Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links as long as the content abides by our policies and guidelines.

Hello - in response to your message on my talk page, the "References" section is intended for sources of information that were/are used to write the article. Furthermore, the link in question dumps the reader off to a commercial offering at the end of the page, which is generally frowned upon here. I hope this explains the reason for my removal of the link. --AbsolutDan (talk) 02:14, 23 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

June 2011 edit

  Your addition to Ra has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. In a addition, this was what we call original research - see WP:NOR as the book reerenced, or at least the page referenced, doesn't mention Ra. We also should not use words that suggest the biblical accounts were actual history Dougweller (talk) 20:02, 27 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Solar cooker, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. These weren't minor edits [1] Dougweller (talk) 20:55, 28 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Fair use edit

How did you find that subpage? I don't think I even knew it existed. Anyway, fair use is a bit tricky. Read Wikipedia:Non-free content. One problem is that we have over three million articles, so a quote used many times raises the question of whether it is fair use. A short quote in an article, in quotation marks, with inline citation - see WP:CITE including page number, is fine. Several quotes from the same source, probably not. You also need to understand that we are pretty strict about paraphrase. See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing - don't take the bit about it not being policy too seriously, close paraphrase gets deleted and editors who ignore it do it at their own risk. I'm not suggesting you would do that of course. If you have questions about specific edits please use my talk page, not that subpage which I think I'll delete.

2010 Flash Crash edit

Your personal assessment of the market is more than likely accurate. However, being your own view, not supported by any external sources, it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Owen× 17:50, 29 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.

Edits to History of climate change science edit

I read with interest your content re "greenhouse" terminology. However, the content seems to be two or three times as long as it should be, in the context of the entire history of climate change science. It reads like an essay, not encyclopedic content. I suggest you pare it down dramatically to state what the (mis)understanding is, and why it's a misunderstanding. Every "impact" of that misunderstanding is not really appropriate in that article. I hope this saves you some work. —RCraig09 (talk) 19:42, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
