May 2016 edit

  Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Anti-bullying legislation. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain 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#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:45, 15 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Wiki Loves Pride 2016 edit

As a participant of WikiProject LGBT studies, you are invited to participate in the third annual Wiki Loves Pride campaign, which runs through the month of June. The purpose of the campaign is to create and improve content related to LGBT culture and history. How can you help?

  1. Create or improve LGBT-related Wikipedia pages and showcase the results of your work here
  2. Document local LGBT culture and history by taking pictures at pride events and uploading your images to Wikimedia Commons
  3. Contribute to an LGBT-related task force at another Wikimedia project (Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikivoyage, etc.)

Looking for topics? The Tasks page, which you are welcome to update, offers some ideas and wanted articles.

This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. The group's mission is to develop LGBT-related content across all Wikimedia projects, in all languages. Visit the affiliate's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a neutral point of view. One does not need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome! If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's talk page.

Thanks, and happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:03, 30 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Re: LGBT in Chile edit

Thank you for starting this article. I hope you don't mind, but I added the article to Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Pride 2016/Results, which tracks new and improved LGBT-related content as part of an ongoing Wiki Loves Pride campaign. If you create or improve other LGBT articles between now and the end of June, feel free to update this page with your contributions. Thanks again! ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:20, 1 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Movilh marcha 1992.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Movilh marcha 1992.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:16, 3 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

LGBT history in Chile edit

Hi! I reverted your edit because all the information contained in that section was moved to the article LGBT history in Chile, because it's there where all that historical information belongs. Regards. --Sfs90 (talk) 04:44, 6 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

LGBT history in Chile during the 20th century is more than only the LGBT movement. Meanwhile, it may stay in both articles in order to be improved and arrange the information according to them.Fhebynes (talk) 05:23, 6 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
No. We don't have to duplicate the information in two articles. The information it's only a chronological part of the LGBT history in Chile, and therefore the information must be in their respective article. If you have some new (and different) information about the LGBT movement itself, without falling in historical backgrounds or data, it will be acceptable to be put under a "LGBT movement" section, but please don't duplicate the information from the "LGBT history in Chile" article in the "LGBT in Chile" one. Sorry. --Sfs90 (talk) 06:48, 6 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
Please don't revert editions without proper discussion about the issues. If you do that again I'll report you. Regards. --Sfs90 (talk) 15:39, 6 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for October 13 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of LGBT events, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Calama and La Serena. 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.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (second request) edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into Gender self-identification. 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. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 10:17, 17 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
