Instead of tagging dozens and dozens of article's for barelinks, you might consider using WP:Refill to fix them instead. -- ferret (talk) 15:51, 18 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. You added it to an article that had two bare links .. out of 40. {{link rot}} is for articles with serious bare link problems. -- GreenC 21:03, 25 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

And you added it to an article with nine (stable) bare links out of 62; an article which is obviously under active revision. If you would like to be helpful, jump in and fill those remaining links. Oddjob84 (talk) 13:03, 29 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Hello Doomdorm64, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Contrasting and categorization of emotions 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) 14:04, 24 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Please note that per WP:SPS, wikis are not considered reliable sources and should not be used in citations. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 20:16, 18 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

References

edit
 

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:56, 26 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

  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:

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!

That source

edit

Hi there, regarding my revert: when you find a source such as this, it is always a good idea to go to its main page https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=TAXM7NNYTloC and check the publishing data at the bottom. In this case it just gives the title of the book and "PediaPress" as a publisher. That should ring an alarm bell  . Indeed, I searched for a few sentence fragments in the book, and they all pointed to our Time article. This book is based on Wikipedia, so we definitley cannot use it here per wp:CIRCULAR.

  Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Mario Kart DS.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. You have already been warned by @Ferret, GreenC, and Oddjob84: about your needless and senseless use of {{linkrot}}. It's your job to fill in the links (WP:REFILL), and not to put warnings on a minority or nonexistent issue. Stop doing this, and go back and undo it immediately. This is disruptive editing and users can be blocked for this.Smuckola(talk) 07:45, 25 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Requirements for the perennial sources list

edit

Hi Doomdorm64, thanks for contributing entries for TV Tropes and Bulbapedia to the perennial sources list! I'd like to tell you about two rules that we follow when we edit the list:

  1. We can only add sources that are perennially discussed. At a minimum, sources should have at least two discussions or a request for comment on the reliable sources noticeboard before they can be added to the list. You can use the search box on the noticeboard to find past discussions.
  2. Please make sure the list stays in alphabetical order.

Since TV Tropes was discussed twice on the reliable sources noticeboard, I've indexed the two discussions and moved it between Tunefind and Us Weekly to keep the list in alphabetical order. However, since Bulbapedia was only discussed once on the reliable sources noticeboard, it doesn't quite meet the requirement to stay in the list, and I've removed it accordingly. Please feel free to ask me or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Reliable sources/Noticeboard if you have any questions. Thanks! — Newslinger talk 11:40, 18 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Hello, Doomdorm64. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Colin Murdoch".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. CptViraj (📧) 14:55, 15 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading File:Black Knight Holy Grail.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an 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.

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.

Please have a look also at the information at this page, which appears every time you edit J. K. Rowling. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 10:35, 2 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Your edits to Australia page

edit

Hello there I reverted your edits regarding minority rights in Australia because they were randomly inserted into the article the sources didn't support the content. The Guardian article you cited doesn't say that "Australia is one of the highest ranked countries in the world for LGBT equality." The statement "the majority of Australians support same sex marriage" has nothing to do with the Health care system. If you want to add information about same-sex marriage etc. please go onto the Talk page and see consensus for your proposed additions. Please do not reinstate content that has been reverted by another. The relevent policy is here. Happy to discuss on Talk page. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 23:03, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Cordless Larry (talk) 08:54, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

"Xth state to legalize same-sex marriage"

edit

Ok, so Local laws prior to Obergefell v. Hodges shows California was the third state to legalize. I think it introduces confusion saying that Washington was the seventh state to legalize, when it's the eighth with California included. I understand that Prop 8 made it illegal again, but it was still fully legalized for half a year. I think adding this numerical trivia muddies the waters with competing definitions of legalize. Especially when you have the problem of date of decision vs. effective date. As far as trivia goes, I think the fact that Washington was the first state to legalize via referendum is more notable anyway. TheSavageNorwegian 15:27, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I re-added the part, amending it to say Washington was the eighth jurisdiction to legalise same-sex marriage overall and the seventh state to do so (including DC). Is this acceptable? Doomdorm64 (talk) 17:46, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
I guess I'm just wondering where you're getting seventh from? It's the eighth state by my count and ninth including D.C. TheSavageNorwegian 18:26, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
California legalised same-sex marriage in 2008, banned it, and re-legalised it years later, so Washington is counted one place earlier. I hope this makes things clearer, thanks in advance. Doomdorm64 (talk) 20:32, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
This is my point, it's inaccurate to say Washington is eighth since California did legalize before them. No one is making you add this specific factoid seemingly designed to be some type of wrong, we don't have to do this.
I think of it this way: William Henry Harrison is the ninth U.S. President, despite having held the office for 31 days. Likewise, Grover Cleveland is the 22nd and 24th President. An argument could be made that California is the 2nd and 11th state to legalize. Do you see what I'm saying? It's open-ended how to interpret this list. Especially since if you go by the date of the ruling instead of effective date, then the order becomes different again, and Washington is tied for 9th place with two other states. The only information I'd feel comfortable sharing in the lead of Washington is that it was among the first states to legalize same-sex marriage, and the first to do so via referendum.

Looking for some help

edit

It looks like you might be more interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBTQ+ studies, but in case you're willing to lend a hand, Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine is trying to get at least one ref into every medicine-related article. The list is getting shorter, but we've still got a bit more than 100 to go, and the Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced articles/Backlog drives/November 2024 ends in just less than a week. If you could add a source to even one or two of them, it would really help us out. Here's how to help:

  1. Pick an article from the list. Most of them are organizations, people, or other subjects that do not require any specialized medical knowledge.
  2. Find at least one reliable source and add it to the article.
  3. Remove or update any maintenance tags at the top of the article.
  4. Edit the list to mark off the item or leave some notes about it so the next person will know that this one is done. (Try editing the page in the visual editor, because it's much easier for tables.)
  5. That's all!

Also, if you ever need help with medicine-related articles, please feel free to put Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine on your watchlist, and to join the discussion whenever you'd like. Thanks, WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:35, 24 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
