Disambiguation link notification for October 9 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Washington Avenue Immigration Station, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Britain. 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.

Virginia Tech College of Architecture and Urban Studies copyright problem edit

Your addition to the History section of the above article was very close to http://50years.caus.vt.edu/history/, a copyright web page. Copying text directly from a source is a copyright violation, even if you cite the source. You need to re-state things in your own words; simply changing a few words in a sentence is still a copyright violation if the structure of the sentence is preserved. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions or if you think I made a mistake. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:09, 3 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Ways to improve Oaks Cloister edit

Hi, I'm Mduvekot. Pajokie, thanks for creating Oaks Cloister!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The blog couturewindowfashions neither an independnet, nor a reliable source, and the weebly source provides minimal information. This article needs references to independent, reliable sources.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Lucy the Elephant edit

Hello, I noticed that you returned the Moulin Rouge! entry in the Lucy the Elephant article. Thanks for providing the reference; however, that source states that "the giant structure had been inspired by James V Lafferty’s “Elephantine Colossus”, a seven-story tourist attraction and hotel built on Coney Island in 1885" -- not Lucy. Frankly, referring to it as "Lucy-esque" is WP:OR. Note that the Elephantine Colossus article describes the connection to the film. —2606:A000:4C0C:E200:E03C:76AB:F34B:E35 (talk) 03:30, 18 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Bernard Lafferty (butler) edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Bernard Lafferty (butler) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://trustfundheir.com/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

June 2018 edit

  Hello. Your recent edit to Cardinal O'Hara High School (Springfield, Pennsylvania) appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. Meters (talk) 05:05, 16 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Cardinal O'Hara High School (Springfield, Pennsylvania). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Per WP:BRD it is up to you to discuss your edits on the talk page when they have been undone. I explained my deletions in my edit summaries. You should not have restored them. By undoing my edits without explanation you were calling my edits vandalism, which they certainly were not.

September 2019 edit

 

Your recent editing history at Bernard Lafferty shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
You and Oguhugo (talk · contribs) have been going back and forth. They're a new editor and I can understanding wanting to revert vandalism, but they're trying to contribute in good faith and a brand-new editor. Please try to set an example as the senior editor and use this as a platform for discussion, not the edit war you've been doing. Gwen Hope (talk) (contrib) 14:56, 8 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

November 2019 edit

  Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Kevin Jones (American football), as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Eagles 24/7 (C) 18:25, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry between Edward Redfield and Elmer Schofield into
a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania,
and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury
for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute; at which, despite Redfield's opposition, Across the
River
was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old
Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them. Schofield may have painted it
in England, but a blindsided Redfield knew that it was a view of the Delaware River, from his own front yard!
