Ways to improve Beowulf: A New Verse Translation

Hello, Bagabondo,

Thank you for creating Beowulf: A New Verse Translation.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

While it is important to show that the book exists, and the topic seems to be notable, we can't use a piece of writing as a reference for an article on that piece of writing.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Utopes}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Changing infobox images

Hi, I don't know what the overall consensus is on this, but on Entertainment topics, we have a custom of placing a note on the Talk page and soliciting opinions rather than unilaterally changing the image in the infobox. Often, infobox images are arrived at after quite a lot of dispute or discussion and consensus-building, and we hope to gain WP:CONSENSUS before such a visible change to the article. As you can see, I objected to the Luke image being changed. Please consider that there might be a standing consensus before changing infobox images in the future, thanks.

Hi Elizium23, I replied on the talk page for Luke. I agree with your reason for reverting my change. Bagabondo (talk) 04:50, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Aesop

I'll explain the reversal of your latest edit on this subject, which is ultimately based on the WP:OFFTOPIC guideline. That article is about Aesop the individual; there is a separate article on Aesop's Fables and their possible origins where the claim by Babrius might belong, but even then all that stuff about Ninus and Bel seems to me of doubtful relevance. Possibly a more appropriate place might be in the article about Babrius himself since, being of 'Syrian' origin, he was closer to the story-telling tradition in that region.

As an editor, you have a duty to find the best context for claims of that kind; in this case you have to decide whether the view of Babrius was generally held (and so belongs in the fables article) or whether it was just the view of one author, in which case it would belong in the article about him. Even before this, however, you need to look at the WP:SOURCE policy, which states that the source must be accessible. In the online source you give the name of Babrius does not appear in the opening paragraphs of the article; to see the rest one needs to have a subscription and you'll find that such references are deprecated. It may be that the information is repeated by someone else, but you would need to search for it. Good luck with your research. Sweetpool50 (talk) 08:44, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Edit summaries are supposed to be brief. To judge by several of yours recently, if they need so much explanation then they are contentious and should be discussed on the article's Talk page first. WP relies on WP:CONSENSUS and co-operation between editors. It's now time you get to know editing policies better, of which I see you have been reminded previously. You need to be wary of getting a reputation for WP:EDITWARRING. Sweetpool50 (talk) 08:58, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Rudolf Simek into Germanic peoples. 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. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 17:22, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Ian Worthington moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Ian Worthington, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:02, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
