Please don't copy material from other Wikimedia projects. You must either request an import, or attribute the content with a permalink URL to the source. Not doing either of these makes it a copyright violation which will be deleted. QuiteUnusual (discusscontribs) 14:38, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the hint. The content is from articles which I have reworked carefully which means the copyright holder is me. I would like to make them available as a collection in a book, so that it can be used for didactic purposes. Platonykiss (discusscontribs) 14:47, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Would you please so kind not going around here to vandalise everything! My sandbox is absolutely not your business here! Platonykiss (discusscontribs) 15:12, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Your sandbox is my business - you cannot publish anything here that is in violation of the terms of use. Secondly, the fact that you have "reworked" it doesn't make you the copyright holder. By that implication I could change a couple of words in a famous novel and claim it was mine. The rules are clear. First, whatever you copy, you must provide the source so its copyright status can be checked to ensure it is published under a license that allows reuse. Secondly, you MUST credit the original owner of the work in the way I noted originally., If you create any more copyright violating work you will be permanently blocked. For now, I have temporarily blocked you to prevent more violations, and am waiting until you agree to comply with the site license and engage in a constructive way.

According to your logic you decide what my work is according to principles which are completely arbitrary. Wikipedia is an open domain in any case. I can remove all my work and these articles will no longer exist, because the splitting was entirely my work. The whole Greek translation was a translation of my words. Your bully conduct force me to leave, but I will report you anyway at mother platforms, because it is little bit too thick what I see, you do not ask users before you act, although it is clearly said that this would be the correct conduct. Thus, you did very well understand what I meant. Platonykiss (discusscontribs) 19:25, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
I suggest you familiarise yourself with the site license - that is, the Creative Commons By Attribution ShareAlike License - before you start claiming that Wikipedia, or any other project is "open". If you look below the edit window you will see this "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted. By clicking the "Save Page" button, you are agreeing to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License". That license REQUIRES attribution of content - you cannot just copy it. This is true here, and on Wikipedia. All you have to do is identify the source you are copying from properly, or request an import, and then nobody will disturb you again. It is not a policy requirement to ask you if it is okay to remove license violating content. You also cannot remove your work - you irrevocably license it when you click save. If you aren't happy publishing work under these conditions then you need to think about whether you want to edit any Wikimedia project.

I am working here for many years, but I have never felt treated in such disrespectful way about content which had been entirely created by myself. It does not mean that others are not allowed to continue to work on it, but my work is my work even under license CC-BY-SA 3.0 fullstop If you do not wish to discourage users you should not write this kind of rands.
For me it is absolute no problem to say that the text is taken from existing articles at wikipedia, but it does not change anything with respect to the fact that these articles in their current state are dominated by my own edits. As I said, I spent many hours due to coding salad (too long links and that kind of stuff, especially links to wikimedia platforms created problems when they decode another letter system). But this method forces me also to remove all links to other articles manually. If there is a more elegant way, please tell me how to do it or post me a link, where it is already described. I would be grateful! Platonykiss (discusscontribs) 19:54, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
That's easy then. I'll unblock you and restore your work here. Then I will find the original Wikipedia article and merge the history - that creates the attribution but will leave your most recent edits here intact. QuiteUnusual (discusscontribs) 19:58, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
You do not need to look for it. It would be enough, if you copy me the code of a template and I can do the rest myself. I can also tell you, when I am ready with that work and you might check it, if you like. It is a reciprocal work, because copy them here, make me update obsolete links in the wikipedia article as well. The first article is the entry echos (the short form does not work like in wikimedia, thus I used an external link), if you show me the correct way to identify the article with a template, I can do the rest for the other articles.

Don't worry about identifying it for now. I'll get round to it in a couple of days. QuiteUnusual (discusscontribs) 22:32, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
