editHello Boihassany! Your additions to Bobby Charlton 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, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:
- Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
- Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
- Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
- Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 22:22, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Bridge, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Food additive, you may be blocked from editing. ... and at Physiology, among other articles. Your edit summaries are the same for each article, and do not represent the changes made. The source you have added is not appropriate for the encyclopedia. Please slow down, read WP:MOS, and be more careful. Zefr (talk) 19:13, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Slovene language. Reddit is not a reliable source Paris1127 (talk) 19:58, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
A word of advice
editHello @Boihassany, for starters welcome on Wikipedia. I am writing to you here in order to encourage you to familiarize yourself with how things are done here, because I can see that all your edits so far are in one way or another not there. This is going to result in your edits being constantly reverted, and to avoid some frustration for you and additional work for other editors, I would advise you to do some reading before continuing to edit pages for now. I see that some useful advice was already given to you higher up on this page. If you need me to point you towards resources feel free to answer my message here or ask me on my talk page.
