Hello, I'm Cassiopeia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Glendale, California, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Cassiopeia talk 00:55, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

I will re-add the additional information with sources.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Glendale–Burbank Line into Glendale, California. 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) 12:59, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Pink Armenia moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Pink Armenia, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. Right now you have one.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:22, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello SGJ1991! Your additions to GALAS LGBTQ+ Armenian Society 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. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• 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. Please 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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 00:05, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

History of Armenian Americans in Los Angeles

This would make a very good featured article, when you're finished added material, you should submit the article to the WP:GOCE and prepare it for a Good article nomination, and then a featured article nomination. They will really examine the refs, so that is something that should take special attention. Greetings from a fellow (I presume) Angeleno  // Timothy :: talk  07:00, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you!

- Fellow Angeleno SGJ1991 (talk) 19:22, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

I did notice the significant changes you made, and am concerned about some of them. I'll review and add them to the Talk page for the article. SGJ1991 (talk) 19:31, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Here is my advice (for whatever its worth, forgive if you are aware of these, I'm assuming from the number of edits you've made your newish)

• If you look at similar wikipedia articles, only look at those that have been rated as "Good", "A", or "Featured", these articles have been reviewed by the community. Things may have changed, but you will have better luck seeing good examples on those articles. Others may or may not be good examples. Nothing is worse than using a bad example as a model.
• Everything that isn't an objective fact and obviously true to someone unfamiliar with the topic should have a reference. Anything without a reference can be deleted.
• Avoid anything that looks promotional. Lists of non-notable organizations, businesses, etc should be avoided. I know how hard it is not to be a booster for my community, because Los Angeles is obviously far and away the greatest place in the world that has ever existed and everyone should know everything about it ;)
• Unless you are sure a subject is notable do not redlink it. An easy way to tell if you should redlink something is can you place two references (and everything should be referenced) for the item from WP:Independent WP:RS with WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. Sources that have a connection to the subject do not show notability. If you can place two sources that meet this criteria, then either you or someone else will be able to create an article from the redlink. Other redlinks just go stale.
• Avoid any subjective words such as "great", "best", "bad"; you want concise, encyclopedic content, with a neutral tone. MOS:PEACOCK, WP:NPOV
• Not everything about a subject is encyclopedic content, even if you have a reference for it, see WP:WEIGHT
• Links in articles to this page will help it get read; when you link to a page from the article think if there is a way to place a link in that article to this page. Don't force it, but if it fits definitely place it.
• Also check out Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout, MOS:OVERSECTION, WP:LEAD.
• Your writing is better than mine, but I find Grammarly to be very helpful, you may as well. Zotero is also very helpful for managing references (make sure to download the Wikipedia citation templates). I try and add tools I find helpful here User:TimothyBlue#Free tools for editing Wikipedia
• Also you might be interested in Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library, tons of databases and research sites are available for free, such as ProQuest, Newspaper Archive.com, JSTOR.

On a related note, I started to look for sources to create Armenian Genocide Memorial (Los Angeles), but got sidetracked.[1]. Its doubtful I will return to it, so if you want to research and write the article, feel free. The article would probably be 3-5 paragraphs + lead.

Hope some of the above helps, I'm sure you already knew much of it.  // Timothy :: talk  20:59, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Anthony Portantino visits GALAS' booth at the 2014 San Gabriel Valley Pride event.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Anthony Portantino visits GALAS' booth at the 2014 San Gabriel Valley Pride event.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.
