Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Edit request procedure

Hi. I see you've made many edit requests without following a standard procedure. Please read Wikipedia:Edit requests to see how to get the best results and to assist other editors dealing with your requests. Long story short: by following the standard procedure (application of a suitable template with the request), the request will be listed at WP:Dashboard § Requested edits, which concerned editors monitor to discover the requests. A new section added to the talk page without a suitable edit request template (as you've been doing) may only be noticed by chance if at all.

Thank you for the procedure clarification, I will keep that in mind moving forward! EnergyAnalyst2 (talk) 10:24, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick (Talk) 13:34, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sphilbrick: Hello and thank you for your message! The information on the IEA website is under a CC BY 4.0 license covering almost all reports, the Russia's War on Ukraine page, and all graphics on its website. This information can be found in their terms page at the following link: https://www.iea.org/terms. Should this be added to the citations themselves more clearly? If so I am more than happy to go in and do so. EnergyAnalyst2 (talk) 13:54, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everyone. Quick comment from a friendly talk page watcher: The ping tool in Wikipedia is finicky; it only works when you submit a comment that contains both a mention of someone and four tildes. If you add a mention to an existing comment it doesn't work. I'm re-pinging @Sphilbrick as he probably did not get pinged in your last comment. Sphilbrick, could you please answer EnergyAnalyst2's question? Cheers, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 05:35, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to EnergyAnalyst2 For bringing this to my attention; thanks to Clayoquot For correctly noting that the original ping did not come to my attention. You are correct that the material appears to be license correctly. Frustratingly, if you look at the source page and go to the bottom of the page it has the ©. There are some sites use this format where the overall pages fully copyrighted but the embed material with different licenses. That makes it very tricky to determine whether the copied material is licensed properly. If my reversion had been the most recent edit I would simply undo it, but I see that substantial edits have been made subsequently so I cannot simply undo my action.

Please feel free to re-add ihe material. Such an edit is likely to trigger the copy patrol tool. To help make sure this doesn't happen again, it would be helpful if you could include something in your edit summary such as "adding material from a CC BY 4.0 source". While I can't speak for all the volunteers who review those reports, fairly certain it is considered a best practice to look at the edit summary associated with the reported edit, and that will help ensure that it will be accepted not reverted.

Welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for your contributions S Philbrick (Talk) 13:42, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Sphilbrick. @EnergyAnalyst2, expectations have gotten more rigorous in recent years, so these days it's best to use an attribution template within the article in addition to mentioning the CC licensing in the edit summary. Complete instructions are at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Adding_open_license_text_to_Wikipedia . Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 02:56, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sphilbrick and @Clayoquot thank you for your feedback, it's been very helpful and I will keep it in mind moving forward. I really appreciate the feedback as there are still aspects of the platform I'm not familiar with, so thanks for taking the time to patiently respond.
