August 2020 edit

  Hello, I'm Sundayclose. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Scarborough Fair (ballad), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 18:33, 28 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Scarborough Fair (ballad), you may be blocked from editing. Sundayclose (talk) 20:35, 28 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Information about sources edit

I want to try to help you understand the problems in the way you use sources. A source must verify ALL of the information that you put in an article. Here's an example. You made this edit: ""Queen" Caroline Hughes sang My Father He Built Me a Shady Bower to Peter Kennedy in her caravan near Blandford, Dorset on 19 April 1968." Yet the citation you link has nothing to confirm "to Peter Kennedy in her caravan near Blandford". For more information, again, please read WP:V, WP:RS, WP:CITE. Sundayclose (talk) 23:10, 28 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Sources edit

Thanks for your work expanding Laurence Price. Even if the same source supports each paragraph, which I think is probably the case here (I looked at ODNB while rescuing your work but didn't check every detail), please add it as a reference for each paragraph. Citing it just once, at the end, can create the impression that the rest is unsourced. Thanks. PamD 05:45, 29 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Artus Moser edit

 

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 Artus Moser requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://finding-aids.lib.unc.edu/20005/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

April 2021 edit

  Hi Sdoknfonfosijogij! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Scouse that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Copyright issue: text from 1978 recording edit

Hi, as you seem very keen to add a quotation to Wren day, I thought it might be useful to let you know why your edit is getting reverted.

  • Second, as I mentioned before, you need to understand copyright. WP:COPYOTHERS correctly says that "All creative works are copyrighted, by international agreement, unless either they fall into the public domain or their copyright is explicitly disclaimed". If you allege that your quote is out of copyright it's up to you to prove it; it's not up to other editors to establish the contrary.
  • According to Wikipedia:Public domain, generally, in the US, any work published before January 1, 1926, anywhere in the world is in the public domain. The text you want to add appears to have been first published in a 1978 recording, which makes it very likely to be copyright-protected. We have no idea whether this is an ancient text that has been repeated orally without change for hundreds of years or whether at least some of it was created, edited, or improved for the recording itself. But we can be sure that the text can't be hosted on Wikipedia it unless you can personally demonstrate that it was published prior to 1926.
  • Finally, your edit has been reverted several times by experienced Wikipedians and you need to take that seriously. If you simply keep putting it back, you will be engaging in an edit war which will very quickly result in your editing privileges being removed. That's a particular issue here due to the copyright concern. Please take care, and ask if you need help.

The correct way forward, if you still take the view that the text should be included, is to post a message on the talk page, explaining what you want to do and seek feedback from others. (But don't re-post the copyrighted text there either, as that would still be a copyright infringement). I hope that helps. MichaelMaggs (talk) 21:05, 6 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

February 2022 edit

March 2022 edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Traditional singer. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 04:01, 17 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Introduction to contentious topics edit

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, 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.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

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.
