Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Battle of Parker's Ferry 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:Battle of Parker's Ferry 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 https://www.carolana.com/SC/Revolution/revolution_parkers_ferry_2.html. 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 deleted 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.

Disambiguation link notification for July 29 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of guerrillas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Glover (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:59, 29 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

I see the problem. Because there is more than one John Glover. I will fix the problem and make sure clicking on it leads to the guerrilla John Glover. Ajack87

I see the problem. I will fix it. Thank you for the heads up. (User talk:Ajack87)

It looks like somebody fixed the problem already. I was about to fix it and make sure that when the Native Americans faction is clicked on, it would lead to the Native Americans living in America. But somebody else fixed it. I thank the person who fixed the disambiguation page Native Americans very much.

This is Ajack87, I just wanted to add some links so people don't get confused and can click on the links of NVA, Marines, or Claymores in case they want to know what or who they are. I hope that was okay.

I corrected and fixed the error. (User talk:Ajack87)

Hi, this is Ajack87. I was just on the list of raids page on Wikipedia to add some raid operations. And I don't know what happened. But some information for the Mongolian raids into Lithuania are missing in the result section. I don't know if I accidently deleted anything, or someone else might have done it, or someone is adding something. I tried to find information for the Second Mongolian invasion into Lithuania to fix it. But I can't find anything. If I caused any mishap, I apologize. I am so sorry if I caused any damage. (User talk: Ajack87)

Hi, this is Ajack87. I was on the list of guerrillas in Wikipedia. I placed Jose Mariano Salas under the Mexican faction in the Mexican American war in the United States of America section. There is the list of Americans who used unconventional tactics and the list of Mexicans who used guerrilla tactics. I placed a link next to Jose Mariano Salas with the U.S. Army Campaigns of the Mexican War PDF as the link source. But as I put my cursor on the link, it says I need a website link. But the PDF U.S. Army Campaigns of the Mexican War only has this https://history.army.mil/html/books/073/73-3/CMH_Pub_73-3.pdf at the top. There seems to be no other website link. Can somebody help me source it's link better. I really would appreciate it. I'm sorry if I caused any mishap.

Hi,this is Ajack87. I'm on the wiki page Military Deception. I wrote an article for battle of Lundy's Lane on the wiki page Military deception. I wrote a source following the web citing source format. And when sources are cite, it turns into a little number and is in the source reference section. I followed the format citation exactly. But it doesn't turn into a little number and go to the reference section, it's a long sentence of it's name, author, and publishing right in the battle of lundy's lane section making it look awkward. I would really appreciate it if someone can help me fix this citation properly. Is there anyone who can help with my citation and fix it?

December 2021 edit

  Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Militia (United States). You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:25, 7 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

7th SFG edit

In this edit, it appears you tried to add a source located ib your computer instead of the internet (see: {{file:///C:/Users/dylee/Downloads/p16040coll7_35%20(1).pdf). In this edit, I've attempted to correct this issue, but I would ask that you review these edits, as well as any previous edits you've made, that add sourcing, to ensure the same error has not been made. Thank you - wolf 15:32, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Citation style edit

I have reverted your recent edits on the Battle of Fort Oswego (1814). I have done so for several reasons, including poor grammar (incomplete sentences, dangling participles), POV tone, repetition and removal of cited information. However, I have noted some of these errors as "unsalvageable" because much of the added text is a soup of repeated references including long urls. When using a named reference, it is not necessary to repeat the full reference; indeed, this is the main reason for using named cites. Please refer to WP:REFNAME for guidance.

Wikipedia and copyright edit

  Hello Ajack87! Your additions to United States Rangers in the War of 1812 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. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 18:21, 20 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (second request) edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from United States Rangers in the War of 1812 into Nathan Boone. 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) 15:18, 21 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

April 2023 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to United States Army Rangers, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources.
Note: Please also try to avoid duplicate links. Thank you
