Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ruskin Monument (March 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Hoary was:

Content plagiarizes. The phrasing is curiously (for a Wikipedia draft) redolent of the nineteenth century; sure enough, the first two nuggets that I happened to select -- "rough and unhewn as it came from the quarry" and "careful work of Signor Lucchesi" are well known to Google. Adding them (and, I'm pretty sure, others) without clear attribution probably isn't a copyright violation in view of the age of their first publication; it is, however, plagiarism. And if material first published more recently has been similarly filched, then that would be a copyright violation.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ruskin Monument and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Ruskin Monument, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Sinopecynic! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Ruskin Monument. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:07, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copying/moving content within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Thomas Carlyle 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. — Diannaa (talk) 00:35, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article Thomas Carlyle you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Thomas Carlyle for comments about the article, and Talk:Thomas Carlyle/GA2 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

How many different pages do you oppose the existence of an Infobox

Since in your word it´s "unnecessary" for Thomas Carlyle what other individuals should have their Infoboxes removed. StrongALPHA (talk) 14:34, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I find it hardly necessary for anyone. For Carlyle in particular, I follow the example of pages like Richard Wagner and James Joyce, featured pages of figures whose life's work is so important and wide-ranging that the infobox is redundant. I consider Carlyle to be one of these figures, since almost all of his work is "notable," and his influence is so widespread. Besides, the format of simply portrait and signature is much more clean and pleasing to the eye, and declutters the articule by avoiding repetition. Sinopecynic (talk) 18:56, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We do have readers who never heard of Richard Wagner or Thomas Carlyle, and I like that you are now serving those also. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:31, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt that you looked at Joyce recently ;) - Congratulations to your GA! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:34, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning of life

Next time, when I have approved a hook, please add new ALTs only below. We have now a hook that nobody approved in prep for the Main page, because the promoter didn't check the history, and it certainly looked approved. It's a good hook, and I hope it is sourced, so I'll let it go for this time. But next time ... ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:54, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Thomas Carlyle

On 10 August 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Thomas Carlyle, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Thomas Carlyle (pictured) was the first writer to use the expression "meaning of life"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Thomas Carlyle. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Thomas Carlyle), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
