  Hello, I'm Rdp060707. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Santiago Ramón y Cajal because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. ----Rdp060707|talk 05:46, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Santiago Ramón y Cajal, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. – NJD-DE (talk) 13:36, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

All of the citations I added are reliable and meet community standards. I read the guidelines. Dee Dee Turner (talk) 18:18, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Dee Dee Turner — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dee Dee Turner (talkcontribs) 14:16, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Please read them again then. External links are not supposed to be in the main body of the article. Also per WP:PROVEIT the burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material. Please stop making baseless accusations of vandalism against fellow editors, as they might be taken as personal attacks. Thanks. – NJD-DE (talk) 14:32, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

External links are not the main content. You are obviously the one making attacks by completely undoing everything entirely, rather than just making edits to improve content that has been added, thus, your behavior qualifies as vandalism. External links are not the main body. Read all of the content at play, and help revise the section. Don't just make blanket deletes. That is clearly outlined as unacceptable behavior on Wikipedia.

  Hello Dee Dee Turner! Your additions to Santiago Ramón y Cajal 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. 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. Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License is not a compatible license. Thank you. — Diannaa 🇨🇦 (talk) 14:56, 23 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

HI Diannaa, thank you so much for your help and guidance. The information you provided will be very helpful to me in the future. Can I reach out to you in the future for advice regarding future edits? Best, Dee Dee Turner (talk) 21:11, 23 May 2021 (UTC)Dee Dee TurnerReply
