Speedy deletion nomination of File:Thundra 1.jpg edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:Thundra 1.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — 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.

Copying licensed material requires attribution edit

It appears that you have added material to the article List of Metal Men members using content from https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/DC_Comics_Database. While you are welcome to re-use licensed content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original author(s). When copying from other compatibly-licensed web pages, please at minimum mention in an edit summary at the new page where you got the content. It's also a good idea to place a note on the article along with your citation. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied licensed material before, even if it was a long time ago, please go back and provide attribution. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:54, 6 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

I did the best I could with what I had; I'm having trouble putting it into my own words. But I intend to work on it. If you have anything to help me with I would appreciate it. Mattmurdock95 (talk) 8:00 am 8 April 2019 (UTC)

List of Omega Men enemies moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, List of Omega Men enemies, 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.

About List of Omega Men enemies edit

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give List of Omega Men enemies a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. –eggofreason(talk · contribs) 15:08, 12 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

January 2022 edit

  Hello, I'm ZimZalaBim. I noticed that you recently removed content from Hulk without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Unsourced statements edit

Hi, you continue to restore your unsourced opinions to the articles Drusilla (DC Comics) and Wonder Girl regarding the connection between the minor comics character and the TV series character portrayed by Debra Winger. The characters may share a name, but you have introduced no WP:Reliable sources that establish that one character is based on the other, as you've stated in the article. Making a statement without sources is considered editor POV, which is unacceptable. I'm going to formally ask you to stop restoring this information to these articles until you can come up with a proper source. continuing this behavior will bring further warnings that can eventually limit your editing abilities. Please let me know if you have further questions or need any help at all. Thanks.— TAnthonyTalk 23:53, 27 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Pocahontas, without citing a reliable source.

Where two versions of history exist, one of them written down near the event and the other transmitted oraly in an unknown number of stages over a long period, the oldest written version is generally preferred over an oral tradition recently committed to writing. You have reintroduced content previously removed as unreliably sourced. Please stop trying to reinstate the same material with no justification either in an edit summary or on the article talk-page. Doing so can lead to your being blocked from editing. Thank you. Haploidavey (talk) 14:33, 24 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
