Wikipedia and copyright

Hello ArmdS1989! Your additions to Gurzadyan theorem 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. 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. — Diannaa (talk) 15:12, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa,

I just wanted to bring your kind attention to the fact that ALL the added text is from the PUBLISHED quoted papers, as usually it is done in Wiki.

Meanwhile those papers have been already quoted in the thesis. In particular the ref [43] of the thesis is the paper which I used to add new parts to the Wiki article.

So, I would like to ask you to check and recover the added text. ArmdS1989 (talk) 22:58, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Under current copyright law, literary works are subject to copyright whether they are tagged as such or not. No registration is required, and no copyright notice is required. So please always assume that all material you find online is copyright. Adding copyright material to Wikipedia is a violation of our copyright policy. So I will not be restoring the removed text. — Diannaa (talk) 23:24, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Dear Diannaa,

Many thanks for your email and detailed explanation.

There is clear MISUNDERSTANDING, please see that the added piece absolutely follows the regulation "all material online is copyright".

Namely, please see that piece is from the published quoted paper:

V.G. Gurzadyan and A. Stepanian, "Cosmological constant as a fundamental constant", Eur. Phys. J. Plus (2019) 134: 98

DOI: [1]https://doi.org/10.1140/epjp/i2019-12532-3

That paper is also quoted in my own thesis (which also can be quoted if you find needed) but the ORIGINAL source is the published paper.

Again the aim is to absolutely follow the regulations.

Please have a look at the CopyPatrol report, which shows that the copied text is found in both places (https://doi.org/10.1140/epjp/i2019-12532-3 and http://training.hepi.tsu.ge/StructDoctProg/activities/sources/StepanianThesis.pdf). Both those documents are copyright, which means you can't copy from them into Wikipedia. — Diannaa (talk) 22:49, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
