Your edit to International Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS 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. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. 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. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 15:40, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello. That's quite an interesting issue - I've added some information from ICW website, pages "History" and "Today", and now there's a copyright warning "Certain historical revisions of this page may meet criterion RD1 for revision deletion, as they contain significant copyright violations of http://www.icwglobal.org/north-america/our-organization/today". But it's just another page from their website. Marco Sapiega (talk) 15:49, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia cannot have text copied from other websites, even if it's just the organization's website, as that is still a copyright violation. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 15:54, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Please do not mark your edits as "minor" if they do not meet the criteria

Hi Marco Sapiega! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor 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.

Hello, Melcous. OK, thanks, I will check the rules once more. Marco Sapiega (talk) 12:17, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm CorbieVreccan. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Two-spirit 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. What you added was not a First Nations source, but looked to be some sort of Newage spells and such site, possibly commercial, and inappropriate for Wikipedia. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 22:39, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello. Thanks, I didn't notice it. Just found the website of their organisation and didn't perform the deep check. I will be more attentive. Marco Sapiega (talk) 07:02, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
