Copyright problem icon One of your recent edits has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of 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.

[edit]

Hi Chuandmi, your desire to contribute to Wikipedia is appreciated but you cannot copy/paste from sources. You must write content in your own words that summarize what the sources state. Copyright violations are a serious issue as they have legal implications for both Wikipedia and the editor that violates the applicable laws. If you have questions or need help please ask at the Teahouse. S0091 (talk) 22:11, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@S0091: Hi S0091, thanks for your comment. I'm new to Wikipedia so still trying to get the hang of things. I noticed you removed my edits on this page -- the Synopsis section was paraphrased and the Production section does not seem to be copy/pasted at all. So I was wondering if you could clarify those reverts for me? Thanks. Chuandmi (talk) 22:45, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's a very close paraphrase. For example, "the heartaches from their complicated family past becomes a shadow that constantly lingers" is verbatim. I will leave some additional information about editing Wikipedia and appreciate your response. S0091 (talk) 23:02, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Please remember to:

  • Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
