Help me! edit

Please help me with... I cannot add a video about the port of Luanda on the page about Angola. DiogoC300 (talk) 19:09, 22 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

DiogoC300, How so? What exactly are you trying to add? If you're trying to link to a YouTube video, that won't fly, as those videos are copyrighted. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 19:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

  One of your recent additions has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder.

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.

Reliability edit

Could we get you to read over Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Will try to save/source as much of your additions as I can....but be aware much might be removed due to WP: mirror and unreliable sources.--Moxy 🍁 21:40, 29 June 2020 (UTC) Why?Reply

Help me! edit

Please help me with...

I made an edition of the article about Angola in the chapter on Economy, I already made this edition a few hours ago. However, now the content I added was deleted and they did not give me any explanation of why they deleted my edition.

The text you added was a copyright violation. You cannot copy and paste text into articles. You must paraphrase content from reliable sources, and put it in your own words. If you continue to copy and paste text you will have your editing privileges revoked. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 18:14, 30 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

But I didn't copy anything from anyone. I think... Do you think you could tell me the part I copied and pasted? Thanks, Diogo

@Moxy: @CaptainEek: I actually was unable to immediately identify a copyrighted source. Can anyone provide it, please? El_C 19:39, 1 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Moxy, CaptainEek, I'm not going to ping both of you again, but I do see that you're both active. If I don't receive an answer by the end of the day, I'll just expedite DiogoC300's confirmation so that they could edit the protected page. El_C 14:58, 2 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Since there were no responses, I'll be expediting DiogoC300's confirmation. DiogoC300, you'll now be able to edit the semiprotected page. Good luck. El_C 10:53, 4 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thanks.

Proposed deletion of Patrick Schmidt (congressional candidate) edit

 

The article Patrick Schmidt (congressional candidate) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not much SIGCOV beyond his campaign announcement coverage, which many, many non-notable candidates get.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/she) 22:44, 9 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
