Dominic Pezzola

[edit]

Hi. Your your edit to Dominic Pezzola was reverted, because you did not indicate a source for the material you added. I know you don't edit here that often, but since you've been doing so since 2014, you should know that the inline citations that accompany that material you add to articles must indicate the source from which that material is derived. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be supported by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the citations, as explained here. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks.

Control copyright icon Hello Voicecalls! 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. Please 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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Tails Wx 00:38, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message. I am learning as I go and will make sure I follow your guidance. I would never want to be blocked as an editor.!! Inline citation - I am still getting used to it and it would take me a few days to get up to speed with inline citations. Takes times to understand new concepts.

Hi Tails,
I am slowly getting the hang of it and trying to steer clear of copyright violations.
I made edits to George Santos page and would like you to review it when you get a chance. I would not ask you to review each edit but wanted to double check I am not breaking any rules. Let me know.
Appreciate your help! Voicecalls (talk) 20:48, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
