Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Boryana.dineva, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

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 a cited source. 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. (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 information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 can, but please follow the steps in 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. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:59, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please make sure that you understand this message – it's important. If you have any questions about copyright, ask them here – I'll see that you have done so. I've had to remove everything you wrote at Polbar, as it was copied directly from the source. That's never acceptable on Wikipedia. (Note: I rewrote it afterwards, and wrote Green-legged Partridge too; if you can improve either, please do!). Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:39, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I've had to remove at least three other copyright violations from articles you edited today. You simply cannot copy content from elsewhere on the internet and paste it here. Please understand clearly that doing so repeatedly can lead to loss of editing privileges. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:29, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thank you for your message and your patience with me. I apologize for not seeing this message earlier and also apologize for any frustration and unnecessary work I caused. I would like to reassure you that I didn't mean to cause issues - I just didn't realize that I was violating the rules you have listed above. I will carefully review the materials. I will try hard to follow all rules in any future contributions I make. Thank you again for your patience and also for taking the time to provide the reading materials. I really appreciate it.
