Alexei Navalny article

You reverted the changes I made without even responding on the talk page. Had you done so, you would've seen that one of the links for the alleged "source" is dead and the other one is in Russian and has no attribution for the claims, no date of alleged broadcast, program or channel, etc. There is, in fact, no sourcing for the claim. Siberian Husky (talk) 13:59, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted this change you made because you removed a section that had two sources, that were both archived, with the reasoning "Removed unsourced section". If you want to question the reliability of given sources, you should provide references to either WP:RSP or provide a (good) source that states the opposite.

If you want to question the section, I think the best way forward is for you, not me, to initiate a discussion on the talk page of the article. I appreciate that this is a contentious topic that's seeing a lot of attention at the moment; on the article's talk page as well. JackTheSecond (talk) 15:23, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello JackTheSecond! Your additions to Draft:BBC German Service 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. You must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. 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 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 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. Our 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) 14:16, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing me to that. I reintroduced some things. Do check my work. ~ JackTheSecond (talk) 16:03, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What account do you think I should log in as?

I have been editing as an IP for over 20 years, and take offense to you removing my comment from ANI. Your removal did not follow policy. 12.75.41.85 (talk) 05:41, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your edit to a contentious ANI discussion, that you were not previously involved in, because your edit history doesn't show anything in the last 10 years. But I recognise that that wasn't in line with AGF. JackTheSecond (talk) 14:02, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
