War over Mountainous Armenia

How are you able to create War over Mountainous Armenia that is, in many places, word for word identical to the version created by blocked sockpuppet, AmanAmanAmaTurq? Either you are the same editor or you are illicitly copying content from a blocked editor. I see no third option but am giving you a chance to explain yourself. --Yamla (talk) 18:59, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

it's from the military wiki. i am not aman aman ama turq Peachy1621 (talk) 19:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/War_over_Mountainous_Armenia this is where i got the text from Peachy1621 (talk) 19:02, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

You are not permitted to do that. That's a violation of copyright. I'll go and delete that article. You must tell us what other articles you've copied content into. --Yamla (talk) 19:03, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Can i rewrite it then Peachy1621 (talk) 19:04, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes, but you absolutely must not violate copyright. That means rewriting it from scratch, not just simply rewording the content. Please be exceptionally careful here. Any further copyright violation may result in you being indefinitely blocked from en.wikipedia. --Yamla (talk) 19:06, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

ok Peachy1621 (talk) 19:15, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I've moved your draft over to Draft:War over Mountainous Armenia. Once it is ready to be published, please submit it via the process outlined in WP:AFC. --Yamla (talk) 19:21, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

but the thing i copied it from is sourced- what do you want me to change? there's nothing i can possibly change or else it'd be innacurate Peachy1621 (talk) 22:26, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

You were warned about copying and pasting. You copied and pasted. --Yamla (talk) 22:35, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Really, you shouldn't even have that other site open, let alone copy from it. If you are unable to edit without copying from another source, please refrain from any further editing. --Yamla (talk) 22:37, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

so, what do you expect me to change? it is a template, there is nothing to change, because otherwise, it would be inaccurate... what do i have to change for it to not be copied?... Peachy1621 (talk) 23:32, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

I want to be very, very clear here. I expect you to rewrite that article from scratch and never copy and paste content from elsewhere. If you are unable to do this, you should not be writing that article. --Yamla (talk) 10:15, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Explain what was copied and pasted in the deleted revision. If this was about the numbers in the infobox, e.g. army size/casualties, then how exactly am I supposed to put those in? Peachy1621 (talk) 17:04, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

I will say this one last time. When the block expires, there had better be zero instances of you copying and pasting. If you are unable to rewrite an article from scratch without copying and pasting, you have no business writing the article. --Yamla (talk) 17:11, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

then can i ask a friend to rewrite it? this is without the infobox of course Peachy1621 (talk) 07:19, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

This would be dangerous. How would your friend not violate copyright? What about WP:MEAT? --Yamla (talk) 10:02, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

By rewriting the page about the conflict Peachy1621 (talk) 15:41, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:

I want to be unblocked so I can continue editing. I was blocked because I inserted an infobox that was referred to as copied. I will not insert that infobox anymore, or infoboxes in general that may be referred to as copied and pasted. I only want to rewrite the page I was originally working on. Thanks Peachy1621 (talk) 20:15, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Your history to date shows that you do not understand copyright and that unblocking you would be a bad idea that could potentially expose Wikipedia to legal jeopardy. 331dot (talk) 09:13, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
