Copying within Wikipedia

Hi Deji Olajide1999! Thank you for your edits to Arvanites. It looks like you've copied or moved text from Pelasgians into that page, and while you are welcome to do so, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied 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. If you've copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 03:43, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ares

You're most charitable, but those were not typos. I genuinely have problems spelling some words. :) Haploidavey (talk) 12:32, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's okay. I follow the Ares page and if I see any spelling mistakes, I try to correct them :') Deji Olajide1999 (talk) 12:41, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Pronunciation of Ancient Greek in teaching, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Greek pronunciation. 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.)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (2nd request)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Argead dynasty into Heracleidae. 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. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 13:24, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, I tried to make some tweaks to avoid copying it entirely this time. Sorry, I'll make sure to point it out next time. Deji Olajide1999 (talk) 13:27, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Best practice is to provide the attribution unless the entire edit is new material that you've written from scratch. DanCherek (talk) 13:54, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wildfires Greece 2021

User Chidgk1 removed arson as cause despite arrests and convictions. I undid this naturally. He also stuffed an old 2007 report at the top of causes... relating to climate change. I put it at the bottom as this is not a primary cause of the fires. I suspect he wont be happy, just a head's up. We must defend the integrity of the page.

On another note, I added more arson links including a 14 years old who admitted starting the massive fires in central Greece after the arson team tracked him down through video footage. Reaper7 (talk) 23:27, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I must admit, I've been slacking off a bit with this article and I didn't see these edits. Thanks for the heads up though, I'll start paying attention to it more carefully from now on. Deji Olajide1999 (talk) 00:05, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Basil I

I haven't edited Wikipedia for many years, so I don't remember how to write to you, we used to write to each other like this, here's what I'm doing, I saw that you rejected my edits about Basil I. What was the reason? I have put reliable sources, and none of them said that there are any doubts about his origin, Basil was an Armenian, I will put the links again, thank youTatul (talk) 06:14, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In not one case can we say that Basil was an "Armenian" in any meaningful sense. As far as we know, he was a Roman of (possible/partial) Armenian ancestry. The thing is, his Armenian ancestry is already covered under the "from peasant to emperor" section. Most of the things that you added were already there and I also kept in the fact that he could speak Armenian because it was possibly the only thing that wasn't mentioned before. Nevertheless, Basil cannot be associated with the Kingdom of Armenia/today's Republic of Armenia in order to have his Armenian name/his Armenian origins in the lead. Deji Olajide1999 (talk) 12:07, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

this is not "as far as we know", he was a Byzantine emperor of Armenian origin, there are books, studies, publications. Its origin cannot be disputed, the full list of sources that I will publish here, scientists and historians do not say "perhaps" in any of them, I do not even know who came up with the possibilities of its origin. For Armenian name in the title, yes, you are right, I agree. As for the origin, the article should not try to show the suspects in this origin, it should clarify, as far as possible, how it was written by scientists and historians.

1. John H. Rosser. Historical Dictionary of Byzantium. — 2-nd ed. — Scarecrow Press, 2011. — p.52 "Beginning in the sixth century, Armenians emigrated to Byzantium in great numbers, becoming the most assimilated of any ethnic group, while, at the same time, maintaining their distinct literature, religion, and art. Thousands of Armenian soldiers served in imperial forces, and a number of important military leaders and civil administrators were Armenian, including emperors Leo V, Basil I, Romanos I Lekapenos, and John I Tzimiskes."

2. Richard Barrie Dobson. Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages p884 "was Armenian"

3. John Julius Norwich The History of Byzantium. - p. 214. "Basil I's native language was Armenian, while he spoke Greek with a strong accent"

4. The Armenians in the Byzantine Empire by Peter Charanis "Thus, the dynasty which Basil I founded was Armenian by descent. "

5. Oxford Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages Edited by André Vauchez The Macedonian dynasty (867-1056) marked the apogee of the medieval Byzantine Empire. Its founder, Basil, a peasant born in Macedonia but of Armenian descent, claimed to be related to the"

6. Basil I, the Armenian (Emperor of Byzantium 867-886) by Nicholas Adontz

Tatul (talk) 13:56, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I also kept in the fact that he could speak Armenian because it was possibly the only thing that wasn't mentioned before

my publication said that he could speak Armenian and spoke Greek with a strong accent. So basically the part that didn't want to show was erased, it contradicts to the Wikipedia:Core content policies Tatul (talk) 14:05, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The link which you provided violates WP:ELNO 4, so it would've been removed whatsoever. Also, the source itself is WP:AD, since it definitely doesn't pass WP:TERTIARYUSE. Deji Olajide1999 (talk) 14:15, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And his origins are still unknown. Some people say he's Armenian, or his father was Armenian, some others he was a Slav, others say he was Armeno-Slav, while others say his mother was Greek. The article already covers it well. Deji Olajide1999 (talk) 14:19, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are no “some people”, I posted here 10 more than reliable sources which clearly shows his Armenian origin. And as far as I understand, the problem is something else, since you do not want to take universities and scholars seriously, I will add all 10 sources to the article.

Adding Greek ethnicity to the lead of numerous Byzantine articles

I’ve noticed numerous instances of you doing this in recent days. There are a number of problems with this - but the main one is MOS:ETHNICITY - ethnicity is not something that should normally be covered in the lead. “Byzantine” is sufficient and most appropriate. DeCausa (talk) 20:12, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, should I re-add them in other sections? Deji Olajide1999 (talk) 20:14, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have noticed that too, maybe in the lead we can use the Byzantine Greeks link where it covers the Byzantines of Greek/Rhomaioi (Not Varangian, Slavic or Armenian or other) origin for individuals that sources describe them as such and "Byzantine" to the ones not. Othon I (talk) 20:22, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I usually use separate links since the link Byzantine Greeks doesn't describe ethnicity and can be interpreted in several other ways. Deji Olajide1999 (talk) 20:27, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Theere is bo need to have “Greek” in the lead at all -Byzantine is sufficient. It may be ok in the body of the article but only if the sourcing is very clear. But I’m not sure what is really being achieved - ethnicity in the Byzantine period is a very fluid thing -especially where Greek culture was such a gravitational force regardless of origins. What’s the ethnicity of the Macedonian dynasty? It’s more of interest/information where the ethnicity may be non-Greek i.e. exceptional. DeCausa (talk) 20:31, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a consensus about the ethnicity of an individual or a family it should be included at least in the body. There is no doubt that for most of the years that the ERE existed its population was Hellenised but, it does not mean that everyones was a Greek/Rhomaioi. There are other ethnicities hence the reason to point it out. Othon I (talk) 20:42, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Othon. Even though it was hellenized, the ERE was a multi-ethnic empire. Deji Olajide1999 (talk) 20:55, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

But that’s my point - I think the opposite is true. Greek culture was the dominant one in the Byzantine Empire. In the context of a biography only a non-Greek ethnicity (if clearly sourced) is worth highlighting. I don’t see the point of adding “Greek” to the bio of, for example, Alexios I Komnenos on top of saying he was Byzantine. However, the non-Greek origins of Leo III the Isaurian are worth noting because they were relatively unusual. DeCausa (talk) 21:04, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I partially agree, but Leo III the Isaurian doesn't belong to a notable aristocratic family. For example, Constantine Maleinos and Eustathios Maleinos were Greek but their origins aren't mentioned at all. However, the Greek ethnicity of the family, as a whole, is mentioned in the Maleinos page. Deji Olajide1999 (talk) 12:12, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok - make sure there’s both good sourcing and reflects academic consensus though. It’s the sort of topic that can become a hot button! By the way, when posting on talk pages we’re expected to indent to help readability. It’s explained here: WP:INDENT. DeCausa (talk) 12:39, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. Thanks for letting me know. Deji Olajide1999 (talk) 14:32, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just noticed you changing the heading of this (and other sections on your talk page). I’ve no problem with you changing this section heading but, just so that you know, strictly you are not supposed to edit others’ posts even on your own talk page - so that would include the heading if they were put there by someone else This is explained at WP:TPO. Of course if someone had posted a heading that breached our civility (or other) policy that would be an exception. As i say, I’m not bothered about this section - just thought you should be aware. DeCausa (talk) 20:03, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I guess that I need to familiarize myself with the talk page rules more. Thanks for warning me. Deji Olajide1999 (talk) 20:14, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Deji Olajide1999: I saw that you've changed some words out for synonyms, but that's not enough -- you must summarize it in your own words (and in this case it would be good to alter the sentence structure from the source, and certainly there are ways to do so) -- see WP:CLOP.

Greater Albania

Hi, be aware that editors are not allowed to make more than one revert per 24 hours on Greater Albania. You just made your second one. I suggest that you revert yourself, or you risk to be blocked for an entirely avoidable reason. The best path to address your concern is to start a talk page discussion. Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 07:24, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That restriction is highlighted on the top of the editing page of the article [1]. Ktrimi991 (talk) 07:27, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet investigation

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Deji Olajide1999, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Ahmet Q. (talk) 23:29, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked as a sockpuppet

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:Mercurius1 per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mercurius1. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Girth Summit _(blether) 16:35, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
