Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. – Gilliam (talk) 15:48, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Rich Smith. I noticed that in this edit to Bud Wildman, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 12:44, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

January 2019

Hello, I'm HickoryOughtShirt?4. Your recent edit to the page 2015 NHL Entry Draft appears to have added incorrect information, so it has been removed for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:54, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

May 2019

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to 2019 Spanish general election, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Impru20^talk 17:18, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 2019 Spanish general election. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Impru20^talk 17:38, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article space is not the place for adding random contents; bringing it to the next level by insulting other users while re-adding such rightly removed content is outright vandalism. Abide to Wikipedia rules and guidelines or you will get a report. Impru20^talk 17:53, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I take issue with your assertion that I in any way used an insult toward a fellow editor. Would you kindly point me to the offending statement?

"rogue bot". Impru20^talk 18:07, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for that. Your initial edits appeared to be automatic and in bad faith. I had assumed that your account was a bot account which was not functioning as intended.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at 2019 Spanish general election, you may be blocked from editing. Impru20^talk 18:11, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. Impru20^talk 18:20, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello 204.40.194.134, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Loomis v. Wisconsin 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. (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 the 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 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 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.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also 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) 20:36, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

November 2019

Hello, I'm Aranya. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Joan Fontaine seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Aranya (talk) 18:46, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Philipnelson99. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Barry Stagg—because it did not appear constructive.

September 2022

Hello, I'm Sam Sailor. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Bald and Bankrupt, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Sam Sailor 16:13, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
