Welcome!

Hello, Jehoiakimin, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to The Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Disambiguation link notification for November 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of minor Hebrew Bible figures, L–Z, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ephraimite. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:06, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing that out, but in some translations of Samuel 1:1 he is listed as an Ephrathite instead of an Ephraimite, and the purpose of the link was to show that he was actually the father of Eliab. Jehoiakimin (talk) 06:41, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It was actually *Tohu not Eliab sorry Jehoiakimin (talk) 06:42, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

December 2022

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Azor (biblical figure). Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. Arjayay (talk) 13:54, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As the draft is just a redirect, why not link to the actual article in the first place? - Arjayay (talk) 13:56, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Jehoiakim, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 10:52, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Shem, you may be blocked from editing. I can't see that you have learned anything from previous warnings given to you. Rsk6400 (talk) 07:52, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed a recent edit you made does not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! tgeorgescu (talk) 03:49, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! tgeorgescu (talk) 04:22, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oops sorry I keep forgetting to do that 😅. Jehoiakimin (talk) 08:37, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Azariah into List of minor Hebrew Bible figures, A–K. 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. — Diannaa (talk) 13:59, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
