Misplaced Pages and copyright

Hello Berocca Addict, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Your additions to Conal Gallen have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Misplaced Pages, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• 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 Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Misplaced Pages.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Misplaced Pages. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Misplaced Pages articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Misplaced Pages project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Misplaced Pages:Translation#How to translate. See also Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages.

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. Moneytrees🏝️ 14:05, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

As per WP:A/I/PIA

500/30 Rule: All IP editors, users with fewer than 500 edits, and users with less than 30 days' tenure are prohibited from editing content within the area of conflict. On primary articles, this prohibition is preferably to be enforced by use of extended confirmed protection (ECP) but this is not mandatory. On pages with related content, or on primary articles where ECP is not feasible, the 500/30 Rule may be enforced by other methods, including page protection, reverts, blocks, the use of pending changes, and appropriate edit filters. Reverts made solely to enforce the 500/30 Rule are not considered edit warring.

Please don't edit about the I/P conflict --Shrike (talk) 16:38, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

You were told not to edit about the conflict. Such edits are forbidden ,.Untill you reach 500 edits. Next transgression will be reported to admins without warning --Shrike (talk) 17:00, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Mohammed Dahlan is likewise covered. nableezy - 19:16, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Dahlan's relationship with the I/P conflict is not touched, his relationship with Turkey is not the I/P conflict. Berocca Addict (talk) 19:38, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

The entire article is in the topic area. You cant edit any of it. Further, the sources you are introducing to a BLP are well below our minimum standard. Kindly work on less heated articles so that you get a better understanding of our policies on sourcing and neutrality. nableezy - 21:29, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

April 2021

Please do not add defamatory content to Misplaced Pages, as you did to Brian Rose (podcaster), especially if it involves living persons. Thank you. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:21, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Verifiable, sourced true items are not defamatory.. please use the talk page before reverting Berocca Addict (talk) 13:26, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Firstly read wp:blp, then WP:ONUS, its down to you to get wp:consensus for inclusion, then read wp:v, just because somethng can be verified does not mean it must be included. Then we have wp:undue.Slatersteven (talk) 13:29, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly., and over something so sill will not go well.Slatersteven (talk) 13:26, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Slatersteven (talk) 13:58, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Port Laoise

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Misplaced Pages has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Misplaced Pages:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Port Laoise Courthouse

Hi - You seem to have moved this article without any process or discussion whatsoever. It would have been courtesy to at least discuss any proposed move with the original author of the article first. I note that your attempt to move the article on Port Laoise has been reverted and any such move is still under discussion. It would have been more appropriate to wait until that discussion had been concluded before doing anything on the courthouse article. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 15:17, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

This isn't a matter of interpretation - the court house in Portlaoise calls itself Portlaoise Courthouse. It was misnamed. Whatever the merits of having the name of the town in Wiki be the lesser used 'Port Laoise', having a name that differs from the name the court itself uses (or indeed all media, Department of Housing, court records and Council records) is simply wrong. Berocca Addict (talk) 16:07, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

I simply ensured that the article name was consistent with the article for the town where extensive previous discussions resulted in it being entitled Port Laoise. Which, in my view, was the right and proper thing for me to do in the circumstances. You may think that I am wrong, but that does not allow you to ignore process and discussion. Best wishes, Dormskirk (talk) 17:21, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Al Qaswa moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Al Qaswa, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

August 2021

Your edit to Killing of Sophie Toscan du Plantier has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Misplaced Pages without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Misplaced Pages. For legal reasons, Misplaced Pages 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. Misplaced Pages takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Misplaced Pages:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa (talk) 11:43, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions notification

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jason Aldean, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages The Hill and Good Old Boys.
