Wikipedia and copyright

Hello 68.196.72.173, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Whiteboard 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. (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) 11:43, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive and unsourced editing on the article History of WWE. It has been agreed to call the period Universe Era as per consensus on talk page and also have reliable source. If you continue such disruptive behavior you will be reported. Thank you! Dilbaggg (talk) 15:33, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Before you scold me with threats and say I added unsourced info when "Universe" era was already unsourced as it was, please do your research. Never has this timeframe in WWE ever been referred to as the "Universe" era by WWE themselves. Meanwhile they have made many referenced to it being the "PG Era" before, some of which I have added as evidence in the "Talk" section of the article in question. In addition, the article had PG Era listed for many, many years beforehand with no issue until recently. Take care.

Sources were provided naming it the Universe Era, as well as WWE 2k Vidoe games. The pg era name was a criticism of fans, tv ratings do not determine an era. It was there many years, but also all those years people tried to change the name, you can look back the edit history. I myself opposed the cahnge then due to lack of reliable sources, but now that there are reliable sources I have accepted the change. It was agreed as per consensus on this discuss [1]. Please provide a reliable source calling that particular period the pg era and discuss on article talk page showing the source. if you are able to show the reliable source your edit will not be reverted next time. Also keep in mind WP:EW policies and the three revert rule, violating WP:EW may result in three revert rule. I am giving you the cchance to provide a WP:PW/RS on the talk page discussion. Kindly cooperate: [2]. Thank you. Dilbaggg (talk) 03:10, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page History of WWE has been reverted.
Your edit here to History of WWE was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links in references which are discouraged per our reliable sources guideline. The reference(s) you added or changed (https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/7fi4xw/wwe_recognizes_the_reality_era_20142016_as_a_thing/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 20:38, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, please ignore this notice.

You have continued your drisruptive editing, removed sourced information and used unsourced materials and contents from redit which do not fit WP:RS and WP:PW?RS guidelines despite my previous warning and the warning of XLinkBot, thus you will be reported. Dilbaggg (talk) 00:01, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

I have no idea what you mean by disruptive. I have added sources as YOU requested and also removed completely unnecessary material to the article which didn't fit the timeline. The "Reality Era" began in early 2014 as per WWE themselves yet all sorts of information from the PG Era in 2013 is within that portion of the article. If the reddit source is no good I apologize. I did not see anywhere anyone saying it was not a good enough source. I will add a BETTER source now from wwe themselves which is here below. Sorry.

A video game is not only not a very reliable source in my opinion, but often times they make up their own things which do not apply to the actual real product. In addition, WWE.com is a 100x more reliable source than a "Visual Concepts" (the company that makes the game)

You are adding WP:PRIMARY sources. Notice all of the other listings either have their own article; those articles include secondary sources. The_Binding_of_Isaac:_Rebirth includes sources from IGN, etc. If you want to add entries to that list, they should ideally have their own article, or if they don't have their own article yet, they should include secondary sources indicating that they have some level of notability.

There is no reason why that should not be considered an unreliable source as it is from WWE themselves. Speaking of unreliable sources someone has added a source from "DeviantArt.com" with some sort of fan made photo lol. Somehow that is ok?

Also, my editing of this article took a lot of time and effort and it has been deleted. Can it somehow be reversed? The portion of the article in question is a mess. I am unsure if you are the actual moderator of the article or not. Forgive i'm not too familiar with how Wikipedia moderators work. Perhaps I can speak to the actual person in charge. There is no reason why information from 2013 should be within the Reality Era which began in early 2014 as per WWE themselves. Again I apologize. I will add the new source from wwe.com with your permission.
