Happy editing! DarmaniLink (talk) 23:07, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. My "publishing every single new comma to see how it looks like" newbie approach must have caught your attention. I should've read the available documentation before starting with the article. I'm using the sandbox now, I believe that's a better way of doing things.

NGC 855 moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to NGC 855. 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. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 20:44, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're definitely right! I was under the impression when I clicked publish it would become a draft first, not an actual article. Thank you for your help! DGSATI (talk) 20:48, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello DGSATI! Your additions to Molecular cloud 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. Please 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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 19:42, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Shoot I think I submitted this draft for publication before I was done writing it. Welp, I'll be working on it anyway. Thank you! DGSATI (talk) 17:48, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The OCL in the List of Astronomical Catalogues

Thanks Galaxyfriend to add the OCL (Open Cluster Catalogue) in the List of astronomical catalogues! P.S.: my own alphabetic list of named objects beyond the solar system is far from complete. I try to work on it when I have time (and free time is something which is almost non-existing these days!) (I am working as a logistics-labourer in a car constructing plant, in shift system, a job which almost "eliminates" the hobby of searching for astronomy-related nomenclature and catalogues). By the way, when I'm searching for named astronomical objects, I try to visit ASTROBIN whenever I can, because today's astrophotographers know the art to name (or to nickname) the deepsky objects they discover and photograph with their telescopes! (it's always great to see images of totally unknown planetary nebulae!). DannyCaes (talk) 15:27, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:DGSAT I

Hello, Galaxyfriend. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:DGSAT I, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months.

Request to create UGC 3478

Hey there Galaxyfriend! I have a new suggestion for you. There's a latest ESA paper released on Monday and the picture of the week is UGC 3478, which is a Seyfert galaxy in Camelopardalis. You might want to create an article about the galaxy on the English Wikipedia, if you want, since it is notable. As for the links, I've place them below for references.

Link to UGC 3478: [1] [2]

Galaxybeing (talk) 14:05, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Galaxybeing.

Thanks for bringing that image to my attention, it just made my day looking at it. I'm searching studies regarding this astronomical object but I'm being hard pressed to find any scientific papers regarding UGC 3478 specifically, except as bulk data for samples in a few studies, like this one on flat-spectrum for Seyfert galaxies, or as part of wide sky-survey data. If I come across studies about UGC 3478 specifically I'll certainly start writing an article for it!

Thank you for reaching out, I really appreciate you taking the time to message me.

Happy star gazing! Galaxyfriend (talk) 14:52, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
