Survey about History on Wikipedia

I am Petros Apostolopoulos, a Ph.D. candidate in Public History at North Carolina State University. My Ph.D. project examines how historical knowledge is produced on Wikipedia. If you are interested in participating in my research study by offering your own experience of writing about history on Wikipedia, you can click on this link https://ncsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9z4wmR1cIp0qBH8. There are minimal risks involved in this research.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Petros Apostolopoulos, paposto@ncsu.edu Apolo1991 (talk) 11:31, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

December 2021

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Added note, it appears you may be signing your posts manually, and of that is so, using either the signature button or the four tildes is much easier and, more accurate; it will not leave any typos in your name or leave out the time. - wolf 22:17, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Some baklava for you!

Hi thanks for creating German fleet tender Tanga which I’ve just reviewed. When you translate from another wiki it is a requirement, for copyright reasons, to attribute the text properly. Please see WP:HOWTRANS. I’ve added a translation template to the article talk page for you. Happy editing! Mccapra (talk) 06:53, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Ottoman destroyer Gayret-i Vatâniye moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Ottoman destroyer Gayret-i Vatâniye, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) 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.

Your draft article, Draft:Palten (river)

Hello, Browhatwhyamihere. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Palten".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Ottoman cruiser Lütf-ü Hümayun

Hi there.

Your article Ottoman cruiser Lütf-ü Hümayun appears to be substantially similar to the same page on the Turkish Wikipedia, and I’m inclined to believe that you translated the page. There’s nothing wrong with translating a page, but do know, that Help:Translation requires that we leave an edit summary that mentions the parent article for legal reasons. In the future, please do leave a notice for when you translate another page. Thank you, The Night Watch (talk) 16:48, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Translating pages is what I do, and also thanks for the reminder!
