Reverting

[edit]

I see you reverted two edits at Beheading video. It looks like you wanted to recover the list that was removed. First, I would ask that you don't try to restore content in this manner. You can look at the article's history, locate the revision that has the content you wish to re-add, copy it, and then paste that text into the current revision. That way, you don't undo copy edits and content additions made after that point. Reverting edits should be reserved for when there is no salvageable content. Second, please take a look at the talk page. A discussion there has begun over whether the list should be included. If you want to keep the list in the article, then you should join the conversation and say so. Wordlessly reverting the article does not do much to establish consensus. If you have further questions or would like help, you can leave a message on my talk page. Or you could try the teahouse, a welcoming and friendly forum for beginners.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on File:List of hostages held by ISIS.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/10/24/world/middleeast/the-fate-of-23-hostages-in-syria.html?_r=0. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
