Happy editing!

I've reverted your change to Ulysses (novel). There's already a section on influence and normally we would expect a source that establishes both the fact and its notability. I DO hope you will stick around and help, though! Check out the links above. --John (User:Jwy/talk) 20:33, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

October 2021

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. David Biddulph (talk) 17:25, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reflections on the Psalms moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, Reflections on the Psalms, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Goodreads' reviews are user-generated, so Wikipedia generally doesn't consider it an independent, reliable source. It's possible that reviews of the book or articles about it exist. Once you incorporate some into the article, please move it back to mainspace. You may find the Wikipedia Library helpful in your search. Mcampany (talk) 23:48, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Copying licensed material requires attribution

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you have inserted Creative Commons licensed text into Wikipedia, as you did at Magnetic resonance imaging. You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed 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#Compatibly-licensed sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 13:07, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Control copyright icon Hello Sebastianleroy! Your additions to CT scan 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. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. 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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 13:09, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you have been copying text from elsewhere into Wikipedia since October 2021; please don't do that anymore. DanCherek (talk) 13:34, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, Sebastianleroy. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Reflections on the Psalms, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 00:47, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Sebastianleroy. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Reflections on the Psalms".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 15:38, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Important notes

[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hi Sebastianleroy, you have made a substantial change to controversial content in the article about J. K. Rowling. Please note that there have been extensive discussions about the article's content, currently linked at Talk:J. K. Rowling, that led to the state you have modified. This is not necessarily an argument against your change, as you may well have noticed an issue that others have not, but it is more likely that you have just made an edit against a wide consensus. If this turns out to be the case (for example if you are reverted by someone referring to an earlier discussion), please make sure to discuss your change on the talk page instead of starting an edit war by restoring changes others have objected to.

You may be interested in the discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Eyes_on_J._K._Rowling_TFA, in which editors have voiced concerns about possible disruption occurring as soon as the article appears on the main page.

Best regards,
