Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Hi Heanor! Thank you for your edits to Orthodoxy. It looks like you've copied or moved text from one or more pages into that page, and while you are welcome to re-use the content, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied 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. If you've copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 16:29, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Some baklava for you!

Hi thanks for creating Relatio de Legatione Constantinopolitana which I’ve just reviewed. Is it based partly on the article on another wiki? If so I need to add a translation template so the text is properly attributed. Mccapra (talk) 16:07, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

• Hi, Mccapra. Yes, it is partly a translation from Russian. Which translation template is needed? --Heanor (talk) 16:08, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

thanks I’ll add it now and you can adapt and use it any time you part-translate. All the best. Mccapra (talk) 16:09, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Rwanda, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page English. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Arab Israeli conflict

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Re List of sovereign states, the link works fine afaics, perhaps you included the edit comment bracket at the end. Also see United Nations General Assembly observers ("The practice is to distinguish between state and non-state observers. Non-member states are members of one or more specialized agencies, and can apply for permanent observer state status."). In any event this has all been discussed previously.Selfstudier (talk) 12:10, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

• @Selfstudier:, ok, I see now. Sorry for a confusion. I hope you have no objections to this clarification? --Heanor (talk) 12:22, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Dab links on Russian crisis

Thanks for creating Russian crisis however the "See also" section contains 3 links to disambiguation pages, and I wasn't sure what is intended. If you meant to link to the dab pages see WP:INTDAB, if not could you make the links go to the intended pages?— Rod ^talk 18:03, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Page and category moves

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved 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. Also please avoid the cut and paste moves your breaking attribution Megan B.... ^{It’s all coming to me} till the end of time 21:05, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

• Hello, @Synoman Barris:! I'm just doing the WP:BRD thing. I filed two move requests to revert your reverts. Please comment there. --Heanor (talk) 21:08, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

  No, that's no even an actual policy but a suggestion. Making a bold move on a long standing 20 year old title of an article is never uncontroversial. You also fixed alot of links leaving other editors to clean them up. I suggest you revert yourself and wait for the RM to end. Cheers Megan B.... ^{It’s all coming to me} till the end of time 21:16, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

  Hello Heanor. I'll second Megan in saying that while BRD is encouraged, moving the longstanding title of an article is a particularly visible and potentially disruptive change that should almost always be discussed. In this case, you changed the links in dozens of articles to match the new title, which is work that will now need to be undone while the move discussion is in progress. So it's not nearly as simple as reverting a single edit, which is the case that BRD is mainly concerned with. Rublov (talk) 21:21, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Echoing the sentiments of other editors here regarding your recent renaming campaign. Non-native speakers of English should be especially hesistant to make unilateral changes to names on the English Wikipedia. Eric ^talk 17:30, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Eric, which move find you problematic? Just to better understand what you mean. --Heanor (talk) 17:40, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Hauts-de-France, among others. "Upper France" would never be implemented as an official placename in English. Eric ^talk 18:22, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Russo-Ukrainian crisis to Russo-Ukrainian crisis (disambiguation) is another move that, while not necessarily wrong, should certainly have been discussed. Heanor, I urge you to act with more circumspection and stop unilaterally moving pages until you have more experience with the requested move process and can more accurately gauge whether a move could possibly be controversial or not. Rublov (talk) 18:55, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Rublov, about Russo-Ukrainian crisis to Russo-Ukrainian crisis (disambiguation) I just restored status quo. --Heanor (talk) 20:18, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Okay, I'm a bit confused by the edit history but since those are two recently-created, short pages, it's no big deal. Personally, I almost always go through the RM process, even when the change seems trivial (e.g., Ranter → Ranters), because I don't always get it right, and it's better to have a failed RM than to annoy a bunch of editors with an ill-conceived move.

I appreciate your willingness to learn; this is a step in the right direction, even if it doesn't go through. I hope to see you at RM in the future. Rublov (talk) 20:58, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Withdrawal of RfD nominations

Hi there, I noticed that you closed the RfD nomination you started, Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2022_February_11#Moqua_well, as well as some other RfD discussions you initiated in the past few weeks. While withdrawing your own nomination is usually acceptable, you should not do so after another user has commented and suggested a course of action other than keep, as in the above case. The problem here is that this can be viewed as an attempt to avoid an outcome you don't favor (e.g. you either favor deletion or keeping as is, but are against retargeting), even if this wasn't your intention or motive. I have reopened the above discussion, you are free to participate and revise your nomination if you no longer feel it should be deleted, or are opposed to other user's suggestions. Please see WP:WITHDRAWN for guidance on closing your own nominations. Also, when doing so in the future, they should either be closed as speedy keep or withdrawn and not just keep. Cheers, Mdewman6 (talk) 23:59, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

I see that you retargeted these as suggested right after you closed the discussion. In that case, I think the problem here is your use of XFDcloser (i.e. clicking on the "keep" button). When withdrawing nominations, you should do so manually by following the directions at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Administrator_instructions which allows you to specify an outcome like withdrawn or speedy keep or speedy retarget. In this case, the proper close would be speedy retarget. By closing as keep and then retargeting, it makes things very confusing in the edit history. That said, once you've started a discussion, even if the suggestion of the first commenter seems to you to be obviously the correct course of action, it might just be easier to leave the discussion open. Redirects can usually wait a week to be fixed without harming too much, or another user might come along and close it for you too earlier than that. Thanks for your efforts!

Some baklava for you!

Hi thanks for creating Cinema of Suriname which I’m just reviewing. It is a requirement that when we translate if re-use any material from another language wiki, we give proper attribution for copyright reasons. If you use material from another wiki you should say so in your first edit summary when you create a new article. There’s also a template that can go on the article talk page. I’ve added it for you. Happy editing! Mccapra (talk) 14:49, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (second request)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Eastern world into Eastern Culture. 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) 15:14, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

March 2022

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Eastern culture a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Eastern culture. (Well, technically Eastern Culture as it was titled at the time.) This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.

(It seems you copied the contents from Draft:Eastern culture to Eastern Culture (capital "C") to get around the edit protection on Eastern culture, but in the process bypassed the WP:AFC submission process for the draft. If the page wasn't moved via the WP:RM on Talk:Eastern culture, I would have reverted your cut-paste move as a blatant bypass of the recommendations to use the WP:AFC process to submit the draft or to submit Draft:Eastern culture [NOT Eastern Culture] for a formal WP:RM request.)

Finno-Ugric countries

Hi. I reverted your page move, because it was contradicted even for "Finno-Ugric" by the definition given in the lead (that there are just 3 such countries) as well as by the meaning of "Uralic", and did not correspond to the refs. I also reverted a lot of recent edits to the lead. Feel free to restore any improvement; the lead had become gibberish so I didn't spend much time trying to save anything. — kwami (talk) 01:27, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
