copyright issues[edit]
Hello Vinicruzat, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Glutamine has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or 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 a cited source. 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 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 designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 can, but please follow the steps in 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. Jytdog (talk) 10:42, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Vinicius - you emailed me, saying that the content you copied was from this article, and saying "The copyrights are mine, the paper is open access since we paid to be like that." It is true that the paper is [

WP:SELFCITE and use of primary sources[edit]
Hi Vinicruzat, and again, welcome to Wikipedia. Sorry to have reverted your edits, but there were problems with both chunks. In this message, I'd like to address a couple of things.
- First, you appear to be an expert in amino acids and nutrition, which is really great. We need experts here, and greatly value them. However, when experts come to Wikipedia, they have their own special challenges. Please do read our essay to help experts get setttled here - WP:EXPERT. Please pay special attention to the last bullet point there, and especially its link to our Conflict of Interest (COI) guideline. In that guideline, please be sure to read the section on writing about yourself and your work. Per that guideline, you should not cite your own work. If you are reverted, let others decide if the material should be inluded in WP or not.
- Second, for content related to health, the guideline for sourcing content, is WP:MEDRS. Per MEDRS (and per all our content guidelines), content should be sourced from independent secondary sources. For health content, secondary sources are reviews in the biomedical literature, and statements by major medical and scientific bodies. Please be sure to read WP:MEDRS and follow it when you edit content about health. (your review, is indeed a secondary source, which is great)
- Please consider joining WP:WikiProject Medicine, a group within WIkipedia that works to improve and maintain the quality of articles about health in Wikipedia.
I am "watching" this talk page, so if you'd like to ask me any questions, I would be happy to help! Best regards. Jytdog (talk) 10:52, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
This is very controversial. I will not contribute again in the same way, as well any financial contribution. I just don't care anymore. Good luck wikipedia.
