You should know that reverting another user's edits without an explanation is generally considered extremely poor form, especially when they provided an explanation for their edits. I would implore you to self-revert, and take your proposed article changes to the talk page. Hijiri 88 (やや) 22:23, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Empire of Japan into History of Japan. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:05, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware it was copied from an article on a sub-topic. This supports my assertion that it was WP:UNDUE to begin with (an assertion that, full disclosure, CT made to me first, by email; almost all of my Wikipedia activity recently has been reactionary, and I didn't notice the edit until I was emailed). Copying an entire section verbatim from Empire of Japan onto the broader History of Japan article (as opposed to, say, the Christianity in Japan article) couldn't possibly be appropriate even if it was attributed.

Information icon Hello, I'm Flyer22 Reborn. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Caste— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 18:09, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
