Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Vacosea! Your additions to Raven Industries 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, 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 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. 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. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• 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 either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• 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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:29, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Diannaa, is there a way to send me a copy of what was rolled back? Most of my edits did not come from the source you disagreed with [1]. I can remove or rephrase those parts and send you a draft version first. Vacosea (talk) 21:38, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Diannaa, some of these are difficult to rephrase completely. Can we try the * versions?

  Hello Vacosea. I see you attempted to ping me, but pings only work if you sign the post that contains the ping.

  "to build research balloons for the United States Navy" is okay.

  Near-space altitudes are not defined as 100,000 to 150,000 feet. The definition is 20 and 100 km above sea level (65616.8 feet to 328,084 feet). Once you omit the phrase "near space altitudes" there's no reason for further change. You can use "for altitudes from 100,000 to 150,000 feet" which is the usual format for this type of numeral.

  I already replaced the content about Alphabet Inc with an acceptable version, so we don't need yours, which is not as good. — Diannaa (talk) 00:16, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Got it. Thanks. Vacosea (talk) 05:14, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

I'm thinking that your edit on RM from BTS was worth while, and I found some new quotes from his 2023 trip to Spain to quote about the scheduled separation for BTS and reunion. Maybe take a look to see if you can improve on the added edit on the RM page. This is the article here : [2] ErnestKrause (talk) 17:45, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing me to the article. I have added some information from the past two years as well as a couple more sources. Vacosea (talk) 07:33, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Wpscatter. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Korean cuisine, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. WPscatter ^t/_c 05:04, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

I had to change from the original source. More on your talk page. Vacosea (talk) 05:19, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
