Hi. I see in a recent addition to Pan-African Paediatric Surgical Association you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 20:41, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Sure. I am still learning a lot here. Thank you for the valuable inforamtion Elmmag (talk) 15:50, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

The page Sameh Shehata has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://ima-edu.org/faculty/dr-sameh-shehata/ and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26655212/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review.

Your edit to Global health 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 information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. 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. — Diannaa (talk) 13:45, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Apologies. I am still learning here. I did some research and changed the wording to avoid plagiarism.

May I know which part exactly was incorrect? Elmmag (talk) 14:37, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi Elmmag,

I see you added a new section to the Nefertiti Bust page and marked this edit as "minor". I just wanted to let you know about minor edits. They are a very specific type of edit here on wiki. They are ones such as spelling corrections, little formatting fixes, reverting vandalism, etc, things that are not going to be disputed. Any edit that isn't this kind of thing is a "major" edit, such as the one you made over at Nefertiti Bust. Here is a link to WP:MINOR if you want to know more : ) Merytat3n (talk) 23:31, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Gotcha. Thank you :) Elmmag (talk) 07:02, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello Elmmag. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Elmmag. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Elmmag|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:43, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

I clearly and honestly do not have any financial relation or receive any compensation for my edits. 193.227.5.197 (talk) 07:47, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

I am an academic in Surgery and have insights and experience on notability and credibility. But I am trying to navigate my way on Wikipedia as much as I can Elmmag (talk) 07:50, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Elmmag. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:International Pediatric Endosurgery Group, a page you created, has not been edited in at least five months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 21:07, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Elmmag. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "International Pediatric Endosurgery Group".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:18, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Dear Liz,

I tried many times to edit the articles and use adequate references. But it was declined every time with generic responses. Do you mind returning the article and reviewing it ? Elmmag (talk) 06:18, 23 December 2025 (UTC)
