Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello אלכסנדר סעודה, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Effects of global warming have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 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 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. (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 the 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 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 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.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 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. — Ninja Diannaa (Talk) 00:41, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

DS Climate change[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in Climate change. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

comment[edit]

That template is an FYI template. I gave the same one to myself. It means that people need to pay attention to WP:ARBCC#Principles. If there are problems an WP:ADMIN can intervene with little notice, usually by issuing a short WP:BLOCK on offending editors. I think the other regular editors at climate pages where I have seen you have already received this notice, or its equivalent. If not, any editor can post it on another's talk page, so long as its done in accord with the DS procedures. To find out what those are, read the links in the template message.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Planetary boundaries into Sustainability. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:23, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I will do it.

September 2019[edit]

Your addition to 2019 UN Climate Action Summit has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:46, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Name in Latin characters?[edit]

Hi. While we appreciate getting new editors, and are willing to help them up the "learning curve", we have a bit of an unusual challenge here. This being the English Wikipedia, there are very few of us familiar with what I presume are Hebrew characters, and so (to us) your user name is effectively gibberish. So I am wondering if you might adopt a nickname (perhaps part of your name in Latin characters?), and incorporate it into your signature, so that us linguistically limited folks could have a convenient handle for referring to you. ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 21:59, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, I will try to do it.

--אלכסנדר סעודה (talk) 15:51, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe this is better.

Alexander Sauda

Yes. That looks a lot more accommodating. Note that you can still incorporate Hebrew characters in your signature, and the Latinized part doesn't have to be your full name. (E.g., note how I use "JJ" in my signature.) Also, something you might want to look into: it is possible to have a completely Latinized user name (not the signature, but the actual user name) redirect to the non-Latin user name. ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 20:15, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have tried to make something like that look now.

--Alexander Sauda/אלכסנדר סעודה (talk) 12:20, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That looks very good. Thanks for doing that. That will make easier for other editors to interact with you. ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 22:29, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of America's Pledge[edit]

The article America's Pledge has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lacks 3rd party, neutral sourcing to show how this is notable.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 15:39, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

American Pledge[edit]

You seriously need to fix the sources on this, a 3rd party source is not a link to join the cause [[1]]. Keep in mind I support this cause, just not how you have written the page. Please see WP:RS and beef up the sourcing or your article will likely get deleted. You can delete the PROD for any reason and I can't add it back but there are other forms of deletions that others may use. I don't plan on re-nom for deletion but the way it is written still holds that risk if others nominate it. I'd likely support deletion if it was. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 16:04, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, I will fix the sources.

--Alexander Sauda/אלכסנדר סעודה (talk) 16:06, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciated the changes. Hope we can one day do these things on a national basis again. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 17:02, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I hope so too. Probably, I will add more links from third party after. It simply difficult to do all in one day.

--Alexander Sauda/אלכסנדר סעודה (talk) 17:27, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you you want to know why I am choose this organization. Looke at this page in "Organisational structure". America's Pledge is the coordinator of We are still in' and United States Climate Alliance. And it issued the report in which you can see most clearly the number of population involved. But if you have time and force to write also about United States Climate Alliance and create a page about We are still in it will be welcomed. Have a nice day.

Copying licensed material requires attribution[edit]

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Climate change in Europe you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 12:03, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, I will see how you made this and in the future will make it myself.

Welcome to the online edit-a-thon on climate change topics in November 2020[edit]

Hi,

I am EMsmile, and I am a part of a group of people wishing to improve climate change-related articles on Wikipedia. We are organising the "Wiki4Climate" online edit-a-thon from 24 November to 1 December 2020. Please take part by registering here. This event is organised by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) and Future Climate for Africa (FCFA). If you have any questions about this event, please feel free to ask your question on the event's talk page here. Please also join us in the event's Slack channel for easier communication and to make this into a collaborative effort. To join the Slack channel, please click here.

We also recommend this new guide to you: Guide: How to contribute climate change information to Wikipedia (Baker, E., McNamara, L., Mackay, B., and Vincent, K. (2020). How to contribute climate change information to Wikipedia: A guide for researchers, practitioners and communicators. Cape Town: Climate and Development Knowledge Network and Future Climate for Africa). EMsmile (talk) 12:59, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! I joined it.

One advice: as part of the edit-a-thon invite people to participate in the Wiki projects about Climate and Environment so they will continue edit about, after the edit-a-thon.

Pipe links[edit]

If both sides of a pipe link are identical, even if the first letter is upper case on one side but lower case on the other side, it is a pointless pipelink, as you did here. For example, [[Biodiversity loss|biodiversity loss]] and [[biodiversity loss]] produce the same result. Sundayclose (talk) 20:16, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Climate change degree by degree moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Climate change degree by degree, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. DGG ( talk ) 01:50, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Climate change degree by degree (July 26)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Timtrent was:

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Climate change. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I think what youi need to do is to build consensus at Talk:Climate change for this list of effects, and use that consensus to merge it there, or to create a separate article

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Climate change degree by degree and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Climate change degree by degree, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Help needed at the Hebrew Wikipedia[edit]

Hello Alexander,

I was wondering if you could help maintain the Hebrew article global warming. I read the article with Google Translate and have posted a list of issues on the talk page. The article contains some climate myths, which we've been deleting across Wikipedia as part of a cross-wiki review. Thanks! Femke (talk) 16:57, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I write in the English Wikipedia because it has the higher number of views and it is international, but maybe I will try to do something also in the hebrew Wikipedia. --Alexander Sauda/אלכסנדר סעודה (talk) 12:34, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have some concerns about your user page[edit]

Hi, I have some concerns about your user page and encourage you do reconsider and perhaps remove some text from it. I am not sure if you're aware of the guidance about user pages? See here: WP:UP#NOT. See in particular: "Generally, you should avoid substantial content on your user page that is unrelated to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a general hosting service, so your user page is not a personal website. Your user page is about you as a Wikipedian, and pages in your user space should be used as part of your efforts to contribute to the project." Have a nice day.

Thank you. What I have written in my page are related to what I write in Wikipedia - explain why, what I write pages that I am interested in them, ButI agree that I have to explain it more clearly. I will correct my page so it will be more clear. Alexander Sauda/אלכסנדר סעודה (talk) 14:04, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
