  Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. --John (talk) 22:08, 1 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello again. Please do not just copy/paste content from a website ([1]) to a Wikipedia article, as you did to Worth School. This is considered a copyright violation, and is flatly unacceptable. If you have done that anywhere else, you must revert your edits or remove the copied content as soon as possible. See Wikipedia:Copyright violations for more. Thank you.

Hi Grayfell!

One is allowed to restructure the same content but using different words, terms or sentences for example?

Many thanks again --CreiterAdam45z (talk) 12:11, 4 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Yes, that's right, but WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASEs are not really any better than outright copies. Also, official websites and similar tend to be poor for establishing WP:DUE weight of content. WP:PRIMARY also advises against basing large passages on such sources for different reasons. That's not specifically about copyvios, but it's a closely-related stumbling block. Does that answer your question? Grayfell (talk) 00:05, 5 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Yes! Grayfell, thank you very much indeed!

Have a good day --CreiterAdam45z (talk) 20:39, 10 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Spanish Empire Map

Do you have any sources for the locations on your Spanish Empire map? I can't find anything for Spanish colonies in places such as the Bird's Head Peninsula and Somalia. --Bobbbcat (Bobbbcat) 14:09, 9 June, 2017. Bobbbcat (talk) 03:11, 8 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

You are in danger if edit warring, over blatant synthesis. If you revert it again you will almost certainly get a block for it.Slatersteven (talk) 10:47, 8 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Slatersteven How was that blatant? I believe there was a lot of paraphrasing going on.

Thanks for uploading File:Coat of arms of the University of Alcalá.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:11, 8 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
