Deleting others' posts
[edit]Per WP:TPO, don't delete the posts of other people without permission. The comments from Robertsky especially are not ok to delete. seefooddiet (talk) 04:08, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- I'll put it back. I had no idea that wasn't allowed. It was just him explaining to me GebreAraara (talk) 10:02, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Which post? – robertsky (talk) 10:06, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- The one where you were explaining the wiki commons and copyright guidelines to me.
- I added it back to my talk page, so no worries. GebreAraara (talk) 10:08, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Nah. It is fine to remove it. It is your own talk page, you can do whatever you want, including blanking, except for modifying others' words. Although, archiving would be much preferred instead. @Seefooddiet just fyi, ya? The guidelines for the talk pages can be confusing at first. – robertsky (talk) 10:12, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Oh I didn't know that, thanks. My mistake GebreAraara seefooddiet (talk) 10:14, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- No problem Seeefooddiet , feel free to explain anything any time as the more experienced editor. I am here to learn after all. GebreAraara (talk) 10:22, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Welcome!
[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Johnny Somali, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
If you still have questions, there is the Teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.
1. The news article isn't copyright-free. 2. The screen capture is from a video that is likely not copyright-free as well. Just because others use the screenshot, it does not mean it can be freely used. – robertsky (talk) 12:29, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi it was what the caption from the article reported it to be.
- Thank you for updating me , i will look through the guidelines to gain a deeper understanding and remove if it violates it. GebreAraara (talk) 12:39, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- The caption just says "screen capture" as the source. How's that saying it is copyright free? – robertsky (talk) 14:07, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
Accusing others of vandalism
[edit]Please be mindful of accusing others of vandalism, as you did here [1], per WP:TEND#Wrongly accusing others of vandalism. The edit seems to me to mostly have been copyediting (these edits still have grammar and spelling issues), and you had yet to address the issues with undue weight. Speaking of which, if you have no plans to further address the issues with undue weight I'll go to WP:RFC. seefooddiet (talk) 20:12, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
