Copyright problem: Laura D'Oriano edit

  Hello Xurkitre! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Laura D'Oriano, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted material from other websites or printed works. This article appears to contain work copied from https://web.archive.org/web/20120326133255/http://levantineheritage.com/d'oriano.htm, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate your contributions, copying content from other websites is unlawful and against Wikipedia's copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are likely to lose their editing privileges.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

Otherwise, you may rewrite this article from scratch. If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Laura D'Oriano saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! — Diannaa (talk) 23:14, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

thank you for flagging that. it is unclear that the blog post is a copy paste from Italian, or german wikipedia, or from the book. i leave the copyright scholarship to you. --Xurkitre (talk) 18:23, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
You might be fine copyright wise but this is still troubling.
I believe you didn't copy the text from the German Wikipedia like you said you did, because there is not enough text there to explain the content of your article. Your article is a much closer match to the Italian Wikipedia. Where exactly did you copy it from, and why did you say you copied it from the German Wikipedia when you didn't?
If you did copy it from the Italian Wikipedia, then you should use {{translated page}} to avoid this happening again. MER-C 17:15, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
