Wikipedia and copyright
Hello EliteArcher88, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to
Matt Gaetz 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.
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.
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.

Its okay SNoogs, admin
Black_kite explained how the edit must be approached in Wikipedias voice, I'm working on rewording it now. which if you look in my revert I invited you to do if you cared about it being accurate, but it seems you just want it omitted completely?

I do want it omitted completely. Why are we citing the drivel of liars and conspiracy theorists?
Snooganssnoogans (
talk) 21:39, 8 May 2020 (UTC)reply
Snoogs, despite your personal beliefs, Fox News, a reliable verifiable source reported that Charlie Kirk stated that he refused money from the PPP, this is notable as it is also reported by a reliable/verfiable Daily beast article here,
article link and also a National Review article here
article link. So if its notable and corroborated between sources. Worded correctly as
Black_Kite suggested, what's the issue? I admit maybe my initial edit was worded out of Wikipedias voice, but if your reasoning is bias about Charlie Kirk, I don't think thats good enough reason to omit notable documented, published events.

Important Notice
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 shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. 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 the
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

Please carefully read this information:
A community discussion has authorised the use of
general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (
COVID-19). The specific details of these sanctions are described
here.
Broadly,
general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means
uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the
purpose of Wikipedia, our
standards of behaviour, or relevant
policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as
editing restrictions,
bans, or
blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
