Hello Okiloma! Your additions to

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double
  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. 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.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images.
  non-free content criteria
  in order 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. 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.
• 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, 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. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 03:24, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Thank you for letting me know this. In the future I'll stick to this. 8:54, 7/17/2022 (EST) [Okiloma] Okiloma (talk) 12:55, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Moneytrees🏝️, I've again improved the same article again without breaching the copyright of the Wiki. Please have a look at it now. 8:54, 7/21/2022 (EST) [Okiloma] Okiloma (talk) 12:55, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've reworded your recent editions, as they were still too close to the sources; you can see the rewrites I did in this edit. While your effort to rewrite is appreciated, you need to focus on summarizing the source rather then saying what it is saying verbatim. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 00:01, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, Now I understood. I will adherent to it in my future edits. Thank you for guiding me. Okiloma (talk) 13:33, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I'm not aware of this. Thank you for enlightening me. And that's not a hard word. As I could not verify the source, I used the word "vandalism." No offence. Okiloma (talk) 18:18, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can
  discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus
  .
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 09:39, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
