  Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Evolutionary automata, from its old location at User:Eeberbach/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Praxidicae (talk) 16:12, 27 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Hello Eeberbach, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Draft:Evolutionary automata have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• 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. (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 the 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 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 the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:47, 31 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Your addition to Draft:Evolutionary automata has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. If you are the copyright holder: we need to have documentation that shows the copyright holders have given permission for the material to be copied to this website. Wikipedia has procedures in place for this purpose. Please see WP:Donating copyrighted materials for an explanation of how to do it. Posting licenses on your draft itself is not the way to do it. There's a sample permission email at WP:Consent. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:55, 8 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

The content was not removed from your draft for "unknown reasons". You've already been told three times that we can't accept copyright material without the written permission of the copyright holders. Please don't re-add the copyright material to the draft until the OTRS team has had a chance to review the permission email. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:37, 24 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Note that we wrote Wikipedia copyright release statement in the draft, and, additionally we sent it separately by email. We did not violate any copyrights, because we are the authors, and keep the copyrights. How could we violate copyrights of our own text? It is obvious that our submission was based on our own text. For me, "unknown reasons" was removal of the random, but important parts of our draft, without that our draft did not make too much sense, i.e., crucial for the Wiki page contents have been persistently removed (and it looks that without any understanding). This could be done only by the person(s) who does not have any idea about technical contents of our submission. I say so because we with my coauthor published a few hundred of papers in reputable sources, and we are experienced writers, and our former submissions were always checked by professionals, i.e., the people who know the area, and we did not have so much problems like with this Wikipedia submission. Your comments very often sound strange and almost impossible to understand (note that we both have D.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees thus we are capable to understand very complicated text, but not your comments).

I include our Wikipedia copyright release statement from the draft:

We, Eugene Eberbach and Mark Burgin, declare that we own the copyright as authors of the material (positions[2-16] in references) on which our submission was based. Our Wiki submission obviously is not a research paper, but is based on series of our former publications[2-16], published in reputable sources, thus obviously there can be some repetitions. We decided that there is a time to make evolutionary automata, subject of our encyclopedic Wiki submission, to be accessible for general Wikipedia public. The license granted is dual: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license and GNU Free Documentation license. Our release is irrevocable to the world into the public domain, and done in reliable and verifiable manner.

Thank you, Eugene Eberbach
