Copy-and-pasting from sources

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the London TravelWatch article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the "Help Desk". You can also leave a message on my talk page. --McGeddon (talk) 15:06, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, it'll be fine once it's been copyedited and improved to the point where it no longer closely resembles the original text. I was just concerned that quite a few of the sentences seemed to have been lifted directly from the document you mention (which I found online here, with the enigmatic word "copyright" at the top), and wanted to make sure that we weren't repeating too much content verbatim. --McGeddon (talk) 15:34, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, NOW I understand. The hard copy note I was working form is clearly the source from which the London Assembly were also working. I can confirm that the note I was using is not copyright and was actually supplied to me by the author who knew of my interest in the area, and knew that I inteneded to use it to improve the wikipedia entry. He is one of the "officers" of TravelWatch mentioned in the London Assembly report (but not by name) as having assisted. I take your point about the need to paraphrase more than I did.

Your submission at Articles for creation

I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Crouch Hill Park. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.

Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.

Here's a video tutorial - hit play, then right-click for "full screen".

Here's an example of how to add references:

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref>

== References ==

That makes the references automatically display as small numbers^[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.

Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat chanel at #wikipedia-en-help ^connect.

Disambiguation link notification for April 4

Hi. When you recently edited Sarah Teather, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page GLA (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Crouch End Hill

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Crouch End Hill, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: "Crouch End Hill. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. MadmanBot (talk) 22:29, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Local Schools Network

Hello Daithidebarra,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Local Schools Network for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. —Swpb^talk 16:18, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Seconded. Incidentally – in your dispute with Wikijan2016, I suggest you forget about the "threatening tone". Bias, removal of reliably sourced information, and edit warring without trying to discuss on the talk page would all appear higher on my list of charges against him.

IP editor 82.7.125.216 / 81.104.12.193 edit warring

I saw your edit at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive947#IP editor 82.7.125.216 / 81.104.12.193 edit warring. I'm afraid few if any will notice an edit in an archive. If you want to reopen it, then start a new discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard, and just reference the old one. Though I don't see any odd activity on either those two pages since February - and no edits by those IPs either - so it's unlikely that anyone would take any action. Wikipedia:Blocking policy says that blocks should be preventative not punitive, and should not be used when "there is no current conduct issue of concern". If the edits resume, the most likely action would be semi-page protection to stop IPs from editing. The best way to do that is to make a request for each page at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. Nfitz (talk) 22:25, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sark Company Registry

Hi, I put the reference to BBC www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-guernsey-40188193 In fact, the issue is of extreme importance for the Sark economy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.153.136.1 (talk) 22:24, 2 August 2017 (UTC) If you disagree, you are welcome to add other facts, but it is impolite to ignore the issue in general. Sark is an offshore financial centre, and the issue of companies is essential to understanding its money-making mechanism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.153.136.1 (talk) 22:33, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for posting to my talk page. As you are an IP editor and so may well not have a stable talk page address, I am replying to you here.

1. I would urge you, if you wish to get into debates on Wikipedia (and, indeed, the more the merrier) to register with a username as that will give you a talk page that can be used reliably. Apart from anything else currently, so far as I know, there is no way that I can be sure that you have been notified of this reply, and you might miss it.

2. With respect, your comments would have been best placed on the talk page of the article where more people would see it. Obviously if the two of us were to continue to disagree about the content of the article it would be important for other editors to be aware of that - we may have to build consensus. Of course it can be a good idea to post a note to the editor in question's talk page (ie in this case, mine) mentioning that a discussion has been started on the articles talk page. This is because when a post is made to my talk page I get an email notification - all the more reason for you to register and get your own talk page, I would have thought. I shall take the liberty of cutting and pasting this discussion to the talk page of the article, so that we can, if need be continue the discussion there.

3. Yes, I see you have reverted my edit in its entirety. I see you have therefore reinstated the use of the Sark Newsletter as a source, when it is clearly unreliable. I am minded to re edit so as to exclude the reference to the Sark Newsletter, and that part of the article that relies on this source. However I shall wait and see if there are comments from other editors.

4. I meant no discourtesy. Having been on wikipedia for a bit I am used to seeing edits, including mine, being, in their turn, edited robustly.

5. I look forward to continuing this discussion on the article talk page. I note your remark about the off shore financial industry of Sark and can see how further referenced information on that could be useful to the article. But, as on every thing else I would not put your trust in the Sark Newsletter......Daithidebarra (talk) 10:00, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
