Question about copyvio Revdel and rewrite Content

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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: 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: 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.

Tip of the month:

When creating biographies, don't forget to use Template:DEFAULTSORT.
Accessible from "Wiki markup" at the foot of the page being edited,
it allows categories to be listed under the subject's family name rather than their first or given name.

Moving the needle: (statistics available via Humaniki tool)

24 Mar 2025: 20.070% of biographies on EN-WP are about women (2,057,083, 412,857 women)
27 Jan 2025: 20.031% (2,047,793 bios, 410,200 women)
