Copyright licensing and copying within Wikipedia

Please have a look at Talk:No. 657 Squadron AAC and review Copying Within Wikipedia. When you created the article, you did not attribute the content as coming from another article, and you copied over another WP:COPYVIO made by another editor at the original article. When Copying within Wikipedia, you must attribute in edit summary. I've now made a dummy edit to provide that attribution, and added a template to the talk page.

Arnold Charles Walker

Arnold Charles Walker was unambiguously a Warlpiri man, so the direct can be in Category:Warlpiri people, even if the link target also is. See WP:RCAT#Alternative names for articles. Likewise most of the other categories you removed here. Mitch Ames (talk) 01:30, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mitch Ames: Hi, I moved the categories from the redirect as he is known for cultural reasons as Kumanjayi Walker. I didn't move all of them across to the article as I thought some were not appropriate. Thank you for providing WP:RCAT for alternative names. Regards, Melbguy05 (talk) 09:22, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In some cases the redirect (Arnold Charles Walker) should be categorised, but not the link target - eg Arnold Charles Walker should be in "Warlpiri people" (Walker was a Warlpiri man), but "Death of Kumanjayi Walker" should not (his death is not a a Warlpiri person). Mitch Ames (talk) 09:37, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mitch Ames: Should it be Arnold Charles Walker or Kumanjayi Walker in Category:Warlpiri people? Melbguy05 (talk) 12:30, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Both, per Wikipedia:Categorizing redirects#Alternative names for articles. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:20, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet investigations/0HH0LYN1GHT

Hi Melbguy05, I am glad you recognized the sock and filed an investigation. Their known socks are now blocked but as we both know will likely return. Socks waste so much of our time. S0091 (talk) 19:50, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Re: ‘burden of proof’ diff

Not going to contest it, just want to flag that it’s an arguably incorrect statement of the law, in my opinion. But thank you for your contributions; especially your wonderful contributions to enhancing Australian content on this site. I’ll leave it be Jack4576 (talk) 17:43, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jack4576: Can you please elaborate further on "incorrect statement of the law"? Melbguy05 (talk) 17:48, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Procrastinator: I see you added a separate infobox to Islamabad Police for Service colour and Uniform Service colour. There are infobox examples here:Infobox Embedding. Melbguy05 (talk) 22:13, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
