Disambiguation link notification for February 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited L'Aigle Creek (Saline River of the Ouachita River), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Moreau (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Changes to Business cycle

Hi, James. I stumbled across your recent addition to the Business cycle article, and noticed that it was out of place within the article. Because the yield curve explanation of the business cycle is just one theory among many, I moved it into the Explanations section. I also took the opportunity to break up a couple of run-on sentences, and to fix a spelling typo. On the whole I think it makes a good contribution to the article. Thanks for your work. —Aetheling (talk) 21:40, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation

Hello, Copeland.James.H,

The Editing team is asking for your help with VisualEditor. I am contacting you because you may have tried to use VisualEditor before. Please tell them what they need to change to make VisualEditor work well for you. The team has a list of top-priority problems, but they also want to hear about small problems. These problems may make editing less fun, take too much of your time, or be as annoying as a paper cut. The Editing team wants to hear about and try to fix these small things, too.

You can share your thoughts by clicking this link. You may respond to this quick, simple, anonymous survey in your own language. If you take the survey, then you agree your responses may be used in accordance with these terms. This survey is powered by Qualtrics and their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy.

More information (including a translateable list of the questions) is posted on wiki at mw:VisualEditor/Survey 2015. If you have questions, or prefer to respond on-wiki, then please leave a message on the survey's talk page.

model years vs calendar years

Thank you for your edit at Toyota GR engine#2GR-FKS. However, please note that the engine article quite clearly labels vehicle applications by calendar years, not model years. Model years is a very US specific thing that is utterly confusing to non-Americans. Since Wikipedia is an international encyclopaedia, we try to avoid systems such as model years that are not understood by a large proportion of our readers. Also, Wikipedia cannot be its own reference. References must be to sources outside of Wikipedia. Thanks. Stepho talk 00:23, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Polyalkylene glycols, from its old location at User:McKnight Buchanan/Polyalkylene glycols. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 01:33, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Polyalkylene glycols (August 29)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.

This submission appears to be taken from https://www3.epa.gov/npdes/pubs/vgp_environmentally_acceptable_lubricants.pdf. Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure. Note to reviewers: do not leave copyright violations sitting in the page history. Please follow the instructions here.

You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work.

Draft:Polyalkylene glycols may be deleted at any time unless the copied text is removed. Copyrighted work cannot be allowed to remain on Wikipedia.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page. or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, McKnight Buchanan! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Dan arndt (talk) 01:42, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello McKnight Buchanan, I wanted to let you know that I've reverted the decline of your draft because you are correct in that unless otherwise noted, works produced by the US federal government are public domain. However, as it stands, your article may still not be ready for acceptance. Please incorporate other source information more smoothly into the article, and please review other chemical lubricant articles on Wikipedia for ideas as to how to make it more readily acceptable. You can visit the IRC help channel again at #wikipedia-en-help ^connect if you have more questions, and please wait longer for a helper to assist you. Helpers are all volunteers and help as they are able, so are not always instantly available to assist. Best wishes to you. Waggie (talk) 02:53, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Vietnam War into Bay of Pigs Invasion. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:22, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Per your edits today to Arkansas (here) and Timeline of Little Rock, Arkansas ([1]), I do not think you quite have the hang of this yet. All information on Wikipedia has to be CITED to WP:RELIABLE sources. When you copy information from other articles, you must also copy the citations so that the information can be VERIFIED by readers and other editors. And as explained to you above, several other steps must also be taken when copying from other articles, such as leaving a note at the article copied froms talk page, and an explanatory note left in the edit summary. Please take the time to learn how to do this correctly before attempting it again. He iro 00:42, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

I have removed your separate section on bicycle mudguards/fenders, since they are already mentioned near the start of the 'Accessories' section. which you must know because you edited that sentence. Murray Langton (talk) 18:29, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with your custom signature

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Copying licensed material requires attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Greed and fear you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 01:08, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bicycle wheel: Undid edit, removing non-free content

Hi McKnight, thank you for your recent edit of bicycle wheel. I find the content interesting, but I undid the edit for the following reason: Those two paragraphs are slightly rephrased but effectively copied content from the commercial site that the edit references. The terms of use of the site clearly do not allow this without authorization. We can only copy from there if they also offer that content under a compatible license. You could however, rewrite the content in your own words, making sure that the wording is not similar to the original, and use the original as a reference. --RainerBlome (talk) 19:47, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stone tools thought to be between 2.6 and 3 million years old near Paranthropus teeth

Goddamn, you beat me to it. I had recently read about Paranthropus on wikipedia, and when I saw the news article about the stone tools, I planned to add the new info myself. But hey, congrats for beating me to it. -- Troopersho (talk) 21:40, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Inman

Hey, just making sure you've got the right Charles Inman. It wasn't an uncommon name at the time, and there were others in TN. Looking at a few genealogy sites (admittedly not reliable), this Charles Inman didn't have a daughter named Elizabeth. BrineStans (talk) 16:31, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This site [2] suggests the Charles Inman who is the subject of this Wiki article had a cousin named Charles Woodward Inman (b. 1831), born in nearby Jefferson Co., TN. This latter Charles had a daughter named Elizabeth, b. 1858, so that may be the one you're looking for. Sorry, I couldn't find a better source. Just note, there were several Charles Inmans running around TN at the time of the Civil War, and some sites may confuse their respective histories. BrineStans (talk) 17:08, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. I took a look at the entry, and it squares with the source above, i.e., Charles Woodward Inman (1831-1888), not the Charles Inman that is the subject of this article (1810-1899). They were second cousins, according to that site. BrineStans (talk) 17:14, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
