Copyright problem on German General Staff

Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:23, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lawrence Bragg

Please be more careful with your edits to Lawrence Bragg, I have undone two already, one removed numerous references and links, another broke a reference called elsewhere in the article. You also seem to be introducing American spelling contrary to WP:ENGVAR. I suggest you make smaller edits, and WP:PREVIEW them to check the effect they have.

Battle of Wörth citations

Hi: last February you made some edits to Battle of Wörth that included references (using {{sfn}}) to Moltke 1892, Ollier 1873, and Moltke 1907. But there is no target for those citations. Ideally they should be generated by a {{cite book}} or similar (and, I believe, a "ref=harv" parameter to provide a target to match the sfn). Can you take a look?

I came here to put inline footnotes to flesh out the EB1911 citation. It turns out that the article's text is almost entirely lifted from Maude's EB1911 original; see the original June 2003 creation, which still comprises the bulk of the article today. Did Maude copy from Moltke and Ollier, or are you just pointing to parallel descriptions of the battle? David Brooks (talk) 23:57, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Adding: By "Maude" I meant the credited author of the EB1911 article, s:Author:Frederic Natusch Maude. You can see how little the body of the WP article has changed here. Normally I would tag each paragraph with a {{sfn|Maude|1911|p=83x}} but just wanted to know the relationship between the text and your sources. David Brooks (talk) 15:01, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have come here independently of David Brooks and have the same question (having just added inline citations to EB1911). On 19 February 2019 you made a series of edits to the article Battle of Wörth (diffs). You added a series of short inline citations, but unfortunatly you did not add the support source to the References list at the bottom so we now have in the article a series of short inline citations eg {{snf|Moltke|1892|pp=14-19}} and {{sfn|Ollier|1873|p=27}} Please add the corresponding full citation to the References list at the bottom as has been done for:

In text citation.{{sfn|German General Staff|1881|p=107*}}
References full source {{cite book |author=German General Staff |title=The Franco-German War 1870-71: Part 1; Volume 1 |publisher=Clowes & Sons |location=London |year=1881 |edition=2nd |ref=harv }}

If you do not add the long reference I will revert the edits (Under WP:CHALLENGE) because most of the text is supported by the EB1911 article (see this earwig diff). However I would prefer that your more up to date citations remain in the article so please do it soon. -- PBS (talk) 16:05, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Western border of Russia in 2014.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Western border of Russia in 2014.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file licensed as "for non-commercial use only", "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only", or "used with permission"; and it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
add the relevant copyright tag and if necessary, a complete fair use rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
