Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from William Bolts into Austrian East India Company. 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. — Diannaa (talk) 14:54, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the notice. Apologies for the troubles caused. However, my edits in Austrian East India Company were not copied from William Bolts. In this edit, I added 23 URLs in the "References" section and 3 URLs in the "Further Reading" section. I didn't add the sources in that article (which could have been copied from William Bolts); they were already there when I edited it. If you check the "References" section in William Bolts, only Source No. 2 has a URL attached. For the sources common to both articles in "References" section (i.e. Sources 12-30 of William Bolts), none of the sources (in William Bolts) have links attached to it, which wouldn't have been the case if I copied it from the said article. The URLs I added in "Further Reading" of "Austrian East India Company", do not match with those in the corresponding section of "William Bolts". There are indeed 2 sources in William Bolts ("Indian Antiquary" Vol. 42, and N. L. Hallward's "William Bolts, A Dutch adventurer under John Company"), whose URLs are the same as the one I've attached in my edit, however, the URL for "Indian Antiquary" (in "William Bolts") does not redirect to a specific page. In my edit, the corresponding URL redirects to a specific page, in line with the source it is attached to (The page cited in "Austrian East India Company" is not the same for "William Bolts"). The URL for N. L. Hallward's book was a mere coincidence, rather than copying. I hope this clarifies it.

However, if my edit is still "copying" under Wikipedia guidelines by some other criteria, let me know, and I'll rectify. Nitro Absynthe (talk) 07:10, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's a lot of text overlap with the William Bolts article, but it must have been added by someone else. Sorry for the mistake.— Diannaa (talk)
