Sogdian-language Manichaean letter

Hi — I came across this article, and noticed the large number of redlinks in the See also section and in the cats. Normally those aren't very useful, so I was going to delete them, but then it occurred to me that perhaps you're intending to fill them all, since you seem to be active in this subject area. Can you confirm either that this is your intention, or that you're happy for me to delete them? Thanks, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:32, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Yes I intend on filling them in the red linksSiliconProphet (talk) 07:36, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

@DoubleGrazing: The rules on red-linked categories are different to red-linked articles. Per WP:REDNOT, you should never add a link to a category that does not exist. And just generally,you should have a read of Wikipedia:Categorization and have a look around the relevant part of the category hierarchy to understand how categories work - in particular you should never add categories in a language that is not English, and in general you should not capitalise every word. Le Deluge (talk) 13:39, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Le Deluge: thanks, but you're barking up the wrong tree — I didn't add those redlinks (cats or see alsos). Quite the opposite, I was going to delete them, precisely for the reasons you mention. Or if your point is that I should have said "must not use red cats" rather than "aren't very useful", then there you do have a point; I was trying to soften the message, probably unnecessarily. Thanks, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:47, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Links to draft articles

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Sogdian-language Manichaean letter. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 11:29, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Kephalaia

Hello SiliconProphet,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Kephalaia for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Fragmented pages of Manichaen manuscripts moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Fragmented pages of Manichaen manuscripts, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Shabuhragan into Seven Scriptures of Mani. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 10:07, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Cangan Stele

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 Cangan Stele 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 http://www.sohu.com/a/165729040_361562. 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. BEACHIDICAE🌊 14:00, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

June 2021

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:41, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello, SiliconProphet,

It looks like in many of the articles you have published over the past few days, there are uncited claims that appear to be your own interpretation and description of art. Please know that this kind of material is more suitable for a blog or website while Wikipedia relies on reliable secondary sources to support claims, not our editor's points of view or interpretation. Unsourced material will often be removed.

If you have questions about Wikipedia policies, I recommend visiting the Teahouse where you can find clarification from experienced editors. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:44, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

There may be additional copyright concerns raised in the future but this revision shows a clear attempt to summarize facts from sources. Thank you. You may also want to read about close paraphrasing if you're unfamiliar as there are possibly some remaining concerns in that regard. --N8 06:33, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Ways to improve Shad Ohrmazd

Hello, SiliconProphet,

Thank you for creating Shad Ohrmazd.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

This article says almost nothing about the topic. It is really about a religious schism, not a person. To support a biographical article we need multiple references with in depth coverage of the subject.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Mccapra}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Mccapra (talk) 07:34, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello SiliconProphet, I've had a cursory look at the Schlüsselfelder von Kirchensittenbach article. I've noticed that the article does not use inline citations to provide references for its content.
