Usable references

Hello! I saw your change to synthetic radioisotope on recent changes of WikiProject Elements. I had to revert the change because the website used, Chemeurope encyclopedia, is a copy of Wikipedia. This means we would be citing ourselves. Other than that, I recommend to watch out for websites like Stackexchange that publish whatever a user writes without editorial control. Adding references is useful and a noble effort so keep up the great work otherwise!!! Recon rabbit 17:46, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'll try to find a different, more reliable website next time while citing. I add citations and expand short articles. Susbush (talk) 17:52, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Susbush! Your additions to Curvature 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 Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. NotAGenious (talk) 13:28, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

September 2024

Your edit to Non-ionizing radiation 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 information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. 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. — Diannaa (talk) 18:56, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can I atleast copy a small amount from the source? Susbush (talk) 01:50, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. If you must, quote. XabqEfdg (talk) 23:10, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paraphrasing? Susbush (talk) 01:31, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paraphrasing is not a good ides, as it tends to follow the source too closely. Summarize the material in your own words. See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing for details. — Diannaa (talk) 02:43, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't even paraphrase? Why? Susbush (talk) 11:36, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

it says in Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing: "Close paraphrasing without in-text attribution may constitute plagiarism, and when extensive (with or without in-text attribution) may also violate Wikipedia's copyright policy, which forbids Wikipedia contributors from copying an excessive amount of material directly from other sources." You should summarize rather than paraphrase. — Diannaa (talk) 13:12, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I'll just summarize then. Susbush (talk) 13:15, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And write info in my own words. Susbush (talk) 13:15, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cage Match is not reliable outside of match results

The content added to Delta used Cage Match for other information outside of match results. WP:PW/Sources has Cage Match listed with restricted reliability. The information given falls outside that guideline. The other source is being reviewed for reliability. 2001:8003:5130:2601:800B:B1C:E04B:33D0 (talk) 23:03, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Direct link

Please do not place redirection links when there is direct links as you did in the article Radar, this is inefficient and can leed to disambiguation pages. Pierre cb (talk) 13:10, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alleged BLP violations

There is nothing wrong with these edits that you reverted: [1] [2] and presumably others. If someone reverts you as I did asking "how?" the answer is not to revert again, but to explain why the edit is a BLP violation. As WP:UV explains, if you do not have a firm grasp of policy and you are using automated tools inappropriately, you will be blocked from editing. SmartSE (talk) 11:37, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But it says "possible unreferenced addition to BLP". Sorry for the inconvenience. Apologizing for alleged BLP violations. Electrou (formerly Susbush) (talk) 11:39, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The critical part is possible. SmartSE (talk) 11:42, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I actually saw some citations. Apologies for the inconvenience. Self-reverting my edits soon. Electrou (formerly Susbush) (talk) 11:42, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) :This is also very concerning and indicates that you do not understand what you are doing. Please stop using the tool right now. SmartSE (talk) 11:42, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I do understand. I'm reverting "unreferenced content". But I didn't realize it was actually sourced. Reverting the edit soon. Electrou (formerly Susbush) (talk) 11:44, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
