Welcome![edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Thank you for contributing edits to Attitude (psychology) that were made in good faith, but have been deemed not to contribute positively to the article. These edits have thus been reverted. Wikipedia's page on unacceptable additions may explain why. If you'd like to experiment with the syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

Some good links for newcomers are:

Help contents – the main help page.

Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and a timestamp. If you need help, check out the Teahouse, ask the Help Desk, or place {{Help me}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Once again, welcome! Fettlemap (talk) 15:35, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

October 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you recently removed content from Fikayo Tomori without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

April 2023[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Berrell Jensen, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please pay particular note to the concept of overlinking. Wikipedia is at its most helpful to readers when articles have enough links but not too many, so the community has written guidelines to help editors determine what should and should not be turned into a link. —jameslucas ^{▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄} 20:04, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

June 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm JML1148. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Abacha (food), but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. JML1148 (talk | contribs) 09:42, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

July 2023[edit]

Can you explain why you deleted a sourced Personal life section from Ayo Obe? —C.Fred (talk) 16:46, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm JalenFolf. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Ayo Obe, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Jalen Folf (talk) 16:51, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I kindly removed it because the citation wasn't in alliance with the write up which can be misleading to the public BJ 77 (talk) 17:00, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And what is your source that either she is married or she does not have a child? —C.Fred (talk) 17:03, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

the write up and the citation are not equal, I will kindly source for the above BJ 77 (talk) 17:07, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello BJ 77! Your additions to Edward Loure have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

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. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
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 must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Voello _talk 00:44, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
