Hello Diannaa the source link you have given in your edit summary, I am seeing for the very first time. And I have just checked it itself isn't original.https://www.allresearchjournal.com/archives/2017/vol3issue6/PartD/3-6-76-983.pdf is almost exactly copy from https://www.jstor.org/stable/3516809 p-17 . My source is also Bhattacharya, Subhas. “The Indigo Revolt of Bengal.” Social Scientist, vol. 5, no. 12, 1977, pp. 13–23. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/3516809. Accessed 21 Aug. 2021. and I have cited the item in reference list. Chanchaldm (talk) 20:37, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Changing a ping template does not work (pinging Diannaa). By the way, you seen my reply below? — Lauritz Thomsen (talk) 20:45, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me with... I am seeing https://www.allresearchjournal.com/archives/2017/vol3issue6/PartD/3-6-76-983.pdf for the first time in edit summary of my contribution being deleted. And I have just checked , the source itself isn't original. It has almost exactly being copied from - Bhattacharya, Subhas. “The Indigo Revolt of Bengal.” Social Scientist, vol. 5, no. 12, 1977, pp. 13–23. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/3516809. Accessed 21 Aug. 2021. P-17 My source is also - Bhattacharya, Subhas. The Indigo Revolt of Bengal, Social Scientist, 5.. I have made little alteration and give reference too. I don't think it has any copyright. Chanchaldm (talk) 20:15, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Please take a look at the Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources page, and remember that all literary works are protected by copyright by default. Thank you. — Lauritz Thomsen (talk) 20:21, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know that. Can I take permission and then copy with some alteration? Or taking text from other sources with some alteration not allowed altogether? Chanchaldm (talk) 20:54, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What exactly do you mean by "taking permission"? As described here, you would need a very specific license grant from the copyright holder to copy text onto Wikipedia. Regarding alterations, please see the Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing page. Thank you. — Lauritz Thomsen (talk) 21:02, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

With very few exceptions, you always have to write everything in you own words. Please read WP:COPYVIO. Girth Summit _(blether) 21:13, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Girth Summit: I'm assuming this wasn't meant for me (?) — Lauritz Thomsen (talk) 21:16, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

LauritzT, no indeed, for your interlocutor. Apologies for indenty confusion. Girth Summit _(blether) 21:18, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok sir. I have got it. It forbids Wikipedia contributors from copying an excessive amount of material directly from other sources. As Diannaa mentioned in edit summary -https://www.allresearchjournal.com/archives/2017/vol3issue6/PartD/3-6-76-983.pdf which itself is exact copy of https://www.jstor.org/stable/3516809 , P-17. My source is also https://www.jstor.org/stable/3516809 . But I haven't seen https://www.allresearchjournal.com/archives/2017/vol3issue6/PartD/3-6-76-983.pdf at all before. So I was very confused. Thank you for your help. I'm little confused thinking that Diannaa's mentioned source is also copyright violation. Isn't it? Chanchaldm (talk) 21:17, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[The] mentioned source is also copyright violation: Not necessarily, if the authors of the mentioned source had permission from the copyright holders, which is presumably the case, since it appears that it was submitted to the authors of the website by the author of the article (who would be the copyright holder by default). Thank you for your help: You're very welcome, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia :) — Lauritz Thomsen (talk) 21:24, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As a new editor I don't have that much knowledge. Thank you for explaining me all these things. I will remember to write only in my own words and and also put quote around I take extensively from other source. Thank you again. Chanchaldm (talk) 05:01, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia! However, you should know that it is not a good idea to remove citations or information sourced through citations simply because a link to a source is not working, as you did to Baishya Saha. Dead links should not be deleted. Instead, please repair or replace the link, if possible, and ensure properly sourced information is retained. Often, a live substitute link can be found. Links not used as references, notes or citations are not as important, such as those listed in the "External links" or "Further reading" sections, but bad links in those sections should also be fixed if possible. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Worldbruce (talk) 21:49, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
