Septrmber 2021: Please sign your posts[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you.--Quisqualis (talk) 03:18, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Quisqualis Hi, i do try to not forget signing my post but the problem is that it sometimes glitches when i click "Sign your posts on talk pages: ~~ ~~!" And my post doesnt get signed. Then i have to return to the post and re-edit it. Is this a common glitch?

October 2021[edit]

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Korn: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Uranium Site (talk) 11:12, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Uranium Site Yes I knew about the templates and the page you shared but i still havent figured out how to insert it. Could you share me how and also share an example?

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Thanks LostCitrationHunter (talk) 11:16, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

On the linked page, you'll see the various "Level X" columns - the text in each box is exactly what you would place; for example, if you wanted to leave a level-2 warning for disruptive editing, you would add {{subst:uw-disruptive2}} to the user's talk page. If you want more help, change the {{help me-helped}} back into a {{help me}}, stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance.

Twinkle?![edit]

Yes, WP:TWINK. If you are interested in helping out with vandalism correction, Twinkle is an easy way to add those warning templates on vandal's talk pages. Ifnord (talk) 15:25, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello LostCitrationHunter! Your additions to User:LostCitrationHunter/sandbox 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. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:12, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Justlettersandnumbers: @Jack Frost:Yes, i know plagiarism is obviously prohibited but i wasnt aware that it extended to drafts and even sandboxes! The reason why i copied the specific lines and the link beneath it is because i wanted to use those info in the future and i thought i do put in th draft/sandbox. Please dont be mistaken i dont intend to plagiarise, i only intended to keep them as a reference point like i said earlier.

OK, thanks for your reply – that's a fairly common misunderstanding. As long as you understand now that any copyright material you want to use as a source should be stored offline, not in Wikipedia. If you you have questions, do please ask; here on this page will be fine. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:40, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just to note that copyright violations and plagiarism are different things. You can copy a large chunk of text in from a source and credit the author, and it won't be plagiarism, but it will be a copyright violation. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:00, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Soccer Team Notability[edit]

Thank you User:LostCitrationHunter for your post in my thread about the article I made for Georgia Storm FC. I had to make a new teahouse post as it was archived over the weekend. Is there any way you could copy your thoughts in the archived post and repost it? I am at my wits end trying to get this article accepted. I added a lot to it today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Georgia_Storm_FC Kevinw33 (talk) 16:44, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kevinw33 this is what i gave in the Teahouse

Hello ColinFine I have checked the one you said is more important but like the OP mentioned, it only gives guidelines about Football Athletes and not teams. As for Teams and clubs, it says "This guideline does not provide any general criteria for the presumed notability of sports teams and clubs. Some sports have specific criteria. Otherwise, teams and clubs are expected to demonstrate notability by the general notability guideline." Therefore our only guidelines for teams should be the second one and not the first. I think this page deserves to be given the green-light as it satisfies general notibility (And to @Kevinw33:, you have mentioned your team has a large fanbase/Ultras/fan club, right? I would add that also as a notibility factor).--LostCitrationHunter (talk) 14:56, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

I think your article definitely notable, only idiots who can't read would cite the guidelines regarding players. However there's is one minor issue, your team was 'founded' in 2020.(Although it started out in 2014 as a youth club, maybe you should mention that too) But at the moment as someone said, its a bit too early. My suggestion would be to copy the draft and paste it in your user page because drafts get deleted after 6 months of inactivity. You can continue editting it till the article becomes notable. In the mean time you can also volunteer at the [[1]] Happy editting! --LostCitrationHunter (talk) 06:40, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Attention Theodore Orji and Chinedum Orji fake information[edit]

Please my edit is not an act of vandalism on Theodore Orji and Chinedum Orji. They are my Principals and the information posted against them are incorrect NdigboWorldwide (talk) 08:35, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

NdigboWorldwide Thank you for responding! There have been a couple of searches coming up showing that "the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission announced an investigation into Orji and his sons". Here are some of them that appeared in my google search

What matters here is whether or not the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission actually launched investigations. What does not matter is whether the outcome of the result is true (Ofcourse it does matter and all the criticisms related to the investigation must properly acknowledged in the section but the investigation just started). The latter may have been your concern. But since Theodore Orji and Chinedum Orji are living individual's their pages are Biography of Living People (BLP). So your concerns will be looked carefully and verified. And by Principals i assume "Principal Secretary of the Government House" and not school principl?--LostCitrationHunter (talk) 09:10, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your responses so far. The sources that you made reference to are sponsored sources used to tarnish their image. The two individuals have no cases established by the EFCC. They haven’t been charged to Court but as individuals who are in public service, they respond to petitions written against them. Please disregard those sources and remove the notes from their biographies. Thanks NdigboWorldwide (talk) 09:17, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

NdigboWorldwide can you provide any evidences to back up your claim?--LostCitrationHunter (talk) 09:22, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you said you could help me find the source for a PDF file[edit]

I am not certain how I can send you the PDFs without Wikipedia blocking the link. Is there any other way I can contact you to send a link? Sorry if I am doing something wrong, I find Wikipedia a bit confusing still.

--Parzival2101 (talk) 14:42, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Parzival2101Could you tell how you got the pdf? is it downloaded or from chrome without being saved on your desktop?If it is published by the Police then it must be available online, usually what i do is pick out an unique sentence that has "standing-out information" like names, dates etc and search online for it--LostCitrationHunter (talk) 15:50, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

External URLs[edit]

Hello, I'm Schazjmd. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Haraldskær Woman have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Never add an external URL to text in the body of an article. External URLs should only be within REF tags or in an "External links" section at the end of the article.

Dmitry Borisovich Volkov[edit]

Hello. Please help me correct the information in the article. The IP participant entered information that the Dating Group is part of AnastasiaDate. In fact, AnastasiaDate is part of the Dating Group. It's the opposite. He also added information that the dating group is located offshore. Is this site authoritative to add such information? Thanks! 2A00:1FA1:401C:72FA:D5D5:7434:8F38:901B (talk) 15:49, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2A00:1FA1:401C:72FA:D5D5:7434:8F38:901B ICIJ were the ones behind panama leaks and i think they are fairly credible. I believe you were the person whos edit i reverted earlier. Here's a tip if you want your edits not to be reverted. I suggest neutral, mentioning something along the lines of "according to offshoreleaks released by ICIJ(put the full name btw) Dmitry is suspected of tax evasion" or whatever it is that he has been accused of by the organisation. True information alone isnt enough in the world of wikipedia, maintaining neutrality is also important. The encyclopediac language comes only with practice by the way. An example is this that i found in the wiki page for AnastasiaDate

AnastasiaDate ltd appears in the ICIJ offshore leaks database and is linked to both Malta and the British Virgin Islands[21]. The dating.com group parent company also appears in the ICIJ offshore leaks database

As for your first part i have changed it. Happy editing!--LostCitrationHunter (talk) 11:58, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Shallow water equations[edit]

I removed content you re-added in this edit, as it was copied from https://www.cambridge.org/core/product/identifier/S0962492918000028/type/journal_article. There was really no way you could have known that when adding back in, so this is more of a note than a warning. Moneytrees🏝️^{Talk/CCI guide} 20:50, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh understandable, I thought the reason that the previous two editors removed it was because it was poorly written and so I thought I would edit it a bit. Yikes, didn't know it was plagiarized! Thanks for the note LostCitrationHunter (talk) 15:05, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
