Hello, I'm Serols. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Gray (unit)— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Serols (talk) 14:57, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm KNHaw. I noticed that you recently removed content from Optical heterodyne detection without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hello, user cems here. I'm the originator and primary curator of the optical heterodyne page. I made the change that I did for the reason discussed in the "TALK" section of the associated article. The point is inserting gratuious links to applications does not belong in the summary. It needs it's own section on applications. I preserved the references that I removed in the Talk section for later incoporations when there is a suitably mature collection of these. The listed set removed are actually not even mainstream app;lication despite being interesting and clever.

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

First, thanks for reaching out to me. I was concerned because I originally saw you had not brought it up on the talk page. That's why I reverted the edit. After I saw your second edit and saw you were bringing it up, I decided to let it be. As long as there's tracability on the talk page, I will stay out of it as I am (admittedly) not an expert.

Also, you indicate you are user_talk:Cems2, but your edits are coming up as being on an anonymous IP. I'm not sure if that is intentional or not, but I thought you should know.

Happy editing! --KNHaw ^(talk) 22:37, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello 192.12.184.7, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to USS Alexander Hamilton (SSBN-617) have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) 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.

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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:54, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
