Deleting "scheduled to be..." in the past

I noticed that your edits have been removing the text about projects being "scheduled to be completed" in a past year. Please don't do that without researching each one to determine whether the completion date was met or was pushed out to the future. The articles should be updated, or you can apply Template:Update inline to such sentences. Schazjmd (talk) 23:38, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

April 2021

Hello, I'm JBchrch. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Kenneth C. Griffin, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! JBchrch (talk) 15:54, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello GloriaJFM! Your additions to Kareem Serageldin 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. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
• 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 in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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) 20:51, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

DMX

Why are you reverting my work? The Mad Hatter (talk)

Again: why are you reverting my work? Even if it's sourced, I moved all the references to the "Legal trouble", but why are you doing it? Being just a fangirl of DMX, doesn't give weight to the judgment. OK, I don't give a shit. I don't listen to hip-hop at all and I am doing just my job. You're just a newbie here and judging by your edits, they're non-significant at all. You only remove content and add not-sourced information. The Mad Hatter (talk)

Please edit in revertible chunks and add edit summaries

Hi, I am concerned by the way you are working and editing articles. You seem to make very significant changes to articles, but you very often do it:

1. in one very large edit that spawns an entire article,
2. that does not significantly change the bite-size of articles and
3. without adding edit summaries.

I have already raised the issue with you a few weeks ago at GameStop short squeeze here and here. Recent examples include Payment for order flow [1] and Bernie Madoff [2].

The problem is that the way you work does not provide transparency to other users and prevent them from reviewing your edits with the attention they probably require. As WP:EPTALK provides, you need to explain your changes and be cautious with major changes. According to WP:FIES, it is considered good practice to provide a summary for every edit. Moving forward, you really need to edit in revertible chunks and to WP:COMMUNICATE with your fellow editors. JBchrch (talk) 20:49, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

GloriaJFM, I see your edits at Payment for order flow [3][4] and I think that you are moving in the right direction. I would recommend that you shrink the size of your edits even more (e.g. one paragraph per edit) to match with other editors' practice. Thank you. JBchrch (talk) 21:01, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

GloriaJFM, thank you very much for your collaboration. In the future, it would be great if you could just drop a quick line on your talk page to acknowledge the discussion! Cheers. JBchrch (talk) 12:29, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
