Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Kahidan! Your additions to Keeping Up with Lizzie 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. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
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. Please 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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 13:52, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Taxobox parameters

Hi, {{Speciesbox}} should, as a minimum, have |taxon= to specify the target taxon. If this is the same as the page title, then |name= isn't needed, and the page title will automatically be italicized. See Telamona scalaris after my edit as an example. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:25, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got it.

I'll try to do that in some other pages. Kahidan (talk) 09:30, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Kahidan. Thank you for your work on Telamona scalaris. Hughesdarren, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

I think the current name of this species is Heliria scalaris, the old name Telamona scalaris is inactive on the GBIF and iNaturalist databases

Sources

Hi, Kahidan. Thank you for your work creating the species articles under Trachytalis, Archasia, and Telamona. However, I've noticed that none of the articles you created were initially created with citations to reliable sources. Verifiability is a policy of Wikipedia, and all articles should be sourced.

It's generally frowned upon to mass create articles without sourcing. According to WP:MASSCREATE, the relevant guideline, "Per a 2022 RfC, all mass-created articles (except those not required to meet WP:GNG) must cite at least one source which would plausibly contribute to GNG, that is, which constitutes significant coverage in an independent reliable secondary source." In the future, if you wish to create a large number of articles in this fashion, please include at least one source in each, otherwise use draftspace to prepare your articles without imposing the burden of sourcing a large set of new articles on other editors. ~ A412 ^talk! 02:25, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Kahidan. Thank you for your work on Telamona vestita. Hughesdarren, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Hello, Articles for anything do require one or more references. Could you pleas to be sure to add a reference in future. For insects I would suggest bugguide or the encyclopedia of life. I'm adding e reference to this article for you so you can look at the code and use it as a guide for future articles. Regards.

Telamona praealta moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Telamona praealta. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:38, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Complete

Please ensure your taxonomy articles are complete. I've been going around fixing up a bunch of little things like putting the first use of the article title in bold, ensuring genera and species are in italics, adding a few basic categories, and adding a References section. I do a few more things beyond that, but those are the things I think you should be doing before moving on to the next article. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:29, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Qiyangiricaniidae is a perfect example of where you could have put just a small amount of effort into completing the draft instead of moving on to the next one. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:23, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Heteronotus is another where you missed the mark on getting the minimum edits done. Please take a little more time to complete your work. Wikipedia has no deadline. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:44, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And you've made another edit to Heteronotus that is not in keeping with our standards. I'm going to issue a templated warning below... - UtherSRG (talk) 14:09, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

disambiguation titles and consistency across Wikipedia taxonomic articles

Hi, Kahidan. I haven't had a chance until today to get caught up on things, but I see that within the last few weeks you've undertaken a lot of article creation, especially in the Auchenorrhyncha, a group I do research on. On the whole, these new articles are positive contributions, and mostly well-done, though there are a few things about the technical side of the articles that you are doing in a manner inconsistent with other taxonomic articles in Wikipedia. I see that UtherSRG has already left you one note, and I can add another: when creating an article for a genus, if it needs to be disambiguated, then it is a general practice to use disambiguation titles that convey a relatively precise idea about what group of organisms one is referring to. The use of "XXXX (genus)" is very strongly discouraged, because it could be any organism in any kingdom. The use of "XXXX (insect)" is likewise discouraged, because this does not offer much precision, given that there are several hundred thousand insect genera. In particular, if you look at the existing articles that are disambiguations for Auchenorrhyncha, you will see that they use very precise titles, such as Aphrodisias (planthopper). Bhandara (leafhopper), Cacama (cicada), etc. - as such, for the new treehopper articles, I have used "XXXX (treehopper)" as a consistent disambiguation for these articles, in parallel with the other groups of Auchenorrhyncha, and I hope you will follow this example in the future. Peace, Dyanega (talk) 18:21, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for information. I'll try to apply this to later articles Kahidan (talk) 01:22, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

February 2024

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Heteronotus. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. UtherSRG (talk) 14:10, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Unblock

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Kahidan (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

User:Imkaidenlol has been inactive since June 2023 and User:Aglofwa since May 2023. Me and User:Hloass are 2 different individuals who both just have dead accounts.

Decline reason:

Confirmed to Kolamms and to Hloass. This is definitely not simply a case of two individuals who happen to have dead accounts. Yamla (talk) 11:50, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Even though it seems to be the end, here's the full story: My first account (Imkaidenlol) is an old account I made a year ago, i showed my friend (Hloass) and he created an account to join (Aglofwa), he used the school computer for this I think. After the school year ended, we became inactive as me and my friend went on vacation. When school came back, I remembered about Wikipedia and created a new account. Around January, We reminded my friend about editing Wikipedia and he created a new account. He created his new account in the new school computer, which I think was the same computer where the user Kolamms was created. My friend got his editing style from me as I taught him how to edit wikipedia and shared my interests with him. We never intended to make sockpuppets nor abuse our other accounts, I hope this explains everything. Thank you. --Kahidan (talk) 12:50, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
