Welcome!

Hello, Francofonné, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Trabant nT did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask a question on your talk page. Again, welcome.  Jmertel23 (talk) 14:00, 4 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Trabant nT moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Trabant nT, does not have enough sources and citations 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.

  Hello Francofonné, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Garfield Originals 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • 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 the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • 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 in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. AussieLegend () 18:13, 8 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Please note that your edits to Garfield Originals, in addition to the addition of copyright violations included other undesirable/unnecessary changes such as the conversion of formatted reference to an unformatted style and conversion of the standard form of episode table used on the English Wikipedia to a raw table. Please do not do this again. --AussieLegend () 18:17, 8 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Draftification of Draft:Scrap Mechanic

edit

Article was unsourced on creation, and if I hadn't moved it, it would probably have been deleted. It can now be accessed and edited in Draft:Scrap Mechanic. --MoonyTheDwarf (Braden N.) (talk) 20:18, 10 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of OviLex

edit

Hello Francofonné, it appears your article on OviLex is the exact same article as the article that was deleted through a deletion discussion a year ago. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion so I've added a deletion tag to it.

If you happen to be the same user as Raphael.concorde (the article's previous author), you may want to read our rules for using multiple accounts and declare so on your userpage. If you ever have any questions, come ask at the Teahouse

Sources

edit

Hi, it is best not to use press releases as sources. The best sources are independant sources containing significant coverage of the subject. Our articles need to demonstrate how the subject is notable enough for inclusion, and citing multiple independant sources is a good way to demonstrate notability. – Thjarkur (talk) 18:19, 11 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Replying to Talk:OviLex

edit

If you find great sources about OviLex that demonstrate clearly that the arguments presented in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/OviLex no longer apply, you can recreate the article although I would suggest submitting through WP:AFC. However, such sources do not seem to exist and the company doesn't seem to pass WP:NCORP. – Thjarkur (talk) 18:22, 11 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

I found some... Francofonné (talk) 18:34, 11 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
The articles on Ziarul Financiar are only press releases (so they are not independant coverage). The majority of short articles about companies and their numbers are only press releases, and they don't demonstrate notability. – Thjarkur (talk) 18:37, 11 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Your addition to Dacia Dokker has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. One more and I will have you blocked. 💴Money💶💵emoji💷Talk💸Help out at CCI! 12:32, 15 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

I have reverted your inappropriate move of Draft:Yabba Dabba-Dinosaurs! to Yabba Dabba-Dinosaurs! as the draft is very clearly not ready for publishing to article space. Drafts are only moved once they meet the requirements for mainspace articles, primarily notability and verifiability. When you think the article is finally ready to be published, submit it for review but you should not move it yourself. --AussieLegend () 15:48, 15 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Miaunel and Bălănel, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. LakesideMinersCome Talk To Me! 16:46, 15 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. There is a long list of warnings on your talk page, several of them repeated multiple times, including notifications about copyright violations. None of these warnings have received any comment or acknowledgment from you, and you continue to repeat these actions. Please, take a deep breath, read the warnings and linked policies, and feel free to ask questions. But you need to make an effort to heed the issues other editors are bringing up. -- ferret (talk) 17:33, 15 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Please stop performing page moves. You have made several inappropriate page moves that disrupt the history and attribution of pages. You can leave requests for page moves on talk pages, and your drafts will be moved for you after submitting to AFC. -- ferret (talk) 22:15, 15 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  -- ferret (talk) 23:35, 15 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Money emoji: As info, as you've also left some "last warnings" here. The block was placed for moving a redirect with long history to Draft, then recreating it, after having been warned just above. I've had to undo multiple such moves and I saw a couple other histmerges caused by the editor's contributions. -- ferret (talk) 23:38, 15 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
