If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history.

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Kabul. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. For some reason you inserted a picture of Helsinki. Gyrofrog (talk) 20:53, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Footnotes for you info in Kapisa Province?

Greetings, you've added some very specific info to Kapisa Province, which clearly isn't just something off the top of your head. Can you provide a footnote as to where this info comes from? Failing that, detailed info of unknown origin is a little sketchy, so it'll get deleted in a day or so if you can't provide a footnote. Hopefully you know where the info came from and can just toss in a footnote per WP:Footnote. Feel free to message me with any questions. MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:14, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of North-South Corridor, Afghanistan

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on North-South Corridor, Afghanistan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Who.was.phone (talk) 18:05, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Inaccurate Nimruz Province changes, and use Edit Summary to explain edits

Greetings, the the Saffarid Dynasty was Persian, not "Afghan" - there was no "Afghanistan" state at that time, and the Saffarids were not Pashtun, to the term is very anachronistic. So I have removed your addition (which was also mis-capitalised "afghan") from that article.

Further, you need to use Edit Summary each time you save the page, so we can understand what changes you're making and why. Otherwise, it may often be assumed that your edits are tampering or vandalism, so make sure you explain each time you save. MatthewVanitas (talk) 17:44, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Australia

Hi! Unfortunately, I've had to remove your recent additions to the Australia article, as it seems you had copied them across from another article online. While you did acknowledge that in the reference, Wikipedia can't accept material that is copyrighted or overly close to copyrighted text. The Wikipedia:Copy-paste article will help, if you need more information about the issues. - Bilby (talk) 00:47, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Nick-D (talk) 00:56, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for re-adding copyright violations to several articles despite being warned about this. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Nick-D (talk) 11:23, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

To explain, per your question on my talk page, all material needs to be in your own words, or it needs to come from a source which fits our licensing requirements. The latter is fairly rare, and it is always assumed that material is copyrighted unless we have know otherwise, and thus as a rule it is worth assuming that everything needs to be either rewritten in your own words, or, in a few cases, presented as a directly quote. What you've been doing is copying parts of articles and pasting them together with the occasional small change in wording - what you need to do is rewrite the material in your own words, so that the same ideas are there, but the way they are presented is very different. There's some explanation at the copy-paste page, and a good set of frequently asked questions at the copyright FAQ. - Bilby (talk) 12:17, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Please note that this is a block with no set end date, and not a permanent block. You will be unblocked if you can demonstrate to an administrator (using the appeal process) that you understand Wikipedia's rules around copyright and will abide by them in the future.
