Welcome!

Hello, Shivanshpatel312, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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.

Answering help request

Hi Shivanshpatel312, I saw your help request on my talk page. You can access your sandbox by clicking the "sandbox" hyperlink at the top of the page. There is also a link from your user page. While in your sandbox (User:Shivanshpatel312/sandbox), click the "edit" button at the top of the page. In "edit" mode, click anywhere on the page, then start typing! I left a short note in your sandbox to show how this is done. For more information about how to use the Visual Editor interface, please see this training. Make sure you save your changes regularly by clicking "publish changes", as your edits are not saved automatically! Thanks, Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:43, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Peer Review

I am basing this review off your sandbox article contribution, your most recent contribution is just a copy of the original article. I think your article is well-formatted and has numerous supporting details for each topic. I believe everything in the article is relevant to the main topic. Checking the links they all seem to work fine and citing of the books I believe seems to be to date. Overall I think the work you have done is well-structured and well organized.

Speedy deletion nomination of Concept cars and its future aspects

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 Concept cars and its future aspects 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 https://www.historicvehicle.org/historic-concept-cars-part-i-yesteryears-cars-of-tomorrow/. 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.

Plagiarism and copyright

Hello, I received a notification that you had posted material that closely paraphrased or took material verbatim from content that had previously been published elsewhere to your article. This is seen as a copyright issue and plagiarism, even if you were to include the original source as a citation. Always be careful when writing article content - a good way to avoid doing this is to take notes while reading and write your article from those notes.

Unless the material is explicitly marked as falling into the public domain or was released under a compatible Creative Commons license, it should be assumed that the content is copyrighted in a way that would prohibit it from being used verbatim elsewhere. It's always best to write things in your own words, as this can help prevent issues like this from arising. I would like for you to review the module on plagiarism and copyright, thanks.

• It looks like your sandbox also contained plagiarism, so this had to be deleted as well. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:48, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
• On my talk page you asked for the restoration of the article and the sandbox content into your sandbox. Since the material was taken verbatim from the source I cannot restore the content to your userspace, as this would still pose an issue with copyright, as the content you copied was held under a very restrictive copyright that would prohibit us copying it to Wikipedia. Essentially, even if we were to attribute it to the person/source, the copyright holder has released it under a copyright (All rights reserved) that forbids the following:

• It cannot be copied without the express permission of the copyright holder. You cannot share it with other people, in other words.
• The content cannot be re-worked or adapted into a new format. (IE, we cannot take passages from the work and adapt them into a new work, which is a necessity for Wikipedia.)
• The content cannot be used commercially without their consent.

Wikipedia uses a copyright that allows for content to be adapted and shared, as well as sold commercially, so anything held under the "all rights reserved" type of restrictive copyright cannot be copied verbatim to Wikipedia. Fair use only covers short quotes and even then, there has to be context to show where it's important to use the quote verbatim (instead of re-writing the content in our own words) and the quote has to be clearly marked via quotation marks and attributed.

Now part of the issue with using content verbatim even if they are held under a compatible copyright like CC-BY, public domain, or CC-BY-SA is that in most cases the author uses a writing style that doesn't fit with Wikipedia's more formal writing. The author's writing may be too casual, use slang, or even be written to promote a specific person, place, concept, or thing, making it necessary for the material to be re-written even if it is under a compatible copyright.

I hope this makes sense! Your instructor is aware of this and I've given them a copy of your work as well. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:38, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Concept cars article

Hello, Shivanshpatel312,

You posted a request on my user talk page about getting your article restored and I have tracked down the information. I apologize for the delay.

On October 25th, you moved content from User:Shivanshpatel312/sandbox to Concept cars and its future aspects leaving behind a redirect, a page that directs editors and readers from your sandbox to the new page with a link. On October 26th, admin RHaworth deleted the concept cars article for reasons of G12, Unambiguous copyright infringement of https://www.historicvehicle.org/historic-concept-cars-part-i-yesteryears-cars-of-tomorrow/. After this page was deleted, the redirect on your sandbox was "broken" because the article no longer existed and on October 27th, I deleted the broken redirect. I did not delete the article, just the broken redirect.

Ordinarily, in these types of situations, you would go to the admin who deleted the article, RHaworth, and argue that your page should be restored. But in the case of copyright infringement, we can not restore the page or even place the content back in your sandbox because it is not legal to use content directly from other sources (as noted in the message above mine). All content on Wikipedia has to be original, written by editors, not taken or borrowed from other sources and if you refer to other sources, they must be correctly cited/referenced.

I hope this answers your questions and provides you with some guidance on how to work on your future articles. If you have any further questions, please ask me, Shalor or visit the Teahouse where experienced editors can assist you. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:05, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
