Unauthorized edits without any citations

edit

Hello, I noticed that you have recently made numerous changes to articles such as , Gwanda and KweKwe, promoting separatism in articles concerning the country of Zimbabwe but you didn't provide a reliable source. While wikipedia is encourage different viewpoints you cannot promote fringe ideas based on your own editorializing and without a reliable source. The content on both pages has been removed and archived in the page history for now, and you'd like to include a reputable citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 71.241.232.213 (talk) 15:11, 13 October 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.241.232.213 (talk)

  Hello, I'm Sjö. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Bulawayo, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Your edits at List of active separatist movements in Africa and at Mthwakazi were also unsourced and they didn't follow Wikipedias policy on neutral point of view. Sjö (talk) 07:51, 30 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Antelope Mine, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Sjö (talk) 08:45, 30 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Mcebisi Ndebele Ka Jesu/sandbox

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 User:Mcebisi Ndebele Ka Jesu/sandbox 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.facebook.com/permalink.php?id=225802504851575&story_fbid=232204474211378. 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.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Gukurahundi into several other pages. 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. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 15:01, 23 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Recent edit reversion

edit

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.S Philbrick(Talk) 12:11, 24 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Mthwakazi Republic Party, you may be blocked from editing. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:37, 24 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Mthwakazi Republic Party. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:42, 24 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Mthwakazi Republic Party. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Stating that the party is "misquoted by media in Zimbabwe" is biased. Please stop promoting this topic with biased edits. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:21, 25 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Mqondisi Moyo. This edit was a link to articles published about Moyo; it was not an inline citation supporting the edit. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:36, 25 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

You seem to have a genuine interest in improving Wikipedia, but you need to completely stop adding content without a source, and more importantly, you need to be responsive when other editors raise concerns on your talk page. This block is for 31 hours, but if you do not address the problems I just described, your next block is likely to be much longer. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:42, 25 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia. With this edit you removed a "citation needed" tag, and added a source which did not support the text. With this edit you added a birth date to a biography of a living person, though it was not supported by the source cited. @Vanamonde93: Magnolia677 (talk) 15:31, 27 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hakunaa moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Hakunaa, 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.   // Timothy :: talk  07:35, 2 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Mthwakazi Republic Party have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 12:52, 22 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
