Recent edit to I before E except after C edit

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, I before E except after C, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Short descriptions edit

Hi, the idea behind short descriptions is to give a brief overall view of the article's subject. In Cockburn's case being a Washington editor is ephemeral, plus it simply repeats what is in the Top.

Better to have an overview. Peter NYC (talk) 20:33, 8 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Being president of the United States is an ephemeral characteristic of Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. But it's a lot more significant and informative than where they were born. Bellevue WA

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution edit

  Hi ThinkerFeeler! Thank you for your edits to John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories. It looks like you've copied or moved text from David Talbot 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) 05:16, 8 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

I did do that at first but then later revised what I wrote so that now it's not copied. ThinkerFeeler (talk) 05:23, 8 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
Although I see, now that the last two sentences are copied. I'll try to add attribution. Thanks. ThinkerFeeler (talk) 05:26, 8 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
In this case, I have already done so for you in the edit summary of this diff, so this was just a heads up for any future instances of copying. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, DanCherek (talk) 05:28, 8 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
