Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Brat Forelli! Your additions to Acts of Union 1707 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. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. 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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 21:15, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

I also found copyright problems in West Ukrainian People's Republic. Please don't add copyright material to Wikipedia. — Diannaa (talk) 21:31, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Change to publication year

Can you please explain why, in your revision of 14:13, 11 May 2023, you changed the publication year for Kennedy's biography of Saint Francis from 2005 to 2004? Thank you. Fabrickator (talk) 08:52, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello! Yes, I expanded the "Religion" section of this page, and initially wrote 2005. However, in the "Selected works" section, I saw that 2004 was given as the publication year of this biography, so I changed it to be consistent with that. Brat Forelli (talk) 09:12, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Article you might be interested in

Hi @Brat Forelli. Not sure if you remember me but I gave you the Saints barnstar a little while ago.

As it seems you've got something of an interest in the interplay between religion (particularly Catholicism) and politics/society, I thought I'd bring another article to your attention that you might like to work on. Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence has major WP:Tone concerns, and I think it fails to be a cohesive whole, rather than just a stream of information.

I've done a bit of work on it (and plan to do some more), but any help would be appreciated. Tomorrow and tomorrow (talk) 02:31, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I do remember you! Thank you for the suggestion, I'm currently expanding Relations between the Catholic Church and the state as it only had rather very questionable claims about the church, but it also had no sources. Unfortunately, the relations between the Church and historical regimes are a very expansive topic and I keep finding tons of books about it. But I'll get there eventually, I already wrote a lot.

I worked a bit on the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, just as you asked me to - not sure if this helps though. If my edit was unhelpful or you believe I need to do better, let me know! Brat Forelli (talk) 12:42, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for the response.

Yes, I've seen your work on Relations between the Catholic Church and the state, that's awesome. I've actually raised the idea of merging that article into Catholic Church and politics here [1]. I'd love to get your thoughts on that, but no stress.

Edits on Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were great, thank you so much. I'll just keep an eye on that page going forwards, so I can try and keep it NPOV. Tomorrow and tomorrow (talk) 01:15, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Brat Forelli! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Slavic Union that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. --Stultiwikia^{text me} 17:18, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the information! I will be taking this into account from now on! <3 Brat Forelli (talk) 17:42, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

1993 Polish parliamentary election

Hello. Re your addition of more detailed Senate results, did you get them by collating the figures in the NEC report to get the numbers you just added to the results table, or did you copy the numbers from the pl.wiki article assuming they were from the NEC? Election Passport has a tabularised version of the NEC report, and the numbers it has (which I am collating at the moment) are different to those on pl.wiki. For example, it has a total of 2,683,085 for Solidarity, which matches the Nohlen & Stöver total.

I was also really confused by how you got the numbers you added previously (e.g. 2,578,885 votes for the SLD), as they are not in the NEC source cited. Where did they come from? Cheers, Number 57 14:11, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Greetings. I am sorry for the confusion caused, I have been writing/expanding articles for 1990s Polish political parties recently and thought it might have been a mistake.

I will leave it then, maybe add a text in the future that explains the situation that took place in the Senate election, should I find a reliable source.

The numbers I previously added were my attempt at tallying up the votes from the NEP thing, with the assumption that if it says "Głosów ważnych oddano 13 985 535" then I would need to get exactly that amount of votes.

Thank you for your help and sorry for any trouble! Brat Forelli🦊 14:18, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

No worries. I managed to collate the details from the NEC source (which was reproduced in copyable format elsewhere) and added it to the article. Cheers, Number 57 16:40, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

First Self-Governance League

Hello! In the article First Self-Governance League, you've added that it ran as "Pszczyńskie Porozumienie Samorządowe", however that doesn't seem correct as Ryszard Ziobro ran from "Liga Samorządowa Ziemi Pszczyńskiej". Could you verify this? Thanks, CrimsonCube (talk) 16:39, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

2001 Polish parliamentary election

Thanks for expanding the Senate results table, but could you provide a source? If someone checks the only source listed, they won't find some of the parties in it, and may assume the figures are made-up. Cheers, Number 57 21:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
