File:Control copyright icon.svg Hello EliteArcher88, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to :Matt Gaetz 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, [https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/using_research/paraphrase_exercises/index.html 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. Moneytrees🌴^{Talk🌲Help out at CCI!} 19:59, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

You're violating WP:BRD on Turning Point USA and should self-revert immediately. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 21:12, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

::Its okay SNoogs, admin Black_kite explained how the edit must be approached in Wikipedias voice, I'm working on rewording it now. which if you look in my revert I invited you to do if you cared about it being accurate, but it seems you just want it omitted completely? EliteArcher88 (talk) 21:35, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

::: I do want it omitted completely. Why are we citing the drivel of liars and conspiracy theorists? Snooganssnoogans (talk) 21:39, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

::::Snoogs, despite your personal beliefs, Fox News, a reliable verifiable source reported that Charlie Kirk stated that he refused money from the PPP, this is notable as it is also reported by a reliable/verfiable Daily beast article here, [https://www.thedailybeast.com/pro-trump-student-group-turning-point-usa-applied-for-then-rejected-coronavirus-aid article link] and also a National Review article here [https://www.nationalreview.com/news/turning-point-usa-brags-about-rejecting-big-government-coronavirus-relief-loan-after-applying-for-it/ article link]. So if its notable and corroborated between sources. Worded correctly as Black_Kite suggested, what's the issue? I admit maybe my initial edit was worded out of Wikipedias voice, but if your reasoning is bias about Charlie Kirk, I don't think thats good enough reason to omit notable documented, published events.EliteArcher88 (talk) 21:59, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

{{Ivm|2=This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here{{#ifeq:{{Gs/topics|sanctions sanctions = covid }}||.
|:

{{talkquote|}}}}

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
