Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Persecution of Christians 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. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. And do not "sign" your edits by writing "anonymous user" and an IP.

Your edit to Muslim conquest of Spain 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. R Prazeres (talk) 17:01, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
Additionally, a reading of your edits makes it clear that you are adding material exclusively promoting a certain point of view. Please note that Wikipedia has a core policy about maintaining a neutral point of view in its articles; see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Please familiarize yourself with it. Even if material is properly sourced, continuously adding content to imply support for a particular point of view may be a violation of this policy. Thanks, R Prazeres (talk) 17:04, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
Hello H20346! Your additions to Christian influences on the Islamic world 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.
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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 12:20, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

. Ad Orientem (talk) 03:41, 29 May 2023 (UTC)You've been told over and over again to stop adding WP:OR and stop citing primary sources carelessly. This last addition you made at Christian influences on the Islamic world is complete nonsense; you cited a 9th-century Muslim historian, al-Tabari, to support a claim that is clearly your own and which he obviously wouldn't have made. If you make these kind of misleading edits again, you may be reported to administrators with a recommendation that you be blocked from editing. R Prazeres (talk) 09:21, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
Here, you changed a source by modern scholar J. Laurent to a book from 1913, obviously not by Laurent, though you let the text continue to say it was. And with an edit summary saying "spelling mistake". That's disruptive editing in several ways. You will soon be blocked again, this time for longer, if you don't edit more carefully.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
