Welcome!
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Gennady Zyuganov 2000 presidential campaign, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
- Copying text from other sources
- Policy on copyright
- Frequently asked questions on Wikipedia's copyright policy
- Policy and guideline on non-free content
If you still have questions, there is the Teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

editHello, I'm Praxidicae. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. PICKLEDICAEš„ 17:20, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Praxidicae, thank you for your note. Would you mind pointing out which contribution that was and any non-objective, non-neutral language I used so that I may avoid this in the future? Thank you! Ltb94 (talk) 13:29, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- Sure [1], [2] for starters. PICKLEDICAEš„ 18:52, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- Got it, thank you. Maybe we can add some downsides to Subscription aggregators to balance out the benefits? I'm trying to learn from and mimic the structure of the existing paragraphs in the News Aggregator article. Ltb94 (talk) 15:18, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
