Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Process hazard analysis into Process Safety Management (OSHA regulation). 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. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Ninja Diannaa ( Talk) 14:21, 24 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Hi, noted with thanks and will do in any future case.

For this particular case, though, most of the text I copied was from parts of Process hazard analysis that I had written or edited myself. JudeFawley ( talk) 15:06, 24 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Attribution is technically not required if you are the sole author of the prose that was copied/moved. But it's easier for patrollers if you do it anyway, and you can avoid receiving unnecessary messages such as mine. — Ninja Diannaa ( Talk) 15:38, 24 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Thanks. Just to clarify, is there a way I can do it retroactively? JudeFawley ( talk) 16:12, 24 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Yes. Just make a useful edit and use the suggested edit summary, like I did here. — Ninja Diannaa ( Talk) 04:24, 25 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Gotcha. Thanks for your help. JudeFawley ( talk) 04:35, 25 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited James Reason, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Amazon. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thanks for spotting that. It was indeed a mistake. It is fixed now. JudeFawley ( talk) 06:48, 6 July 2023 (UTC) reply

In the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain sources: simply add the template {{ PD-notice}} after your citation. I have done so for the above article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself, and that it's okay to copy verbatim. Thanks, — Diannaa ( talk) 13:39, 17 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Sure, thanks for the hint.

(To be fair, I have tried to reword as much as I could. But probably some sentences remained as in the original...) JudeFawley ( talk) 13:43, 17 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Hello JudeFawley! 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. 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.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• 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 either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• 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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Isochrone ( T) 12:48, 2 August 2023 (UTC) reply

I have already removed a large sum of copyrighted content, and I would appreciate if you could remove anything you have copied word for word. – Isochrone ( T) 12:48, 2 August 2023 (UTC) reply

1) For info, most of the content I copy-pasted is in the public domain and this was acknowledged in the references (currently reference no.6, OSHA 3132, you can download that document, in which it is explicitly stated public domain). Regardless, it is generally some sentences, although most of the times I struggled to summarize and reword anyway.

2) Noted on the source you highlighted ( https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Guidelines_for_Risk_Based_Process_Safety/0PLDxXJ5RtUC?hl=en). I do acknowledge that I did not reword and summarize enough in this case. I take notice and will take action accordingly.

3) Some portions that you have deleted are 100% not copy-paste from anywhere and I shall restore them unless you can prove they come from any source in the public domain.

4) Proposing the article for deletion does not seem correct to me. The article was there before I edited, for many years. Its quality and extent were no good, but the article was there. Reversion to the pre-me version seems more reasonable.

Cheers and thanks for your help. JudeFawley ( talk) 14:08, 2 August 2023 (UTC) reply

@ JudeFawley thank you for your reply.
The content I deleted was content I directly found in the aformentioned copyrighted text. I did not delete any of the public domain content, and I have not proposed that the article be deleted, rather the infringing content be removed from the page history.

I appreciate copyright is complicated, but please note that any direct copying or paraphrasing that isn't in quotes is copyright infringement: a good tip is to read a text, wait a minute and write using the notes in your memory, ensuring you do not copy the source.

I have reviewed the content you have readded and I apologise some was unintentionally removed: I went to a great deal of trouble not to list this page at WP:Copyright problems which would have involved the entire page being blanked for an indefinite amount of time, and checked the references to the best of my capacity to not remove any content unintentionally. Your rephrased content looks sutiable.

In the future, please do not paraphrase from copyrighted sources. There are a limited number of editors who help with copyright concerns and it is often time consuming to have to deal with such cases, though I appreciate you were doing this in good faith. Thank you – Isochrone ( T) 14:39, 2 August 2023 (UTC) reply

No worries, I fully understand your concern. I am on a learning curve here and this is learnings that I will put in practice in my future edits.

I have now done two edits that hopefully tackle the issue. Kindly have a look at them if you wish. Perhaps the template for proposal for deletion can be removed now? JudeFawley ( talk) 14:44, 2 August 2023 (UTC) reply

The edits look good, thanks.
The template will be removed by an administrator in due course. Wikipedia is very serious about copyright to the extent to which that any infringing content in the pages history must be removed, the infringing revisions will simply be "hidden" but the actual page content will remain the same.
Revision deletions are usually carried out within a few hours, though they can take longer. – Isochrone ( T) 14:48, 2 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Noted and thanks again, really appreciated. JudeFawley ( talk) 14:49, 2 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Texas City refinery explosion. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa ( talk) 14:06, 23 January 2024 (UTC) reply

The text copied from the CSB report was not added by me, it had been there for ages. It is a part of the article that I have not gotten to revise yet. JudeFawley ( talk) 23:52, 23 January 2024 (UTC) reply

This is the edit that got flagged — Diannaa ( talk) 00:24, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

I thought I had paraphrased that sufficiently to not count as plagiarism. Also, that is a recommendation from the study so it is challenging to actually change the wording wothout losing essential information. Perhaps I should have used quote signs and left the original text instead. JudeFawley ( talk) 00:29, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

It's okay to copy public domain cobntent as long as it's attributed. You can do this by including the template{{ source-attribution}} as part of your citation. Like I did here — Diannaa ( talk) 02:40, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

True that and thanks. But let us say the source is not in the public domain, what would trigger a potential copyright infringement, i.e. how many words constitute plagiarism? And how long may a quoted (i.e. between quote signs) passage be? JudeFawley ( talk) 02:45, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Content has to be written in your own words and not include any wording at all from the source material. Short properly attributed quotations are allowed, but cannot be used as a substitute for writing your own content. There's no set limit on the number or size of quotations.That said, Wikipedia articles should for the most part be written in our own words, and quotations used only when absolutely necessary. For a book, it would be more appropriate to provide a few short excerpts (one or two sentences) from reviews rather than extensive quotations from the book itself or from an interview with the author. Wikipedia:Non-free content#Text says "Brief quotations of copyrighted text may be used to illustrate a point, establish context, or attribute a point of view or idea"; "Extensive quotation of copyrighted text is prohibited." Please see Wikipedia:Non-free content, especially Wikipedia:Non-free content#Text, and the essay Wikipedia:Quotations for more details. — Diannaa ( talk) 15:10, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply
