Book of Mormon

Usage of "The Book of Mormon" vs. the "Book of Mormon". If you wish to get the name of the article changed you will have to provide links to reliable sources which say that the official name includes "The". You might like to know that right now, if you search for "The Book of Mormon", you are redirected to the Book of Mormon article. Editor2020 02:42, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gospel of Luke, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Atonement. 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.

European ass

Placing quotes inside links don't work unless they are wp:piped. i.e. use ''[[cebro]]'' and not [[''cebro'']] As there is not an article on the cebro, it is a wp:redlink is there an article with a scientific or other name? Then you can pipe it; example: [[European ass|cebro]] This shows "cebro", but links to European ass: cebro. See wp:linking Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 00:53, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

March 2019

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Tayyib Al-Ism. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. You have been told about MOS:MORMON but are refusing to follow it. At this article and in other places you appear to be ignoring the fact that not all Mormons belong to the same denomination. Doug Weller talk 10:03, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Dpammm! Your additions to Captain Moroni 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. — Diannaa (talk) 21:53, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Square bales

Brick shaped straw bales are referred to as square bales because the corners are square (90 degrees), the term square used to distinguish square from round bales. If you search for a rectangular baler for sale, search AI will tell you that they have expanded your search "Including results for small square balers for sale" so you would actually have some usable results. -- Paleorthid (talk) 18:06, 29 October 2024 (UTC) edited 18:14, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

"Small rectangular bales, often referred to as square bales, have been the most popular over the past 50 years." https://www.agproud.com/articles/32770-bale-sizes-and-shapes-picking-what-s-right-for-you -- Paleorthid (talk) 18:11, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. Two thoughts:

(1) I don’t know if Wikipedia message etiquette permits playfulness, but in case it does I’m wondering if correcting all the edits on this one like mine leaves you any time for work, food, sleep, etc. :)

(2) serious now, your edit description is hard on some enthusiastic Wikipedia surfers readers who are scholastically mainstream yet neurodivergent (some folks with autism, etc.) and can really struggle with cases like this per their difficulty with inferred meaning and dry/ironic/gallows humor. This is an important aspect of this item, kindly keep it in mind. Thanks! Dpammma (talk) 10:22, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
