Welcome![edit]
Hello, Kittycatmeow01, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.
If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to The Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

September 2023[edit]
- I added skills from the DBT Skills Training Handbook. I don't know what's wrong with that. Kittycatmeow01 (talk) 21:30, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- You've been adding unsourced content all across almost every article you have touched. Sourcing is required. You've also been adding a lot of examples and bulleted lists - Wikipedia should mostly be written in prose. MrOllie (talk) 21:33, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- These are helpful examples that DBT patients actually use, and I cited the DBT Skills Training Handbook. For an acronym, spelling it out with bullet points is helpful. I could make it all on line, but either way, there was a source, and this is not original research. Kittycatmeow01 (talk) 21:36, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- On other articles, maybe some parts don't have a source yet, but I don't understand why you removed the parts where I did include a source. Kittycatmeow01 (talk) 21:39, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- Claims about psychology (and other types of medical content), have special sourcing requirements, which you can find at WP:MEDRS. Blogs and self published websites do not qualify. I've also checked several of the sources you cited, and they do not contain all of the information you have added to the Wikipedia articles. In other cases you have copy and pasted directly from the source, which is a copyright violation. All of this is not going to work on Wikipedia.
- You should be looking at a source, adding only information from that source, but in every case you must present that information in your own words. Don't copy and paste. Also don't start with the writing and only try to find sourcing later. If you have questions about how writing for Wikipedia works, I suggest you raise them at WP:TEAHOUSE. But I must reiterate - if you keep up with the copyright violations, you can expect that an admin will block your account sooner or later. MrOllie (talk) 14:20, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]
- 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. — SamX [talk · contribs] 21:25, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
