Disambiguation link notification for January 15 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Andrey Lugovoy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page FSB. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A tag has been placed on File:Flight information screens in Vietnam airports hacked.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Survey Invite edit

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=3dz0m2ubQw1KSnb_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_3xbM9IVPh9Lc8SN&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 19:38, 28 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of 2017 Hanoi hostage crisis edit

Hello DanGong,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged 2017 Hanoi hostage crisis for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Hi Cwmhiraeth, I have removed the violation part. So it should not be an issue any more, please check! Thank you in advanced for your answer! DanGong (talk) 10:53, 1 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
There is at least one more copyvio section, copypasted from here and further violations here, here and here. Do you not understand that Wikipedia cannot use copyrighted material in this way? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:14, 1 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Cwmhiraeth, I thought as long as it's a news, it does not matter to copy it. I will summarize the content then. But it takes time, because English is only my second foreign language. Is it okay? DanGong (talk) 11:26, 1 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
You need to use your own words and not copy-paste news or anything else. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:33, 1 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
