Hello, Reeemmmaaaaa, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Hi Reema, I am testing out the talk page and saying hello. Your history on authoritarianism article is coming along well! Kudos to you.

Thanks Sam! Would love to hear your thoughts on the article once I'm finished!

Speedy deletion nomination of History of authoritarianism

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on History of authoritarianism requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.all-art.org/Visual_History/01russia1.htm, https://worldpopulationreview.com/governments/north-korea, and multiple others see earwig's tool. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ♠PMC(talk) 04:28, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Reeemmmaaaaa, I didn't delete this, as the first few revisions seem to be free of copyvio. I've removed everything else, and moved it back to User:Reeemmmaaaaa/History of Authoritarianism for you. Just in case it isn't already completely clear: you may not copy non-free material from external sources into Wikipedia, and risk permanent loss of editing privileges if you do so again. So ... please don't! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:57, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
... and then you added back essentially the same content as before. I'd normally block your account indefinitely for that, but I see that you are a student, so here's a second and absolutely last warning: you may not copy non-free material from external sources into Wikipedia, and will be indefinitely blocked if you do so again. You must also understand that neither copyright violation nor plagiarism is acceptable in your student work, and will be even less so in your professional life. If you learn one thing from your study of ethics and your Wikipedia experience, it should be this. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:36, 24 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
