Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Calvin411, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Nuclear power in Canada has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• 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, 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 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 designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 can, but please follow the steps in 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. — Diannaa (talk) 20:25, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Canadian spelling

Thank you for your contributions to the Montreal Metro article. Because it is an article about a Canadian topic, it should follow Canadian spelling for consistency per WP:ENGVAR. Please stop using the US spelling for words like "centre", "metre", "travelling", " favour", "licence" (the noun - "license" is a verb), etc. Thanks for your cooperation.

Generation III reactors

Dear Calvin,

you significantly edited the Generation III reactors article with this edit. I tried to find sources that could substantiate your edit regards the lists of the reactors, but unfortunately could't succeed. Could you please write me, what was the source you used?

I'm asking, because I'm interesting in news about Russian nuclear technology, and so I know for sure that VVER-1000/392 (AES-92) is definitely a Generation III design, and that all sources I examined classify VVER-1200/392M /491 /513 (AES-2006) as a Generation III design (for example, see Nuclear Energy Encyclopedia, page 237).

Dr Bug (Vladimir V. Medeyko) 07:33, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Dear Dr Bug,

My understanding is that the distinction between generation III and III is foggy and more a commercial one. Thus I put only the latest developments in the GenIII category (Ex: ESBWR is an evolution of the genIII ABWR). I choose to put the VVER-1200 reactors in the GenIII category to reflect the idea that their characteristics are different from western requirements. The MIR-1200 and VVER-1500 being versions in "full compliance with European rules and standards" according to their manufacturer.

Toyota Supra sales

Thank you for your edit at Toyota Supra. Can you provide references to support those numbers? Are they world-wide or for a particular market (eg Japan only, US only, N.America)?  Stepho  talk  23:42, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
