Yebble

Wow, thanks for letting us know about that. If you don't mind, I might write articles about the new locality and Isaacs myself ... not now but relatively soon. If I'd known about the new locality when it had been established, I would have made the relevant changes at the time. Graham87 06:07, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello GHC411! Your additions to Draft:Yebble have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 00:26, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

New articles created

As per my message above, I've created new articles at Sam Isaacs and Yebble, Western Australia. Any feedback you have on them would be appreciated. I've redirected your draft to the latter page. Graham87 14:15, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Margaret River Perimeter Road/Perimeter Road ...

Hey, I don't doubt you per Google Maps and, say, this, but what's your ref re the Perimeter Road name? It's helpful when making major changes like this to justify them in the edit summary. I'm almost tempted to go down there and check it out myself ... Graham87 13:43, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

And I've gone and moved it, after finding relevant references. Graham87 12:06, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Sam Isaacs

Hey, thanks for your addition there, but I've slapped a {{fact}} tag on it because you didn't cite any sources. See Help:Referencing for beginners for help on how to do that. Sources don't have to be online, but they must be published by a reputable publisher (i.e. not be user-generated or self-published, except in certain circumstances, which actually might apply for a trivial fact like this). Wikipedia is widely copied by mirrors and forks, as well as people who copy individual articles for their own purposes, so it's vital that its content should be as well-cited as possible. If you feel more comfortable communicating with me by email, you can do so at grahamwpgmail.com. Graham87 12:05, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer. I'll reply mostly by email but see my edit summary. Graham87 03:35, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
