User talk:MSClaudiu

Hello MSClaudiu! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page.

If you are a Wikipedian then you may notice some differences in policies and the style of our articles. These include:
 * NPOV &rarr; be fair (not quite the same thing!)
 * be bold &rarr; plunge forward
 * Village pump &rarr; travellers' pub
 * External links &rarr; We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.
 * sandbox &rarr; graffiti wall
 * stub tagging &rarr; Article status

It may also be very useful for you to check out Welcome, Wikipedians. If you need help, take a look at Help, or else post a message in the travellers' pub or on my talk page. Thanks for contributing!

Thanks for starting an article about Dorohoi, but I had to delete it, as it was all copy-pasted from Wikipedia without credit in violation of Wikipedia's Creative Commons license and Copyleft. If you believe the town has enough of interest to travelers to merit a Wikivoyage article, please restart one without direct quotes from Wikipedia if at all possible, and credit your source in your edit summary (which you would type in the "Summary" box below your edit screen) or on the article's talk page.

Thanks.

All the best,

 * We usually continue discussion where they started. You say on IK's talk page that there was no copyright violation. However, all the Understand of your article is copied verbatim from the Wikipedia article. If you are the copyright owner of that article, you could say so and explain (there were lots of other contributors among the last 50 edits to the Wikipedia article).


 * Wikipedia articles are under the CC-BY-SA, which allows copying them given that the licence is followed, among other things that the authors are credited ("BY"), e.g. by a permanent link to the article version from the edit summary. Without that attribution copying parts of the article is a copyright violation.

 * Ok. I will try to rewrite the article but the info in it was general and found on many website s about traveling or encyclopedia style.--MSClaudiu (talk) 13:39, 20 March 2021 (UTC)


 * You can use the info, but not the wording. If the wording is found elsewhere, it is probably a copyright infringement, unless the copy attributes Wikipedia (i.e. the Wikipedia article). Anyway, the Understand is just a start, and should be about as short as it was now; most of the page should be travel info, and you might be better off starting with that bit. What is on Wikipedia can after all be read by following the Wikipedia link. –LPfi (talk) 17:54, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
