Copying within Wikipedia
[edit]You did not identify the source of the material in your edit. It appears to be House of Night. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but it must be attributed.
This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.
While best practices are that attribution should be added to the edit summary at the time the edit is made, the linked article on best practices describes the appropriate steps to add attribution after the fact. I have done so for you this time, but hope you will follow best practices yourself next time.
I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that need to be crossed.S Philbrick(Talk) 01:09, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Edits on Frostbite (Mead novel)
[edit]Hello, I've reverted your edits on the page Frostbite (Mead novel). This is an encyclopedia. The plot section is supposed to be simple and easy to understand. This means staying way from phrases such as mystical contrivance or embarking on a journey to rendezvous with. Please avoid adding unnecessary wording that makes the plot section more complicated than it needs to be. Thank you -- Cosmic6811 🍁 (T · C) 23:47, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

[edit]
When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to Bitten (novel), please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube or Sci-Hub, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:
- If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
- If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
- If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;
If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. Drmies (talk) 01:08, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
