Please use edit summaries

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Spideog (talk) 21:49, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

February 2024

Hello, I'm Waxworker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, TRTÉ, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Waxworker (talk) 16:56, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you have added Creative Commons licensed text to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Dog Man: Unleashed. You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Compatibly licensed sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:19, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But, in addition to Diannaa's note above, please also see the essay 'What Wikipedia is Not'. Specifically, Wikipedia is not a mirror. If there's a Wikia article that summarises every chapter of a book, that's great, that's what they're for - there's no need to reproduce that content here. In fact, even if there wasn't a website already doing that, it's still not what we'd do here: see WP:BOOK for what's appropriate for inclusion. But in summary, that'd be sections on Background, Summary/Content, Style/Genre, Analysis, Publication, and Reception, and not a chapter-by-chapter plot summary.

Hello Quayshires! Your additions to 2024 Democratic Unionist Party leadership election 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. You must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. 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 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 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. Please 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. Our policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Isochrone (talk) 19:21, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Limerick mayor election

Hi, I see you've created the new page 2024 Limerick Mayoral election, initially based largely on material from 2024 Limerick City and County Council election. Per the guidelines on Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia, when you copy material from one page to another, you should attribute this in the edit summary.

WP:ES

Hiya. Hope all's well! Could you perhaps, as suggested by Spideog last month, consider using edit summaries to explain/summarise your changes? As expected by related etiquette guidelines? Can you also please, as per the block message you received last month, stop uploading non-free materials to Wikimedia Commons? As covered in related licencing policy? Thanks.

Thanks for your contributions to 2024 Galway County Council election. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

April 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Celebrity Big Brother (British TV series) series 22, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:31, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

History of Fine Gael

Hi, it's good to see you taking part in editing Wikipedia in recent weeks, with many constructive edits. However, I'd have two comments about this edit to History of Fine Gael:

This seems to copy text from a version of Government of the 33rd Dáil. Text copied from one page on Wikipedia to another needs to be attributed. I'd direct you to Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. It's essentially a form of plagiarism to do otherwise. All you need to do is to include "copied text from Government of the 33rd Dáil" in the edit summary. If there are more substantial changes, it can be helpful to use Template:Copied to pinpoint the edit history of the previous page you copied from.
For this given page, remember that this is one that covers the history of Fine Gael from before its foundation to the present day, so it should cover the broad strokes and most significant events in that century or so. There are some articles where it's good to be up to the minute with fresh changes (properly referenced, of course!), such as Taoiseach or Simon Harris, to take these current instances. A page specifically about the history of the party is not such one. The text you added is already out of date. It's not a page that needs a blow-by-blow of a vote in the Dáil.

As I say, it's always good to have more contributors, but do keep an eye too on editing practices and the purposes of different pages within the project. Iveagh Gardens (talk) 19:52, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Leaders of Aontú

A tag has been placed on Category:Leaders of Aontú indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:23, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stop copying without attribution

The page you created 2023 Philip Schofield affair scandal has substantial portions directly copied without attribution from Philip Schofield. It's also not clear that this needs its own page, as it's included in context on the Philip Schofield article. You really should stop either creating new articles or adding large sections to existing articles through direct copying. Iveagh Gardens (talk) 08:25, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of 2023 Philip Schofield affair scandal for deletion

Council control

Notice of discussion at administrators' noticeboard

Hi, while I really don't want to discourage constructive editing, and hope that you continue editing and contributing to Wikipedia, I do think a third party should comment on the manner in which you have been creating new pages by copying without attribution from existing pages. It is better to discuss this here on your page, but not having received a response, I have unfortunately decided to discuss this at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Persistent copying without attribution.

Proposed deletion of Daniel Butler (Irish politician)

The article Daniel Butler (Irish politician) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

While mayors and cathaoirligh are more notable than most local politicians, I’m still not certain that they satisfy WP:POLITICIAN. Butler is the only recent mayor listed at List of mayors of Limerick with an article, which suggests we do not generally accord it with sufficient notability to warrant inclusion I think generally the Lord Mayor of Dublin does get an article, but there usually also sufficient coverage of their role.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Iveagh Gardens (talk) 13:01, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I can look into boosting the page, to include more about Butler and parts of his political career. Quayshires (talk) 16:08, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for sockpuppetry

Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Quayshires. 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.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Quayshires (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

The reason I would like the block to be considered is the fact that Cartoons2022 or WeenieSquireel61 have absolutely nothing to do with me, as I've stated multiple times, but people don't care about facts. It appears that my work is not up to standards of people like Iveagh Gardens, who has attacked my account, almost daily, and deletes articles I made, for they're own gain. I'll be back.

Decline reason:

Confirmed sockpuppetry. Yamla (talk) 16:21, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
