Copying from other articles edit
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you want to copy or move text from one or more pages into another page. 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. Personally I'd only do this for very large chunks, and then I'd be concerned that some of it might be out of date, it might have poor sources, it might have misrepresented sources, or even sources that have beren through editing moved away from the text they source. I've found all these problems You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 18:12, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Doug Weller - I believe I took many if not all of those steps but used terms like "port" instead of "copy" as well as keeping an accompanying narrative of my changes on the Cherokee talk and Cherokee Freedmen Controversy talk pages. I'll review the edits and take more consideration to follow the established Wikipedia guidelines. Thanks for the heads up. Anotherpinkfloydinthewall (talk) 19:02, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- No problem. I had no idea about this when I started. Doug Weller talk 19:13, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Massive Karmapa deletions edit
Hi. Sent you a ping about the edits/deletions which don't have consensus. Its a problem. Take a look at the talk page and please respond. Thanks. Pasdecomplot (talk) 16:20, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
- Let's discuss the points made on the talk page, NPOV, and deletions before you continue to edit the article, ok? Thanks Pasdecomplot (talk) 16:32, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
August 2020 edit
Hello, I'm Celestina007. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Karmapa controversy seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Celestina007 13:27, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
August 2020 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Karmapa controversy, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Celestina007 13:55, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
16th Karmapa edit
Just wanted to reach out and thank you for your edits on the 16th Karmapa page. Expanding the "miracles" section, as well as adding "interaction with Hopi" gives color to the life stories of the Karmapa. Badabara (talk) 06:28, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
