Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello Julian Khachan, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.

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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
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 Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:33, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I removed content from Pygmy blue whale that you directly copied and pasted from the source. You can not do that. You need to paraphrase what the source says in your own words. ~ GB fan 11:24, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What you did isn't enough. All you did was copy and paste the content and then change a few words, change the order of sentences and the order of words in the sentences. You need to start from scratch and use your own words. On another note that source is about the Blue whale not the Pygmy blue whale. ~ GB fan 11:50, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Circular references[edit]

Thanks for contributing to the article St Joseph's Catholic College. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you. Kuru (talk) 16:06, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Julian. It appears that since this warning, you've added references to mirrors four more times: [1], [2], [3], [4]. Please read the links I've given you above - specifically WP:RS as you're also attempting to use blogs and forums as references. If you're confused about why using mirrors are a bad idea, or if you're unable to tell the difference, please contact me asap and I can give you more detailed feedback. In most cases here, it's pretty obvious - if the site credits "Wikipedia" or "the Wikimedia Foundation", then do not use the link. Kuru (talk) 14:37, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

National varieties of English[edit]

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Wikipedia:Protection policy, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. ~ GB fan 03:41, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Stop, please[edit]

Stop abusing the sandboxes. General Ization ^Talk 03:43, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

December 2018[edit]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Trab. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. You added yet another circular reference, which explicitly said "from Wikipedia", after Kuru's explanations above. bonadea contributions talk 08:19, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Retired

This user is no longer active on Wikipedia.

Why are you quitting? You just need to learn from your mistakes and the feedback you receive. ~ GB fan 12:18, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively. It has been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent abuse.

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.

Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.

TonyBallioni (talk) 00:10, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Julian Khachan (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

This is not a sockpuppet account. However, the other accounts are sockpuppets. The sockpupeteer is someone who shares my IP address.The sockmaster account is: Edward_Li1234. That's them ( they told me that they would troll on wikipedia.) Julian Khachan (talk) 09:17, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Here, you are admitting to WP:MEAT. Note also that your statement is deliberately misleading. The relationship is closer than just sharing an IP address. Yamla (talk) 11:15, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
