Hi @MCE89, I noticed that my edit in "Golden Square (Iraq)" was removed due to copyright concerns, and I completely understand the importance of avoiding direct copying. Would it be acceptable if I rewrote the same informations in my own words while keeping proper citations? I appreciate your time and any guidance you can provide on this. If you accept that, I will make sure that I will write everything in my own words. best regards!! R3YBOl (talk) 09:57, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

:Hi @R3YBOl! Of course, you're very welcome to rewrite the information in your own words and add it back to the page. Just make sure to avoid copying or closely paraphrasing the source. Let me know if you have any other questions about copyright. MCE89 (talk) 10:03, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

::Well I am a little to afraid to make a move myself because of warnings and account problems hahahhaa I was saying why I wouldn't type what Imm gonna say so you can read it. If you find it acceptable You can notify me to rewrite the content. Here check this sandbox User:R3YBOl/sandbox/R3YBOI User 3 R3YBOl (talk) 10:25, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

:::@MCE89So is it acceptable? R3YBOl (talk) 10:55, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

::::Unfortunately I would say it's still too close to the source. You've reworded the text, but you're still presenting exactly the same information in the same structure and order. For instance, compare these sections:

::::Source text: {{tq|The radical faction, mainly nationalists but also Islamists, was more powerful in Iraq than any other Arab state. Sati al-Husri, a leading architect of Arab radical nationalist ideology, was strongly pro-German and used that country as his model as director of Iraq’s education system}}

::::Your version: {{tq|Iraq had one of the strongest radical factions in the Middle East, consisting primarily of nationalist and Islamist groups. Among them was Sati' al-Husri, a key thinker behind Arab radical nationalism, who openly admired Germany and modeled Iraq’s education system after it.}}

::::The wording is different, but it's still very closely mirroring the ideas and structure of the source. I'd suggest having a read of Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing#How to write acceptable content, which has some tips on avoiding close paraphrasing. Essentially you need to identify the main ideas from the source and then write your own original prose conveying those ideas, rather than starting from the source and then rewording it.

:::::Hi again @MCE89, Well I was saying, why don't you fix what I have edited before. Like you can find what's wanted in the sandbox, create a section branch and do the other, It would be really kind if you contribute in the page of Golden Square (Iraq), Because I still want to like include these informations. I would appreciate if you help. Best wishes! R3YBOl (talk) 16:17, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Welcome to the world of Australian Literature in Wikipedia. It's always pleasing to see someone new working in the field.

I see from your User page that you are working on THE HAND THAT SIGNED THE PAPER. Excellent. It was on my radar as something to fix but I am extremely glad that someone else has decided to take up the challenge. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 10:59, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hi! Thanks for the welcome and for all your work in the area! I'm having a lot of fun with it — my goal at the moment is to hopefully slowly work my way through all the Stella Prize shortlists.

:And yep, I'm excited to have a crack at The Hand that Signed the Paper. It definitely looks like a challenge so might turn into a bit of a long project, but should be a super interesting page to work on. MCE89 (talk) 13:02, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

:@BuySomeApples Thank you, I appreciate it! MCE89 (talk) 03:44, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
