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, Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 08:58, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thx[edit]

Thank you for discussing here, rather than edit warring! Such courteous adherence to fundamental Wikipedia guidelines is beginning to be a rare commodity. SergeWoodzing (talk) 17:05, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fiat money[edit]

The IP editor correctly reports the citation. You should let it stand. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 13:02, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No intention to revert the new proper edit. FutureFlowsLoveYou (talk) 13:13, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I may have given the IP more credit than is due. I have invited them to make a case for change at Talk:Fiat money#Edit war over Goldberg citation. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 18:02, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello FutureFlowsLoveYou! Your additions to Saia 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. Please 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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 00:34, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Don't understand why I've been sent this, I have not added any content to that article, only reverted edits that weren't about copyright. Maybe see the post history for the original attribution? FutureFlowsLoveYou (talk) 10:34, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The message was sent to the wrong person. Sorry for the mistake. — Diannaa (talk) 13:15, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I'll probably make the mistake myself at some point! FutureFlowsLoveYou (talk) 15:01, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Vancouver Forum[edit]

I deleted the reference to Zappa playing Vancouver's PNE Forum in August 1968 because it's incorrect. The concert in question actually took place in the Kerrisdale Arena, elsewhere in Vancouver, and the CD of the gig that was released by the Zappa Family Trust clearly states that on the package. The date is correct, but nothing else. I would know this for a fact even without the CD, as I attended that concert (I was 16). This is the first time I've tried to edit a Wikipedia article-- I opened an account specifically to make this correction-- so I'm stumbling along trying to learn proper editing procedures, not that I plan to make a habit of this. But I am a stickler for accuracy. I know a good deal about Vancouver's musical history in the 60s and early 70s (not to mention quite a number of other subjects) and I can tell you that there's a lot of misinformation out there on that topic. I try to correct online misinformation when I come across it, otherwise it will spread, thanks to the "it-must-be-true-'cause-I-saw-it-on-the-internet" people.

Can I now go ahead and correct the erroneous citation again?

G.W. Nothatsincorrect (talk) 03:46, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for discussing, rather than reverting again! Reading through the citation, seems you're right. I'm not opposed to you making the edit again with a summary, without one it's difficult for others tell if it's well-intentioned or ill-intentioned. Though I don't own any article, so you don't need my permission to be WP:BOLD.

I understand your concern about spreading misinformation, It's a very real effect. Wikipedia is a misinformation-amplifier especially in niche areas like live music, I've even corrected which venue a live show took place at myself. Don't be hesitant to edit, and good luck.

LLaMA 2 - Chat[edit]

Hi, your recent edit to the LLamA page lower-cased "chat" in "Llama 2 - Chat" (separate from "Llama 2"), which is (a) incorrect per sources, (b) introduces an obvious spelling inconsistency on the page. Hope you can undo promptly. Thx. A different issue is that LLaMA 2 is now often spelled just Llama 2, but let's leave it for another time. Qq8 (talk) 11:43, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I don't understand what it is you say the error is. FutureFlowsLoveYou (talk) 11:52, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@FutureFlowsLoveYou, your fresh changes addressed the issue. Thank you Qq8 (talk) 17:17, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Possible sock" at Bill Lancaster[edit]

Yeah, that's a known block-evading hopper. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 13:40, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha, good to know. Made the guess from comparing IP's and diffs with the previous blocked IP editor on that article. FutureFlowsLoveYou (talk) 14:54, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

birupaksha naga kirata[edit]

Hello. May i know why u undo my addition? Birupaksha is the nagavanshi king during kirat era. Kirat is term used for hill people. Kirat dynasty refers to any hill kingdome. With respect to Nepal, kirat dynasty of kathmandu valley is ruled by naga kirata tribes, birupaksha being solid evidence. His status you can find in pasupatinath. He was a yogi just like buddha who got status/title of birupaksha. Kindly don't revert without giving proper evidence, 2400:1A00:B040:4E3F:4815:6D06:84DB:3BAE (talk) 16:51, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are not writing to the correct person, see the page history again. FutureFlowsLoveYou (talk) 17:22, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
