Your recent edits edit

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 02:35, 20 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

February 2016 edit

  Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User talk:Ian.thomson. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Ian.thomson (talk) 07:45, 20 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on User talk:Ian.thomson. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. At no point did I mention you when pointing out that middle schoolers are capable of finding and citing academic sources with no trouble. If that makes you feel inadequate, I'm not the one at fault here. Ian.thomson (talk) 08:45, 20 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Samuel the Lamanite into Divine providence. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:12, 2 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
