User talk:Copytopic1

Regarding this protected edit request, could you specify on that talk page why you want it changed? Although I could make the change myself, I don't feel comfortable doing so without a rationale. —Soap— 17:42, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

June 2010

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Palestine. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. nableezy - 05:41, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

you are also edit warring at a number of other articles, please dont continue. nableezy - 05:48, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:3RR, it is a bright line rule. You cannot continue re-reverting or you may be blocked from editing. And there are a number of problems with your edits, including your tendency to include the West Bank and Gaza within Israel. Those issues are best left for the article talk page, I am here to let you know you risk being blocked by continually reverting. Bye. nableezy - 06:40, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edenics

The Edenics website is not a mainstream source. Per the guidelines at Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view#Undue_weight, we assume that the mainstream scientific community is correct and will address alternative opinions in their own articles. However, to even do that, you would have to show that Edenics has attracted significant attention from the outside world to be notable. If the only people talking about Edenics are Edenicists themselves, it won't be notable and won't merit either an article of its own or mentions in other articles.

We never use our own articles as references. You need to read WP:RS and WP:VERIFY as you don't seem to understand what we see as acceptable sources. Your edit at Ham (son of Noah) has also been reverted as you have actually changed what the source says - something editors obviously should not do as it leads readers to believe that the your change reflects the source. Did you actually read the source? Dougweller (talk) 06:59, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I could not locate the source, but did not alter it for that reason. I added the more accurately represented Hebrew concept of "burnt" from the name of the Biblical persona Ham which is the same KM Kemmet root or the letters חמ pronounced Cham (Kam/Ham). I can find a non Wiki source, but felt the best article that expressed this simple idea was already present with relevant sources. Should I proceed? Copytopic1 (talk) 12:38, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you want to do. You can't alter sourced text in a way that no longer represents the text - readers should feel confident that the sourced text reflects what the source says. I don't understand why you think it is more accurate to say that the Egyptian hieroglyphic is the same as the Hebrew. You can add modern academic sources from academics who are known experts in the languages so long as your wording is in accordance with WP:NPOV. Dougweller (talk) 11:32, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think its more sensitive and therefore more accurate because the ancient Hebrew ח chet-mem מ supports pronunciation (Cham) of the KM hieroglyphic, the name validates the founder of Egypt as expressed in the Ancient Hebrew sources. Also,[… Ham the son of Noah, is the name of wickedness in a state of inactivity, but his grandson, Canaan, is the name of wickedness in a state of motion: For Ham being interpreted, means "warm," but Canaan means "commotion."]- Philo, On Sobriety, 10.44–48, translated by Yonge. http://joelnothman.com/downloads/interpretation-gn9-25.pdf Copytopic1 (talk) 00:43, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, Captain Montagu Brownlow Parker

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Captain Montagu Brownlow Parker. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Montague Parker. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Montague Parker – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Niceguyedc ^{Go Huskies!} 09:08, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there and thank you for your interest in the article I created on the French project on Montagu (not Montague) Parker. I have added the due template on the talk page. Please read Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and make sure to follow the recommandations on authors credit (in this case I am the only author of the French article). Failing to credit authors is an infringement of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Please note I am still in the process of writing the French article and I believe you make some claims which are on the dubious side. In any case, if you need any help in developing the article or translating from French, please let me know : I shall be happy to help. Cheers, — Racconish^✉ 15:47, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Montagu Brownlow Parker, 5th Earl of Morley, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page British. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article 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) 08:48, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Copytopic1, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Montagu Brownlow Parker, 5th Earl of Morley has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

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 a cited source. 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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. I've started a rewrite. It clearly needs a bit more biography as well as detail about the Parker expedition. Please try to stay with sources that meet WP:RS, avoiding blogs, personal websites, fringe authors such as Childress or Noorbergen (used in the French article), etc. Thanks. Thank you.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. You appear to be spamming a personal blog, I think by Kevin_Bermeister, to various articles. Please stop. It can't be used as a source or an external link - see WP:RS and WP:SPS. I've removed it from the articles. Dougweller (talk) 10:49, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
