Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Carlton Lake, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Broadside. 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.)

Your contributed article, Click (digital entertainment magazine)

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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Click (digital entertainment magazine). 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 – Click (magazine). 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 Click (magazine). 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. PRAXIDICAE💕 20:28, 3 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Hello Antiquated! Your additions to My Neighbor Totoro have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) 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.

  • 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. 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.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
  • 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 either 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.
  • 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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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) 22:39, 7 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Solution (business)

edit
 

The article Solution (business) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable, unsuited for Wikipedia project. Better for wikt:solution

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. microbiologyMarcus (petri dish·growths) 18:23, 8 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

The Unfortunate Rake

edit

Perhaps we could discuss the content and references you added to the synopsis section. For me, this would not be the place to insert interpretations ie what Lloyd thought the character ‘seems’ to feel.

it is not the case that he demands a full military funeral. The most that could be said is that some aspects might be seen as military

I think given the historical misunderstandings about this song, which Lloyd’s work embodies in parts, the best thing would be simply to present the text of, say, a Such broadsheet, ie the one Lloyd refers to.

By the way I have a copy of the Sing article. I’ll double check but I don’t think he says in that article the words you quote him as saying. Interested to know where you found a copy. It took me ages to find one.

Thank you for reading.

Thanks for your contributions to Solution (business). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:00, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Cassiopeia. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to National Recording Registry because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Cassiopeia talk 02:10, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Cassiopeia, I left a message about this on the talk page of that article, and I suggest we discuss it there. If you look carefully at the links you will see that one of them is to to a Wikipedia article about the author of the piece in question, and the other two are links to audio of the respective pieces. - Antiquated (talk) 13:36, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi Antiquated, I have removed your edits on the above page. Pls note that utube or any social media is considered not relaible source. You can add the info in if you have independent, reliable source suh as from the newspaper or books. Thank you. Cassiopeia talk 08:28, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to National Recording Registry. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Cassiopeia talk 03:54, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, you need to start a conversation at Talk:1952 steel strike before changing the title. Also, your edit removed the edit history of the original page. Please don't copy and paste a page, and read Wikipedia:Redirect. Thank you. APK hi :-) (talk) 07:56, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from hijacking pages, as you did with one of the pages you edited. Should you believe the subject you were writing about deserves an article, please use the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version that you can then get feedback on. Please also see Wikipedia's disambiguation guideline which indicates how to handle separate subjects with similar names. If you continue to hijack an existing article, you may be blocked from editing. If you have any questions, you are always welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you.

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Frost 16:38, 8 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

It is quite possible that there is no WP:PTOPIC, however cut and paste moves are not allowed as they complicate the maintanence of attribution which is necessary under the license; please follow the procedure at WP:RM#CM; if the page is moved the leftover redirect can then be converted to a DAB, thanks. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:C5DD:50C5:89E8:C566 (talk) 19:56, 8 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
