Welcome
[edit]Hello, Jonathan.diamantstein and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! SPF121188 (talk this way) (contribs) 15:25, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]
Hello Jonathan.diamantstein! Your additions to Rhesus macaque 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, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- 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 blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. UtherSRG (talk) 20:23, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- hi thank you for letting me know. is there any area where i can see what was deleted? Jonathan.diamantstein (talk) 20:40, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- Check the history of the page. You can contact user:Diannaa for more info since they did the revdel. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:04, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- Also, looking at your talk page history, I see User:Ian (Wiki Ed) already informed you about this, and you removed his notice. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:06, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- yes because I went through the citing protocol and fixed the issue Jonathan.diamantstein (talk) 21:08, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- Looks like you didn't understand, as User:Diannaa just removed the same copyvio material from the article. It's not about attributing the information, it's about writing it in your own words. Do please re-read the above notice, including diving into the links called out. Further errors may result in the immediate suspension of your editing privileges. - UtherSRG (talk) 23:09, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- I have resolved that issue with Diannaa and the correct paraphrasing was put into the article Jonathan.diamantstein (talk) 23:19, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
