Welcome Once Again

Hi Alex, Welcome to Wikipedia once again. Am Enock also a volunteer contributor from Ghana and a member of the individuals planning for the establishment of Wikimedia Ghana. I have seen your recent edits. If you need any help kindly let me know. Yu can also visit blog for more info. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks →Enock4seth ^(talk) 19:36, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Enock. Thanks for reaching out. I have been editing Wikipedia for a while now but I am not as active as many. As a matter of fact, I find the '4 article edits a week' milestone on your blog quite a challenge. Much as I am interested in contributing quality articles to Wikipedia, including but not limited to Ghanaian articles, I am afraid I will not be able to meet that target. If you don't mind, you could send me links on items you'd like to be reviewed and I'll try to work on them. Regards. Alex Essilfie (talk) 10:28, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alex, I've seen your previous edits you are actually doing great. Uhm! The '4 article edits a week' doesn't mean creating four articles or whatever. That was actually placed there by one of the admins. to keep our editing morale up. Not to scare editors and newcomers. :-). Will be glad to reach you over email. Here. [email protected]. Hope to hear from you soon. Won't hesitate to help you out in any problem on Wikipedia at all. :-) Thanks. →Enock4seth ^(talk) 11:19, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Some Wikilove for you. Enjoy. Keep your edits up. :-). →Enock4seth ^(talk) 11:20, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Alex Essilfie, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Kathmandu Durbar Square has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

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 a cited source. 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
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 can, but please follow the steps in 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. This relates to your uploaded file File:Kathmandu- Durbar Square after 2015 earthquake.jpg. Thank you.
