Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Voello, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Grand Arcade (Wigan) have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or 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 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 designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 can, but please follow the steps in 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. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:11, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Road signs in the United Kingdom, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Colin Anderson (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.)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Operation Pluto

I'm taking this as a vote that the article is a "UK engineering-related article", what EEng would call the "chain rule". Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:20, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

I'm getting to "that age", so maybe I'm missing something. Why would I call it the chain rule? or maybe the chain rule? EEng 05:39, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

The chain rule says that engineering-related articles use furlongs and chains. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 07:41, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Ah yes. As your reward, here's a link to the world's largest collection of chain-related songs and videos: WT:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers/Archive_158#Distances_measured_in_chains (samples: [1] [2]). EEng 18:35, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

In Operation Pluto the first sentence of the lead mentions it was an "operation by British engineers" and the majority of the article concerns the engineering of the pipeline. So, yes, I would class it as one in my view. --Voello _talk 05:58, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
