Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Cassiopeia talk 09:08, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, this WikiPedia was created in 2011 , now we don't have access for it, to edit the content .The content am removing few things and adding new content. Nandalal acharya (talk) 06:13, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I am sorry. I was in a hurry, and noticing the removal of content, I speedily categorized it as that. I forgot to check that you added content. Apollogetticax|^talk 06:15, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sheng Thao[edit]

I have a source link for my earlier edit, but I don't know how to reverse the reversion and add it. This is clearly an evolving story and I thought a timely update would be useful. Just the facts.

Well, you could see the diff between the versions, by pressing View History. Then you could restore that version. There is probably going to be a button that says Undo, or maybe Restore? If it's not there, then probably it's only for registered or autoconfirmed users. In that case I can revert to the original. Apollogetticax|^talk 18:48, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback Appreciated[edit]

Thanks for the assistance with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannesburg_Emergency_Water_Supply. I have (I hope) addressed the issues raised Derek J Moore (talk) 09:28, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello Apollogetticax! Your additions to Draft:New public service 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, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.

Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.

Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.

Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.

Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:55, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, what? I just copyedited and cleaned it up, not added new material! Though yes, I'll try in the future to avoid this problem, even though I didn't do it. First of all: I didn't add or deal with images. Secondly: I didn't add anything new, so I didn't violate the fourth point. And I didn't provide quotations, and I didn't even open the website of the source. So either you are mistaking me for someone else or I violated the fifth rule.

You are correct, I placed the warning on the wrong user talk page. Sorry for the mistake. — Diannaa (talk) 00:14, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
