Disambiguation link notification for April 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fingallian language, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tolka (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Fingallian

Hi UtDicitur. I see you recently moved Fingalian language to Fingallian language by cut and paste. So you know, moves like that are deprecated as they destroy the edit history, which is necessary for attribution. I went ahead and merged the edit histories for the two pages, and left it under the "Fingallian" spelling as I think you're right (I've now moved the article to just Fingallian). If you didn't know, established editors can move pages themselves; the function is found under the arrow immediately to the left of the "search" area in most setups. If the move is obstructed or controversial in some way, you can submit a move request. Cheers, and let me know if I can help you in any way.--Cúchullain ^t/c 13:06, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting your input re the Wikipedia Astrology Project

Hi UtDicitur

I have joined the Wikipedia Astrology project today and am contacting you as a listed member of that project. There has been a proposal to consider the project dead and merge it with 12 other alternative subjects into a new wiki project which would oversee all aspects of fringe. I think it would be a shame to lose the astrology project on the basis that it has no active participants without contacting the members directly and exploring ideas for new ways to work together on astrology-related pages. It would be very useful if you would visit the discussion and let us know if your interest in the project is still active, or what it might take to rekindle it.

Deletion discussion about Thomas R. Porter

Hello, UtDicitur,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Thomas R. Porter should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thomas R. Porter .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello UtDicitur, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Yarsanism have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
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 can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. MPS1992 (talk) 18:39, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Further the above, I noticed that part of your recent addition to People's Freedom Movement had been copied and pasted from the source, speficially the text that would allow its citizens at a later date to determine in a separate referendum the question of whether Jamaica should become a republic. It's concerning that the issues raised above do not seem to have been addressed, so please be very careful to ensure that you are not creating more copyright violations as this may eventually lead to you being blocked. Cheers, Number 5 7 10:12, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Refspam

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Ten Principles for the Establishment of a Monolithic Ideological System. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. —Paleo Neonate – 03:57, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Native Americans in the United States‎

This edit[1] is out of date. Probably true of most of the related articles as people edit them separately. Where there's a main article the summary in another articles is supposed to match the main article, but that's usually ignored. Doug Weller talk 11:48, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 20:12, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am also very concerned with the massive amounts of edits you are doing to this article, most of which are inserting out of date data and attitudes about Indigenous people. You are removing important text that contextualizes historical events, and situates living Native American communities and cultures in the past, when these communities and cultures still exist. If this POV turns out to be intrinsic to all the edits you've done, hitting "undo" on the problematic edits is not going to be possible and massive reverts are going to be required. I think you need to slow down and engage with others on the talk page, otherwise you're going to probably wind up feeling like you've wasted a lot of time once it gets reverted. It's not pleasant having to revert a massive amount of work someone's done, but looking over this, we really may have no other choice. Also, WP:RADAR - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 20:12, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

UtDicitur, I was wondering if you had anything to say about your practically nil engagement with other editors on article talk pages? Even on your own talk page, you rarely engage with people. --Mark Ironie (talk) 00:08, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I have offended anyone. My only intent was to tidy up a badly organised article and make what I thought were a few uncontroversial additions. UtDicitur (talk) User_talk:CorbieVreccan, User:Mark Ironie

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Indigenous peoples of the Northeastern Woodlands, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cayuga (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Did you review the sources?

Its a great resource to get info from others wiki articles....but there is a concern that you actually have not seen the sources you have moved over......must remember you need to seen and verify the source to use them....dont assume the sources are correct. Plus best not to move unsourced info at all. This is just a heads up!-

Standard greeting

Welcome to Wikipedia, UtDicitur! Thank you for your contributions. This is an encyclopedia, so remember that it's a necessity to include references listing reliable websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you have used to write or expand articles.

However, you must not copy and paste text you find anywhere, except for short quotations, marked as such with quote marks and carefully cited to the source the quote was taken from. New articles and statements added to existing articles may be deleted by others if unreferenced or referenced poorly or if they are copyright violations. See referencing for beginners for more details.

List of public art in Belfast moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, List of public art in Belfast, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

"Tolkien" images

What's the point of the initial letter illustrations? Or the geographical images that don't depict Tolkien's world? (I made similar remarks on Talk:Arnor before realizing you were doing this more widely.) -- Elphion (talk)

They are images from the real world landscapes that inspired Tolkien. If a region is called 'Land of Holly' it seems to me to be legitimate to use an image of a holly, or 'Land of Pines' to use an image of pines trees from a Northern European landscape. It seems to me to be helpful to illustrate an article called 'Old man Willow' with a picture of of a mature willow, so that the reader can visualise better what Tolkien intended. And so on. There is also the problem that there is a severe lack of Middle-Earth images that are not copyrighted, and the articles suffer as a result. I agree that using the initial letter of the name of the location might seem a bit tenuous, but it helps to give a feel for Tolkien's world. UtDicitur (talk) 09:37, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So where do you draw the line? I imagine a willow might help the reader visualize Old Man Willow, but showing an ocean for Belegaer is rather overkill. And I laughed out loud at the yellow boots at Tom Bombadil. Is this generation so besotted with images that the printed word is incapable of conveying meaning? The initial letters are completely pointless and just increase network bandwidth. -- Elphion (talk) 15:26, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm afraid this generation is besotted with images. I'm glad you liked the yellow boots.. I think there is a humorous, whimsical side to Tom Bombadil so I thought it was appropriate. I will remove the initial letters as I agree the link is weak, but I think the other images add to the articles UtDicitur (talk) 16:17, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
