Recent edit to John Gurda edit

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, John Gurda, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Wikipedia and copyright edit

  Hello RS9999, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Concussions in American football have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of 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 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. (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. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:00, 14 August 2017 (UTC)Reply


Hi:

Concussions in Football is not the same as Concussions in NFL Football , Concussions in Football is all football, youth, high school, semi pro, NFL, etc


Question: All MY work was deleted, how do I get it back to reword some of it? or is gone for good?

However, if the editor is going to disallow content... then I would not exert any additional effort

About 50% was reworded in my own words or use of a single copied sentence, yet it was deleted... Is there a general sense that you did not like the changes.


Most of the deaths are attributed to Head injuries. Not wearing appropriate head gear lead to 19 deaths in 1905.


Example: (Redacted)

Copyright infringement is treated seriously here. To retain your copies and then revise them would have the effect of rendering the product as legally a derivative and so a further infringement. It is necessary to rewrite in your own words before posting them here, we can not copy source text then revise it unless that source text has a compatible free license. We all agreed to not infringe by clicking "Save changes": see the line immediately above that button where it says "By saving changes, you agree to the Terms of Use, ..." Please take the time to understand the pages Diannaa has linked to above. LeadSongDog come howl! 17:21, 15 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

August 2017 edit

  Your addition to Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Draft:Around the Corner with John McGivern, and Concussion have been removed, as it appears you added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. This is your final warning. Further copyright violations will result in you being blocked from editing. Also, please review WP:MEDRS for acceptable sourcing for medical articles.Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:11, 16 August 2017 (UTC)Reply


What are you doing? deleting all this work?

This was all my own words?


If I copy a line and then reword the line in WIKI site is this what you are objecting to?

The copyright violations were reported by a bot and assessed by myself. Here is a link to one of the bot reports. Click on the "iThenticate report" link to view the overlap. There's been four such bot reports in the last two days, and additional copyright violations were found manually by myself. Almost everything you have added since you arrived has been copied from elsewhere online. Please don't do it any more or I will block you from editing. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 01:15, 16 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
