Disambiguation link notification for April 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited King, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Texcoco. 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.)

April 2021

Hello GhostlyOperative! Your additions to Samurai have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page.

ArbCom 2021 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2021 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 6 December 2021. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2021 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:53, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ANI notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.Agrso (talk) 00:18, 4 May 2022 (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/GhostlyOperative, 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.

Personal attacks and accusations

Hello, kindly refrain from making personal attacks, threats, and accusations in my talk page and in the edit summaries. The talk page consensus in Generation Z was reached unanimously by the users who regularly edit the page and this is evidenced by their actions: [1] and [2]. Changes were agreed upon after years of edit warring between various users. A source should only be added if it provides significant and any changes to the date range section should only be made if there is a consensus on the talk page. By the way, a user previously reported me three times in the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard: First time, Second time, and Third time. In fact none of the Wikipedia administrators found my conduct troublesome and User:Zillennial is the one who got blocked twice as displayed in his account block log first in 2020 and then again in 2021. This user was blocked for disruptive editing, edit warring, ownership, and personal attacks in Generation Z specifically in relation to the date range in the lead paragraph and section. Kindly note that if you have legitimate concerns regarding my editing behaviour and evidence to substantiate your claims then surely the Wikipedia administrators in the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard can help you. I am also certain that Wikipedia administrators are able to help you with any concerns regarding Generation Z and its established talk page consensus. Thank you. Best regards.

Editing while logged out

Hi - I'm Girth Summit, an administrator and checkuser here. I've noticed that you seem to have a habit of editing pages while logged out - indeed, sometimes you edit a page under your account, and then immediately continue editing it while logged out. You are not obliged to log into your account to edit, but WP:LOUTSOCK outlines situations where it is problematic. Editing pages as an IP that you also regularly edit under your account is an issue, and editing the talk pages of users you are in dispute with while you are logged out is absolutely not on - that needs to stop, immediately. Please confirm that you have understood this. Thanks Girth Summit _(blether) 16:26, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. ~BappleBusiness^[talk] 03:52, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Liz. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction, such as your addition to User talk:Wikiboo02. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:32, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, GhostlyOperative,

Please stop harrassing this editor on their user talk page. There is no need to badger them with messages. If you have a comment about a specific article, please use the article talk page. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:33, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively. It has been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent abuse.

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 why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.

Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.

I warned you in May about the issue of editing articles while logged out which you also edit through your account; I see you have continued doing that, and you have created another account to edit these same articles, without disclosing the connection anywhere. Since you did not respond to my previous message in any way, I see no alternative to an indefinite block. Girth Summit _(blether) 12:44, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
