Disambiguation link notification for September 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jingoism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Socialist League (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the content guideline, the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide or the edit notice on any DOY page. Please do not add new additions to these pages without direct sources as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 20:25, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I know of this rule and I did provide direct sources.

The Jefferson Key moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, The Jefferson Key, does not have enough sources and citations 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 War of Canudos into another page. 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. Forced prostitution If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:58, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Third Age (disambiguation)

Please note that disambiguation pages like Third Age (disambiguation) are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory
Do not add articles to acronym or initials disambiguation pages unless the person or entity is widely known by that name (in which case it should be stated in the linked article).

I removed your addition to Third Age because the term is not mentioned in Three Eras, Judeo-Christian, or historiography. If you would like to add it to one of those articles it could then be added back to the DAB page.

Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 13:50, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (2nd request)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from John C. Calhoun into List of slaves.

Draft:The Jefferson Key concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:The Jefferson Key, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:29, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

providing sources

Hi, editors of articles even remotely related to the Arab-Israeli conflict are fanatical about requiring in-line citations for every statement. If you add text without them, like you did at San Remo conference and Covenant of the League of Nations just now, it is very likely that someone will remove it soon. I'm not criticising your insertions (which I have not examined carefully) but just letting you know how to give them a chance of surviving. Cheers. Zero^talk 21:56, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Username

Hi. Your username did make me chuckle when I saw it appear one my watchlist. Reminded me of Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond, KCB, OBE, ACDC, BBC, ITV! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:19, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is the name of an actual person who lived in the early 20th Century. My great-grandfather had some slight contact with him. (My great-grandfather was a penniless refugee from Russia living in the East End of London. The actual Captain Sir Mansfield wanted to recruit him as a British secret agent and send him back to Russia. My great-grandfather considered it but in the end rejected the offer, preferring the mundane livelihood of a minor shopkeeper.Captain Sir Mansfield George Smith-Cumming, KCMG, CB (talk) 17:33, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:The Jefferson Key

Hello, Captain Sir Mansfield George Smith-Cumming, KCMG, CB. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "The Jefferson Key".

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.

June 2020

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to The Horse and His Boy, 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. DonIago (talk) 16:16, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Curb Safe Charmer. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Catholic People's Party (Austria-Hungary), 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 the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 17:13, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have now restored the edits which I made to the Catholic People's Party (Austria-Hungary) page but added seven sources appearing in the Hungarian Wikipedia page [1] (from where I took all this information).
