It isn't clear why you are removing inter-wiki language links such as in this edit. Perhaps you can explain? --David Biddulph (talk) 12:01, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

• Each case is different. In this case Ukrainian article is about word Quebecois and is not disambig. It better fits to English page Québécois (word). --Shmurak (talk) 12:05, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Maccaferri gabion, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

This iwiki was about different item. But I added them via {{interwiki extra}} --Shmurak (talk) 06:05, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Please explain this deletion: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dyfi_Furnace&diff=854848909&oldid=850902129 You've been told over and over about this: please do not delete interwiki links "because they're now on wikidata" unless they really are on wikidata. Particularly when, like this, it's the only one of them and so it's unlikely that wikidata would recover it in the future (without considerable luck). Andy Dingley (talk) 07:05, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Likewise this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beam_(structure)&curid=630099&diff=854852088&oldid=831534701 Are you now making judgement calls that because the remote article is too stubby, then it doesn't deserve a link? No, whatever the quality of that article, this is clearly the node within the Urdu Wikipedia where that article ought to link, thus the link should be preserved. Andy Dingley (talk) 07:08, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Edit summaries, please

Please explain your contributions using a descriptive edit summary. Changing information on Wikipedia (such as numbers and dates) without explanation, as you did at Maccaferri gabion, may be confused with vandalism. Thank you. Eric ^talk 16:40, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Among the others see [1] Mathiasrex (talk) 17:10, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

• Mathiasrex, not a reliable source, frankly speaking, especially because it contradict all sources which I know. But I would like to investigate more. Do you have some other sources (they may be in Polish, I can read Polish) --Shmurak (talk) 17:14, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Lech, Czech, and Rus into Gniezno. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. 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) 20:49, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
