George Izard

File George Izard.jpg already in commons.
Please, delete File:George Izard.jpg, thank you. --Francois-Pier (talk) 04:07, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They're the same. (The Wikipedia one links to its Commons description page in the first line.) —Gryllida (talk) 08:53, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Will Durant

[edit]

I remark a line in Will Durant#Selected books because the link is not a bibliography of Will Durant, but commercial books, etc., used under Will Durant's titles, please check it... --Francois-Pier (talk) 07:16, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They're a bibliography (meaning 2) — books he wrote. Which ones are not? —Gryllida (talk) 08:56, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You mast edit the section Will Durant#Selected books, because i hide the link with <!-- --> (see the remark there). --Francois-Pier (talk) 13:26, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Besides, the link you gave is a parked domain, it doesnt look like a bibliography to me. (Were it an official working website of the author, I couldn't rely on it as a primary source.) —Gryllida (talk) 13:56, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, it were not you who gave the link. And the link is — now — broken (presumably it wasn't at the time of writing the article). I located an archive. —Gryllida (talk) 14:01, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nice job, thank you. --Francois-Pier (talk) 15:12, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Nice find (thank you too). Gryllida (talk) 15:46, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Καλησπέρα.

Βλέπω ότι είστε ο δημιουργός του προτύπου el:Πρότυπο:Chess diagram/τεκμηρίωση. Έχω κάνει μια παρατήρηση στην σελίδα συζήτησης του προτύπου. Αν θα θέλατε να το κοιτάξετε το θέμα, διότι ενώ προσπάθησα να το λύσω αντιγράφοντας και τροποποιώντας τα Modules el:Module:Chessboard και el:Module:Chessboard mxn και ύστερα να διορθώσω το el:Πρότυπο:Chess diagram/τεκμηρίωση δεν τα κατάφερα γιατί όπως φαίνεται οι γνώσεις μου δεν επαρκούν και δεν θα ήθελα να καταστρέψω την δουλειά που έχετε κάνει.

Hi.
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

EB1911 and Earwig

[edit]

Thank you for this edit (September 2014) and others like it. However to meet the requirements in the plagiarism guideline it is necessary to add in-line citations. If an Wikipedia article, started out as a copy of an EB1911 it may well have attracted more text since. This can make it time consuming to read the original on Wikisource and work out which is the original source. Thankfully there are a number of comparison tools that can be used. I think that the best one is Earwig (linked in the box on the right).

Using the article Jan Gruter and the url of the Wikisource article https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica/Gruter,_Jan, the copied areas show up as red. It is then quite easy to add {{sfn|Chisholm|1911|p=641}} where needed.

Invitation to the African Destubathon

[edit]

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

[edit]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 06:09, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of people named Peter, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Peter Bainbridge (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

October 2020

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Austin Abbott. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 19:21, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

By way of a contras with my last posting Earwig's Copyvio Detector gives a "Violation Possible 56.6%". Of course this can not be used mechanically and an editor need to check what is flagging the possible violation as it might be "a list of works" or "quotes" that are not subject to the need for attribution as requested in the plagiarism guideline", however in this case I think Diannaa was right. -- PBS (talk) 12:09, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

cite BDA1906

[edit]

With this edit (Revision as of 03:00, 31 October 2020 to "George Ade") you added a citation using template {{cite dictionary}} I have just completed two new specific templates to replace the need to use the general one. They are {{cite BDA1906}} and {{BDA1906}}. They fill out most of the fields for you. All you have to do is add three parameters wstitle= volume= and page=

Also if a source is cited then a copy to the same source ought not to be placed in the "External links" section (see the section "references and citation" in external links guideline).

I ran the earwig copyright vio program over the two articles: Violation Unlikely 4.8%, so there was no need for you to postpend the template {{PD-notice}} to the citation. Now that I have checked that I will re-edit the page and change the citation from {{BDA1906}} to {{cite BDA1906}}

BTW this sort of custom template to link to articles on wikisource is not well documented, but there are dozens of them. A search in the template space for the name of the source will usual find one if it exists. There is a partial list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikisource/Citation Uniformity. I have a chaotic list on my notes page: User:PBS/Notes#List_of_PD_Templates.
