November 2008 edit

  Hello - per Wikipedia's policy on verifiability, all content in Wikipedia must be verifiable to a reliable source. The information you have added about Guy Boutilier's family does not appear to meet this criterion, so I have reverted it. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

May 2010 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Irish dance, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This is particularly important when adding or changing any facts or figures and helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

September 2011 edit

  The consistency is in the historical timeline. The first mention, for instance, was in a section documenting when Danielle Smith became leader. The paragraph as structured already makes it clear that the polling figures mentioned applied to that moment in time alone. Adding random poll results from a different date in that spot on the timeline only serves to confuse the reader. As a person reads through the article, they will read that early on, poll numbers were low, then peaked with the leadership convention, then slid back into mid 2011.

Reference Errors on 30 March edit

  Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:23, 31 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

December 2015 edit

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site the statement: "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike".

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the Help Desk. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Materialscientist (talk) 21:15, 1 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

July 2016 edit

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Canadian Football League may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s and 1 "[]"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Wikipedia and copyright edit

  Hello 199.213.91.1, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Tany Yao have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of 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) 19:07, 8 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Deleting image at Eric Rosendahl edit

Please stop removing the image at Eric Rosendahl. No adequate reason has been given for the removal. Claims of it being "offensive", "biased", etc. are patently false. This was a public appearance by this individual and complies with WP:BLP. STOP removing it. If you persist in removing it, you may be blocked from editing. We do not operate at Wikipedia by seeing who can edit war more than anyone else, and thus dominate an article. Take the issue up at Talk:Eric Rosendahl and try to get consensus for you actions. If you have questions, please ask. --Hammersoft (talk) 17:15, 26 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Eric Rosendahl. --Hammersoft (talk) 17:29, 26 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
