April 2018

Hello, I'm Sierrak28. An edit that you recently made to Tracii Guns seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Sierrak28 (talk) 00:17, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

timeline colors

Hello, please take a look at articles within Category:Lists of members by band. Your preferred colors are not consistent with other, similar articles. Your recent changes have been reverted to the more standard colors. Cheers, UW Dawgs (talk) 23:16, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

April 2018

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Rob Gardner (musician), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. RF23 (talk) 10:49, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Tracii Guns, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. RF23 (talk) 11:50, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello ARMcgrath, and welcome to Wikipedia. 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 here.

• 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• 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 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.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• 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 in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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. In regards to the images you uploaded Thank you. RF23 (talk) 17:41, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

You've been warned before, stop uploading copyrighted photos. they aren't allowed on Wikipedia.RF23 (talk) 06:20, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

April 2018

Please do not remove the {{copyviocore}} template from articles, as you did with File:Wardin2017.jpg. Your action has been reverted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept non-free text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted, and removing copyright notices will not help your case. You can properly contest the deletion at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. If you are the owner of the material, you may release the material under the Creative Commons and GFDL licenses, as detailed at WP:IOWN. Alternatively, you are welcome to create a draft in your own words at File talk:Wardin2017.jpg/Temp. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators and/or removers of the copyright notice templates may be blocked from editing. Do not remove copyvio tags from images you uploaded, this is your first and only warning. RF23 (talk) 01:34, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! UW Dawgs (talk) 19:39, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

F ARMcgrath (talk) 11:27, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Please preview and consolidate your edits

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

The "show preview" button is right next to the "publish changes" button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. UW Dawgs (talk) 19:57, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Steve Riley (drummer), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rock (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:32, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

April 2018

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Sears. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. General Ization ^Talk 02:38, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of KidBehindACamera

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on KidBehindACamera requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Largoplazo (talk) 02:06, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

This is not the first time I created but why two in a row I had some information ARMcgrath (talk) 02:19, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi. As the deletion notice suggests, the article didn't give any sense of why this encyclopedia would have an article on this YouTube channel. I also didn't find any information about it elsewhere that I felt would meet Wikipedia's notability requirements. Largoplazo (talk) 16:08, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

May 2018

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. It's generally considered a huge faux-pax to delete content on someone else's talk page, even if it's your own comments. Strike through them using <s></s> if they no longer apply, but do not delete them.RF23 (talk) 03:35, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

All of or nearly need to be intact I see why where others come from. Now I have to read more closely. I learn more about Wikipedia every day. Happy Wiki

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Rob Gardner (musician) into Michael Jagosz. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:12, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

redirects

Do not change article links into redirects. I've seen you do it sevearl times now, ie, changing Michael Jagosz into Mike Jagosz.RF23 (talk) 08:06, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

You also don't need to remove links from articles when a page doesn't exist. Unless it's something that would obviously never have a wikipedia page (like someone's high school band or something), red links usually stay. From Wikipedia:Red link "In general, a red link should be allowed to remain in an article if it links to a title that could plausibly sustain an article, but for which there is no existing article, or article section, under any name. Do not remove red links unless you are certain that Wikipedia should not have an article on the subject, or if the red link could be replaced with a link to an article section where the subject is covered as part of a broader topic (see Notability – Whether to create standalone pages). Good red links help Wikipedia—they encourage new contributors in useful directions, and remind us that Wikipedia is far from finished." RF23 (talk) 21:22, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

LA guns and others

At the bottom of every page is a box called 'authority control'. There's always some good information posted there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.195.80 (talk) 00:30, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Hey you should make an account so people can recognize you more ARMcgrath (talk) 11:43, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Block notices

Hi, I generally know what I'm doing. If I didn't include a block notice, there is usually a reason. Non-admins should not place block notices on user talk pages. Please don't do so in the future. TonyBallioni (talk) 04:42, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know I won’t do it in the future. Happy Wiki.ARM (talk) 09:07, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: User:TheRealGuri01

Hello ARMcgrath. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:TheRealGuri01, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. Thank you. – Joe (talk) 18:21, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Dirty Deeds (AC/DC album)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Dirty Deeds (AC/DC album). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Comatmebro (talk) 03:15, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
