October 2016[edit]

Hello, I'm Moxy. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Your article is now a draft at Draft:Anderson Dairy[edit]

It was not ready to publish, so I have moved it to Draft space so you can work to improve it at your leisure without fear of it being deleted. Please see guidance at top of draft. MatthewVanitas (talk) 23:54, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Anderson Dairy (December 30)[edit]

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Currently this is simply a PR business listing sourced by its own company website; for actual notability, we need significant substantial in-depth major news and no press releases, interviews, company announcements or mentions. If it's a significantly major business in its field and area, it may be notable but, if it's simply a business like any other, it's not going to be automatically inherited notability at all.

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:Anderson Dairy and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Draft:Anderson Dairy concern[edit]

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Anderson Dairy, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:40, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello Rmvisuals, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Elvis Presley 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. This image has no proof of permissions and is tagged for deletion on Commons Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:23, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

:Images you have to purchase on Ebay are not public domain. I will let the Administrators on commons determine weather the file should be deleted. I'm removing the images from those articles (again), please do not put them back until a determination on Commons is made. - FlightTime (open channel) 19:48, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@FlightTime:I own the image. Bill Porter was my grandfather. It is in my personal family archives, though the image can also be found on Ebay. It is fairly common. Many of the Elvis photos on Wikipedia are pulled from Ebay. The photo is in public domain because it was taken before 1978 without a watermark. The copyright license is clearly stated in the public domain license. User:Rmvisuals 12:56, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I might be incorrect about buying images on Ebay, but the issue is not who owns the picture, it's who ons the copyright. As I said, lets see what the admins on Commons say. - FlightTime (open channel) 20:03, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@FlightTime: I understand, but photos taken before 1978 without a watermark are in the public domain. This photo was taken in 1972 and does not have a watermark. User:Rmvisuals 12:56, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Blake Robbins (actor)[edit]

The article Blake Robbins (actor) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Copy-paste of Draft:Blake Robbins (actor) that was previously declined due to WP:NACTOR and WP:NFILMMAKER. Concerns remain.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

September 2022[edit]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Blake Robbins (actor). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Singularity42 (talk) 18:09, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Singularity42. Thank you for your message, just seeing this now. I'm not sure how to execute the move but would be happy to do so! Thanks for your help!
