nd (talk) 12:21, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Publicly available" content still enjoys copyright protection. Content you add to Wikipedia needs to be written in your own words. — Diannaa (talk) 14:41, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think information regarding born-dead year and final ranking/occupation of particular people cannot really be copyrighted, right? Tamle2nd (talk) 02:54, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Information is not protected by copyright, but prose is. Rankings, occupations, names of schools, job titles, date of birth, date of death, and the like do not have to be re-worded. — Diannaa (talk) 13:44, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I want to write a Vietnamese version of Shoji Nishio. Do I need to use Vietnamese sources? His Aikido style is not very popular in Vietnam so there is very little content in Vietnamese about him or his style. Tamle2nd (talk) 10:24, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
