Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Next Top Model (Greece) into another page. 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. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication.

I Never Learn

Do you have a source stating that "Gunshot" was released on 16 June? I haven't found it on any major digital music stores (iTunes, Amazon, 7digital), and the only radio date I could find was on BBC Radio 6 Music on 5 July. SN▲P • SN▲P 16:13, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Does this count? [ http://lescharts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Lykke+Li&titel=Gunshot&cat=s ] (Shawnqual (talk) 14:25, 31 July 2014 (UTC))

That date refers to a promotional release, so it doesn't count. Regarding Lily Allen discography, Nicki Minaj's videography has its own page, so adding albums to the table might be justifiable. However, when music videos are listed at an artist's main discography page, adding albums to the videography table is pointless and not pertinent—this information is already covered in the singles section.

Hi, Shawnqual. I noticed that you uploaded a new version for Charli XCX's Boom Clap's single artwork. However, I have reverted your upload as there is no explanation and the picture should be copied from Josep Vianixa, which is an unreliable site.

James Blunt

I guess the edit is down to interpretation of what is or isn't a new record. if an authour writes a book, which is published, then later uodates it with corrections or additions then it is sold as a new book. In the same way Blunts Moon Landing Apollo edition is a new Pressing and sold entirely separate to the original record; and as such gets different sales ratings. It is therefore effectively an additional record to list in his discography. Pease self revert your edit otherwise someone else will . NB: Please note that I am not the only reviewer to revert removal of the title - otherwise someone else will. Richard Harvey (talk) 09:07, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Well in that case it would be a reissue and is listed under 'Reissue' section of the artist's discography page and not under the 'Discography' section of the main article. And artists also sometime release an expanded edition of the studio album under a different title, for which the same rule is followed. Shawnqual (talk) 17:22, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

But that's alright! :) Also, I had added 4 articles to be improved on the list, I don't see them now, any reason why they were removed? Are we only sticking to improve articles which are new (recently created)? •Shawnqual• 📚 • 💭 20:38, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Shawnqual, Well, historically these pages have documented created and improved articles. If you have identified articles needing improvement, you're welcome to create a separate "pages to consider improving" or "suggested articles" section. But we should not mix new/improved pages with suggested articles. Does this help? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:41, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Possible sockpuppetry

Hi. You might not be aware that there is an SPI involving Joplin201017. Evidence such as this and this can show that disruptive editing by Javito1993 can be traced to one location. Other editors were already able to identify some issues with Javito1993 and Joplin201017, but one of them was blocked for one month because he had other behavioral issues of his own. I do not know why this is still going on. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 14:20, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello @LSGH:, I did not know that there was an SPI involving that user. However, I do think something is off with this particular editor, can't put my finger on what exactly.•Shawnqual• 📚 • 💭 11:35, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

The SPI might not go anywhere because the person who opened it is known to provide insufficient evidence when reporting other disruptive users. However, I think that Joplin201017 can still be blocked because of CIR issues. He has already been given several warnings, but he still continues to do the same disruptive actions. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 15:59, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Indeed, the person who opened that SPI was blocked again. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 05:03, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Have you seen this faulty explanation? I do not know why the user keeps on adding statistics to so many pages. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 03:23, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

@LSGH:, This is the same explanation the user gave to me on their talk page when I noticed they had added data to a number of pages I patrol. See here. I also raised other issues regarding their edits to the Statistics section. They seem to comply with my suggestions and also seem to be editing in good faith. Like I said before, something is quite off with this editor, it seems rather impossible that someone would be spending so much time on manually entering data into excel → performing subtraction functions → manually entering the resulting data into charts they create. I pressed the editor on explaining how they ended up with daily data for a country whose chart had not been updated since last year (Oman), the explanation they gave was here. That sounds plausible but again, too much work to do by sifting through image after image. I also don't think either of us have the time to check if the data is indeed correct or manufactured. I did issue them with a disruptive warning editing and I suggest you do the same. This is an odd situation and I am not really sure what to do here.•Shawnqual• 📚 • 💭 14:17, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I am also busy dealing with other on-wiki and off-wiki stuff, so I could not check even some of those large amounts of data. Doing manual updates to this template has already become too burdensome. The content of those Excel files cannot be copied directly into a text-based edit window, isn't it? Some of those calculations should be resulting in errors because several countries are likely to announce some corrections in their daily figures. As a result, the daily changes might not always add up correctly. Let's wait and see if this kind of behavior continues. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 15:33, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

@LSGH:, it has already gone on long enough if what they are doing (additions of potentially incorrect data) is wrong to begin with. I went through their contributions history and the data has been added to articles of lots of countries already. According to them, the content of excel can be easily copied - check their response to my question on MrE's talk page - the section you started. I am not well-versed with excel but their reply seems legit. Regarding errors, if the primary data from the timeline charts or other sources like OurWorldinData or JHU is corect, then it should be alright. Maybe the user is just more competent in this area than us, but not competent in how wikipedia works - initially that was at least. The WikiProject COVID-19 is also way less active these days than it was this time around last year or when the pandemic articles were first being created. We need other opinions on if what they are doing is indeed possible and easily done. •Shawnqual• 📚 • 💭 17:14, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Interest in the topic area is already decreasing, so I do not know why there is still a sense of urgency to add all of those data. The replies of that user at various places seem to show that there is no acknowledgement of any kind of wrongdoing, even if there is plenty of evidence that disruptive behavior is still going on. We have to be more careful if a report will be filed because it might backfire, just like what happened to Flix11. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 01:59, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Flix11 is now blocked indefinitely, but he was able to point to this editor interaction analysis. Maybe that should help. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 04:00, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Joplin201017 is now blocked indefinitely, but there is a sock farm that is doing the same disruptive behavior. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 00:15, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Quebec into another page. 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. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 12:14, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
