August 2019 edit

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Azad Kashmir. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 01:03, 29 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • Dear Sir, the edits I have made are not vandalism and are purely facts as can be found in any history textbooks. According any sources, the AJK region is illegally occupied by Pakistan and called PoK Bodi123 (talk) 01:10, 29 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
    • Well ma'am, if that is the case, then please a. take this up on the article talk page, and b. provide the source for it. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 01:12, 29 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Welcome! edit

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

March 2020 edit

Please refrain from making edits like you did at 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Estonia article. Of course the COVID-19 originates from Wuhan, China, however, it did not get to Estonia directly from there. The virus got to Estonia from Italy, Iran and France, like it was previously written. You can also clearly read that from the timeline. A better edit would have for example been "Wuhan, China via Italy, Iran, France". Also, remember to add the link tags "[[]]".

March 2023 edit

  Hello, I'm DaxServer. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Race Gurram, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — DaxServer (t · m · c) 08:25, 26 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia and copyright edit

  Hello Bodi123! Your additions to Islamic Medical Association of North America 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) 00:31, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

hey diana, thanks for your message. I had added the source which was a published news article... Can you guide me on how to insert that information, or do it yourself so I can understand?
Thanks Bodi123 (talk) 01:39, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
It's great that you want to add a citation, but that's not the problem. The problem is that you copied text from the source webpage rather than writing your own content. You can't do that; copying from your sources is a violation of our copyright policy. If you need help with Wikipedia basics, please have a look at Help:Contents where there's links to tutorials and advice. You might consider a visit to the Teahouse, where editors experienced in helping new users are available to assist you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:34, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
