Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Continuation War into Winter War. 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. DanCherek (talk) 22:46, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Winter War content on World War II

Greeting Betelgeuse, thanks for the work on Winter War related articles. I see that you are clearly knowledgeable on the topic and have experience editing Wikipedia articles about it, I was wondering if you could at some point when you have time have a look at World War II and the content there about the war. Since the article is about the entire world war it's just a snippet obviously, but I think it can still be improved, better worded and possibly even expanded a bit. Just an idea for you, cheers. --TylerBurden (talk) 15:55, 12 April 2022 (UTC)‎

Hi @TylerBurden,

Thanks for the idea! Yes, I'll take a look at the article at some point. Betelgeuse X (talk) 21:02, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Winter war

Let's not get into an edit war. Did you understand the citation I put? Real Robert J. Oppenheimer (talk) 09:23, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Did you read my edit message? The source doesn't support what you wrote. Betelgeuse X (talk) 09:34, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

your revert at puppet state

That's not "spelling", just a word order that seemed less awkward to me. Could you explain to me please why you think the original version is better? Just asking. Elinruby (talk) 19:04, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

You wrote "Soviet-occupied ereas". I'm assuming you meant "areas" but I wasn't sure. Though I think "Soviet-occupied territory" would be a better option. Betelgeuse X (talk) 05:09, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Watch that revert button

i did find what you were probably looking at, but it would have been better to ping me and let me fix it. You weren't exactly wrong to revert but you were definitely not reverting vandalism; it looks like Google Voice picked up the television. The fact that you marked it vandalism also means I can't just do it the way.you should have done it, I have to go check all those verbs tenses again, blah. You are pretty new to be editing let alone patrolling a very disputed contentious topic area also. Have you been notified about contentious topics? If not I think I am required to do that. Elinruby (talk) 04:22, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

@Elinruby Gee, you mean I wasn't wrong to revert "delivered a Union of Lithuanian Freedom Fighters" and "and in your day at us that's wisely done most powerful questionsyear"? Yes, this qualifies as vandalism. And blaming your edits on Google Voice is laughable; are you aware that you can check your edits before publishing them? Clearly not. It would appear that the novice editor here is you. Betelgeuse X (talk) 10:06, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Hahaha ok fine. If you say you have more editS than I do I can only assume that you are probably telling the truth. And also that you know nothing about the mobile platform. Your ancientness may wish to be aware that contentious topics exist and may involve concepts unfamiliar to you. Merry Christmas. ps maybe double-check that definition. Or not. I really don't care.

Elinruby (talk) 10:44, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

@Elinruby This has gotta be the dumbest argument I've ever seen. Are you ten years old?

So I know nothing about the mobile platform because I don't make idiotic mistakes on Wikipedia? Brilliant logic there bud. Obviously you have no business editing Wikipedia on your phone since you don't know how to use it. Instead of crying about getting your broken edits reverted, learn how to actually use your phone. Betelgeuse X (talk) 11:42, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

if we were arguing or I was crying then possibly you might be right. There's your notification. Merry Christmas. Elinruby (talk) 11:58, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

this just lets you know special rules apply in the topic area Elinruby (talk) 06:26, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
