Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Israeli war crimes you included material copied from several differnt Wikipedia articles. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of our license. Each individual article from which you copied needs to be listed in your edit summary. A suggested format for the edit summary is"Copied content from [[<page name>]]; see that page's history for attribution." I've added the attribution for this particular instance, and also spent quite a bit of time locating and adding all the missing citations that you forgot to copy over along with the prose. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying within Wikipedia in the future, as well as add any supporting citations. Thank you.

Hi, thanks for bringing that to my attention, I wasn't familiar with this policy. I've seen stuff I've written then copied into related articles as well, but wasn't aware there was a protocol like this for it. I'll be sure to include that in edit summaries going forward when applicable. entropyandvodka | talk 01:53, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
