Welcome![edit]

Hello! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. You are welcome to edit anonymously; however, creating an account is free and has several benefits (for example, the ability to create pages, upload media and edit without one's IP address being visible to the public).

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Bark at the Moon into Jake E. Lee. 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. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 02:29, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Hi. Apologies, but I'm not understanding your point. Everything I added was properly sourced. I wasn't aware there were attribution requirements beyond citing sources. 76.11.30.121 (talk) 02:34, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the text that you added to Jake E. Lee (e.g., Lee claims that after he had composed the songs and completed recording his parts in the studio, he was presented...) was copied from the Bark at the Moon article and originally written by other Wikipedia editors. Copying text from one Wikipedia article to another is allowed, but you need to provide the attribution in the edit summary as described above. DanCherek (talk) 03:41, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The material in question was added by none other than myself to the Bark at the Moon article quite a while ago. 76.11.30.121 (talk) 04:30, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
