Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Zoran Milanović into Social Democratic Party of Croatia. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 00:30, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing that out! I'm still very new to this, I read that somewhere in the guides but completely forgot about it. I would have added it immediately, but has it been fixed already by you?. CroatiaElects (talk) 09:08, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

yes. — Diannaa (talk) 22:53, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

hi! a question about this, does copying a single citation/reference from another article count in this as well? CroatiaElects (talk) 13:48, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

You only need to provide atribution if you copy prose that someone else wrote. A citation or reference contains no creative content; therefore attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 16:32, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello CroatiaElects! Your additions to The Bridge (Croatia) 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, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. Read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on ”text”. Additionally, Help:Referencing for beginners offers guidance on how to cite sources.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words and structure it properly, adhering to the principles of paraphrasing. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources to verify the information and demonstrate that it is not original research.
• Image use guidelines: 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. Any other images used on Wikipedia must be available under a free and open copyright license that permits commercial and derivative reuse.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. However, unlike many other sites that allow content licensing for site use while retaining non-free ownership, Wikipedia requires that content release be irrevocable, worldwide, and either into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without proper attribution. If you want to copy or translate content from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps outlined at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:18, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

I see you actually copied it from Cabinet of Andrej Plenković I. I have had to remmove the same material from that article as well, where it's been present since 2017. You had no way of knowing. — Diannaa (talk) 22:23, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi. I'm sorry to bother you, and I know this is not relevant to this topic here, but I didn't want to create a new one, while my "Mentor" doesn't seem to reply for days to other questions (i've never talked with them before) and The Teahouse seems pretty intimidating. I was writing a section for an article in my Sandbox (which I've not used before) and it took me quite a long time and a lot of work. But, now it's all gone. I'm sure I saved it, but all the articles I used and everything in my browser stayed open. Before, while I was writing it, I had to leave/refresh page or smth and I copied it to make sure to be safe, but when I came back it reloaded, it was autosaved in the sandbox. Now, I can't find anything anywhere, when I enter the sandbox, I'm creating it from scratch again (but I'm sure I saved it). Am I just not seeing it? Can you please give me any advice, is there anything I can do? Is it saved anywhere? Could an admin do anything? Thank you. CroatiaElects (talk) 12:36, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Sorry but I checked your contributions and your deleted contributions (there were no deleted contributions) and found no evidence that you had ever created your sandbox. There's nothing in draft space either. The content you were working on will not be present anywhere on our servers unless you saved the page, so there's nothing we can do unfortunately. — Diannaa (talk) 16:31, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Republic (Croatian political party).png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Republic (Croatian political party).png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:36, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
