Hello, I'm LizardJr8. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Criticism of Hamas, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. LizardJr8 (talk) 20:54, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I was just about to add the source. Adding it now.

• 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. 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. Fair use images must meet all ten of the 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. Please 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

Thank you ARandomName123, much appriciated.

Checking the changes now. As you can tell I am new here, so may I ask how do you know if a study is suitable licensed? and by attribution you mean refrain from coping the text but use it as a reference? Thank again!

If it says something along the lines of "Content on this website is released under CC-BY-SA" it should be fine to use or copy, though you will need to give attribution. Attribution usually means a template like Template:Creative Commons text attribution notice in the references section. For example, in the study in my comment, there's a copyright section that says

Thanks for starting an article on anhydramnios; it has some really useful referenced content. I wonder whether you'd noticed oligohydramnios, to which it is closely related. Might these two pages be better discussed together? I note that many of the references discuss both reference together, and the definition in the lead seems to overlap.
