Copied material in Timeline of wireless technology

Hello SCIE2004, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Timeline of wireless technology 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. StarryGrandma (talk) 22:40, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Second warning on copied material at Timeline of wireless technology

I see that you have replaced the material that was copied from various online timelines. For legal reasons Wikipedia cannot accept material borrowed from somewhere else. See Wikipedia:Copyright violations. You must write in entirely your own words. Please rewrite or remove this material as soon as possible. StarryGrandma (talk) 05:11, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also please rewrite the material in the Timeline of Radio section. Most, but not all, has been copied from timelines at http://www.greatachievements.org/?id=3659, https://wcbn.org/history/wcbntime.html, http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/rescue/sfeature/radio.html, http://blog.sonos.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/History-Of-Radio_FINAL.jpg.

Multiple serious issues with Timeline of wireless technology

Multiple serious issues with Timeline of wireless technology put it and you on a trajectory to deletion and blocking, respectively:

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Timeline of wireless technology. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Except for American Experience and WCBN, none of the cited sources fit Wikipedia's definition of a reliable source, so they should not be used as references. Any editor is free to remove them and the content that cites them. I have not done so, except where the content also violates copyright, but that is only a temporary courtesy to give you a few days to find substitute sources that are reliable.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Timeline of wireless technology. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Your addition to Timeline of wireless technology has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Material has been copied verbatim from http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/fall04/keith/history1.htm, http://cellphones.lovetoknow.com/Cellular_Phone_Timeline, https://www.timetoast.com/timelines/history-of-cell-phones--11., and http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/rescue/sfeature/radio.html.

Proposed deletion of Timeline of wireless technology

The article Timeline of wireless technology has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
