Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Gurjit mehroke, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Talk:Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale 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. DBigXrayᗙ 20:23, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Requests at Talk:Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale‎

Gurjit mehroke, I understand your distress but you need to read this: Your repeated requests are disruptive. Please do not post this request again.

It has been examined by many others and rejected because you want us to do something we can't. You are obviously not reading the policy links you've been given so I'll say this simply: This place has rules. Your request breaks these rules.

You are also obviously not comfortable using English. Competence is required to edit the English Wikipedia. This means both reading and communicating comfortably in English and listening to advice you are being given. You are consistently mis-reading the article and asking us make it stop saying something it doesn't say, for example. This suggests you don't understand the difference between what the article says and what you think it says.

There are many other Wikipedias in many other languages. I suggest that you look through that list. There is undoubtedly one that you are more comfortable communicating in. I hope this helps. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 17:03, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
