Wikipedia:Copyright violations
Hello, Wikipedia:Copyright and Wikipedia:Copyright violations explains Wikipedia's policy related to copyright. Currently on the websites I listed, the images and text is copyrighted. All images and text added to Wikipedia, except very few fair use exceptions, must be free for everyone to use without restrictions. Adding the images and text here does not make the existing copyright go away. Please read the policy and see if they answer your questions. FloNight talk 14:08, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
My welcome and comments
Hello Jabez! The article is looking much better. It still has the problem of being written from one point of view. You need to understand that other users may edit the article and add text that points out the pitfalls of visting the area. Making articles POV is an important aspect of writing for WP.
I added my welcome and comments back to your talk (discussion) page. It is customary to leave notes from other people in place on your talk page. Once the page gets too long, you archive it. Your talk page is mainly a way that other users communicate with you. You may be surprised to learn that other editors read your talk page also. We do this to find out if a new user has been welcomed or if someone is helping them with an article. Sometimes several editors will have a friendly discussion on a user's talk page. (By the way, it is considered very bad form to remove warnings from your talk page.)
Don't bite the newbies is a important rule. More experienced editors help a new editor understand WP policies and guidelines. We offer alot of advice, hopefully in a friendly manner. FloNight talk 12:09, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- The article doesn't seem to be a copyright violation any longer, so I restored your last edit. Thank you for your contributions. :) // Pathoschild (admin / talk) 10:09, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
I think you need to work on making the article NPOV. --Spook (my talk | my contribs) 11:36, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- I'll look at the article and make comments on the talk page of the article. If an editor adds some thing that is not relevant, it is better to discuss it on the talk page before you remove it. Removing other people's comments can start edit wars. Best to get a third or fourth opinion rather than remove something it by yourself. FloNight talk 12:46, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your advice.
I just started to make the page, I will follow your suggestions, but let me understand the rules of the game. I really don't want to do something against them. I simply need the time to understand. Dmitriy A. Pitirimov
