Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Sect of Skhariya the Jew into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 10:17, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Judaizers, 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 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 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. Doug Weller talk 10:19, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

If you want to improve the article Judaizers

you should read the problems mentioned at the top of the article and try to solve them first. Get rid of the primary sources and replace them with secondary sources. Please don't add any more unsourced material or material sourced just to websites, etc. Find books published by reliable publishers (and preferably not an encyclopedia over a century old). These seem to exist.[1] Find peer reviewed journal articles.[2] All of that would be a great project. It would take some time but you could make this into a decent article.

Thank you so much for your advice Doug Weller. I really appreciate you taking the time and effort to write to me. I'm really sorry my efforts were rubbish. time is the one thing I'm short of. Kind regards. Judaizers (talk) 17:29, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Not rubbish. Just not the way our articles should be written. Looking at the state of it compared to what I know it could be I'm not surprised that a new editor might make the sort if edits you did. They weren't any worse than what is there now. Maybe you could just spooky a little bit at a time. Doug Weller talk —Preceding undated comment added 20:35, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank Doug Weller. Could you clarify what spooky means in that context please? Judaizers (talk) 21:29, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

P.S. Doug Weller please check back at the recent contributions to the Judaizers article because it seems it is not being improved at all. It really needs some professional attention. Best regards. Judaizers (talk) 17:05, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Um, spooky seems to be iPad talk - I assume I meant something like improve but my iPad thought it could do better. Anyway, I take your point about the recent edits there which have confused me - why do we get two new editors descending on a neglected article? Anyway, I've posted to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Christianity/Noticeboard about the article asking for help, feel free to add your concerns. Sorry to be slow in responding but I'm always busy! Doug Weller talk 18:38, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
