Copy within requires attribution

You did not identify the source of the material in your edit. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but it must be attributed.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

While best practices are that attribution should be added to the edit summary at the time the edit is made, the linked article on best practices describes the appropriate steps to add attribution after the fact. I hope you will do so.

I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that need to be crossed.S Philbrick (Talk) 15:25, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

November 2022

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard.

Please stop moving drafts to mainspace. Since you are moving drafts to alternative titles, instead of to a title that has been protected to avoid such disruptive creations, you are presumably aware of the problematic history of these drafts. Even if you are not, the drafts you have been moving are not ready to be encyclopedia articles, and that indicates that you are not yet experienced enough to create new articles in mainspace. bonadea contributions talk 16:36, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you create an inappropriate page. bonadea contributions talk 17:00, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ANI

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Commonscity, rapid disruptive page creations and moves. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 20:31, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked as a sockpuppet

Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively as a sockpuppet of User:Anup Rajbanshi per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Anup Rajbanshi. It has been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent abuse.

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.

Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.

Disambiguation link notification for November 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dhawal Shamsher Rana, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Banke. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:00, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
