Disambiguation link notification for July 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Reach Me, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Variety. 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.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello AlineXu, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Draft:Spatini Sauce has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without 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. Please don't add copyright material to this wiki, not even temporarily for editing. Everything you add needs to be written in your own words please. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 01:04, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Maggie

Aline,

Thanks for the addition to the Maggie Lettvin article. I created the article, and had to fight for Wikipedia to keep it. I love that NYT article! It's a great addition to the article. I lived in Bexley when they did. Are you an alum? Paulmlieberman (talk) 14:06, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

@Paulmlieberman, yes, I did live in Bexley when the Lettvins lived there. I hope that we (and other wikipedians) will build and bolster Maggie's article to the full extent that she deserves. AlineXu (talk) 16:55, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

John Shannon Hendrix

Hello AlineXu. The article "John Shannon Hendrix" that you recently created and that you update regularly can be further improved to receive more visibility and also to start to be rated for academic notability. Placing the tag for that purpose will begin the process of attracting more editors to improve it just in case some might later find that it does not have sufficient references or does not meet the notability criteria and aim at calling for its deletion. Since you seem to know the content, maybe you can further enhance its quality with citations and references. Thanks (AcademeEditorial (talk) 08:24, 10 July 2017 (UTC))

@AcademeEditorial, I am grateful for your kind tagging of the article on John Shannon Hendrix, which I agree is a good step toward bolstering the article's quality. I'm not an expert on Professor Hendrix's field or work, but I've read enough of his writings to try my best at enhancing the article with more citations and references. Thanks! AlineXu (talk)

Two notes

Hello, I'm Tamzin. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you unlinked one or more redlinks from Galaxy Quest. Often redlinks can be helpful, so we don't remove them just because they are red. They help improve Wikipedia by attracting editors to create needed articles.

In addition, clicking on the "What links here" special link (in the Wikipedia Toolbox at left) on a missing article shows how many—and which—articles depend on that article being created. This can help prioritize article creation. Redlinks are useful! Please only remove a redlink if you are pretty sure that it is to a non-notable topic and not likely ever to be created. -- Tamzin (she/they) | o toki tawa mi. 03:30, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Also, this is a really common mistake, but please take a look at Help:Minor edits to see what does and doesn't count as minor. Most of the edits you're tagging as minor actually aren't, especially significant content expansions like this. -- Tamzin (she/they) | o toki tawa mi. 03:32, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

This is very helpful – I must confess that I didn't realize redlinks are useful at all. I will certainly apply this guidance in future and be much more fastidious about only removing redlinks when there is a good reason to do so. And I will carefully review the definition of what does and doesn't count as minor for any of my future edits. I am quite grateful for your kind and worthwhile advice. – AlineXu (talk) 15:49, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
