Wikipedia and copyright

  Hello Kavyansh.Singh! Your additions to Presidency of Ram Nath Kovind 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. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
  • 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 in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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. — Diannaa (talk) 22:02, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

@Twofingered Typist Thanks for your copy edit, As you have gone through the article, kindly let me know that does it complies with the criteria of a good article, or it needs more information to be added. Previous GA nomination was failed (Talk:Presidency of Ram Nath Kovind/GA1). Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 02:53, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
Hello, it certainly should not fail because of grammar or citation issues. If you have more relevant information, why would you not add it? It's impossible to know what the reviewers will want they vary tremendously. I'd renominate it and see what the reaction is. Twofingered Typist (talk) 11:27, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Jimmy Carter 1976 presidential campaign

  Hello! Your submission of Jimmy Carter 1976 presidential campaign at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! — Maile (talk) 18:06, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Are you good with the ALT3? 168 characters so hook length is still good. BusterD (talk) 09:47, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
@BusterD: Yes, definitely better than Alt 2. Also, you can link Gerald Ford piping it to " Republican incumbent", but it too goes fine. (And "anyone but Reagan" is a good slogan, though Ford won the nomination narrowly and lost the election narrowly!) Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 09:53, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Twofingered Typist, Thanks for your copy-edit. As you have read the article, would just like to request you to give your feedback regarding the article at it Peer Review page. Also, at which criteria is the article most likely to fail in GA review? Thank-you!

Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign

Hi. I've had a go at copy-editing the article as per the GOCE request but stumbled immediately upon some issues in the lead. For someone not familiar with the vagaries of American politics, some things were not clear to me. I did my best to fix the co-presidency bit (which repeats verbatim further down in the article), but also there are a bit too many details (numbers) in the second para. I am hoping to read the rest of the article to gain better understanding. But this is something you might want to consider. An article lead should be sufficiently accessible to a non-specialist audience.

Another thing I stumbled upon is "a nationally televised speech from a fundraiser program". What does it mean? He was attending a fundraiser and made a speech from there, which was televised? This phrase appears both in the lead and the Preparing for a run sub-section. I did a quick search and found that it was a "recorded video"; the source also mentions how they capitalized on Reagan's acting skills and filmed him in a stately room with a big desk and wooden chair. I believe these details are very important for the article and should be included. Otherwise, impressive research! I'll keep reading and posting some further comments. Leoseliv (talk) 09:21, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Leoseliv:, thanks for your contribution to the article. I have edited that article and reduced/summarized the numeric details in the second paragraph of lead. On the issue of nationally televised speech, I took it from an newspaper (Source) which mentions "In a nationally televised speech, and at a fundraiser dinner at the New York Hilton, the former California Governor said......" , but I guess I had misunderstood it. It would be better to write just "nationally televised speech", as a video on C-SPAN says "during a paid nationally televised speech on Nov. 13 1979."(Source) I have also included the other details mentioned. It would surely be helpful to receive more comments and feedback!
Thankyou!

Ronald Reagan 1980 presidential campaign

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Ronald Reagan 1980 presidential campaign has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. You'll notice I changed the date formats so that they are consistent with the format used in the article's text. This makes the citation section look a lot neater, in my opinion.

Best of luck with the GAN when you get to it..
