Your editing at CCI

Could you please slow down with your edits at CCI? You have been editing rapidly there, and have been making some mistakes:

  • here you presumptively removed content not added by the CCI subject. I reverted you, as presumptive removals are only for content that the subject of the CCI adds. If you checked the diff next to the listing, you would've seen they added reviews, not the plot summary. The website you cited at the CCI is a likely mirror. Film plot summaries are among the most copied from things on Wikipedia.
  • You removed the plot summaries of these articles, citing the CCI, but you did not cite the supposed source copied from, and if you check the listed diffs you'll see the editor did not add those plot summaries.

Please slow down your editing at CCI and make sure to read the associated guides. If you have any further questions, please ask me. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 04:43, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

@Moneytrees thanks for telling me. Clearly, I am not in any way ready to be a copyright clerk, and have withdrawn my request. I've tried to identify mirrors, and I've definitely done better than when I first tried (which didn't go well), but as you have let me know, I'm still making mistakes.
I will slow down, check my previous edits there and make sure I'm being a lot more careful. Sorry if I created a bit of a mess, while I am generally confident in copyright, CCI is not an area I'm experienced at, and I should've gone much slower from the start. The fact that I started off fast is a very bad decision, and very bad judgement from me, and that's something I need to work on. Again, thanks for letting me know. echidnaLives - talk - edits 04:54, 6 January 2023 (UTC).

It's alright, it's not that serious of an issue, the area lends itself easily to mistakes. Just make sure to act carefully, especially when removing large portions of articles, and ask questions to those more experienced in the area. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 05:18, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Question from Timurhan61 (07:58, 8 January 2023)

How can I change my User name and link for my Wikipedia Thank you Happy new year --Timurhan61 (talk) 07:58, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Timurhan61, you can rename your account Special:GlobalRenameRequest, and it will be processed by a renamer within around 24 hours.
As for changing your link, could you please elaborate on what you mean?

This isn't really a requested move, it's actually about reverting an undiscussed controversial move from 3rd January. Can you close the request and do it? 10mmsocket (talk) 12:15, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

@10mmsocket Ahh, I understand. I'll do that now. In the future, there's no need to start a requested move discussion, WP:RMTR has a section just for reverting undiscussed moves :). Thanks, echidnaLives - talk - edits 12:22, 12 January 2023 (UTC). Oh, just noticed you didn't start the discussion. Ignore the advice :).
That was quick thanks! 10mmsocket (talk) 12:28, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
