Sockpuppet investigation

edit
 

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Michel Sher, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

What happened? Jeremi AI (talk) 18:05, 19 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
Somebody called Michel Sher has been using multiple accounts (all of which were blocked), and you've joined Wikipedia and immediately written about something that they were writing about, in the same style. Click through to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Michel_Sher for more details and to explain what's going on. --McGeddon (talk) 18:09, 19 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
I study cults. More than 5 years. I do not know who and what wrote before me. Now I work with scientific articles Massimo Introvigne and Eileen Barker. I was approached by journalists, one of the South African media, asking them to help understand the problem that exists today in Cape Town. I prefer to work only with authoritative sources. In Wikipedia i am really a beginner. But I can not answer for the mistakes of people I do not know. And I think this is absolutely objective. If you have suggestions on how to make the article better, I will gladly take note of it. I will also be grateful for the help in creating the next articles. I think I answered all the questions. If there are no other questions, please remove this label becouse i cannt to continue working. Jeremi AI (talk) 12:20, 20 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Hello Jeremi AI, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Conjunction fallacy have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • 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 can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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) 14:15, 28 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
