Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 2011 Cricket World Cup into History of the ICC Cricket World Cup. 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) 13:54, 30 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Diannaa: Thank you for letting me know about this. I was not aware of this policy as I have just recently started editing on Wikipedia. Thanks for adding the edit summary to the History of the ICC Cricket World Cup article. I will keep this in mind for any future copying within Wikipedia -- Raps19 (talk) 22:38, 19 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

August 2020 edit

  This is your only warning; if you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, as you did at Triphala, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. On Wikipedia, Ayurveda is considered quackery, and links to its supposed benefits are spam. Don't perpetuate content and sources as you did at the Triphala article, or you may be blocked from editing. Zefr (talk) 16:08, 19 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Zefr: Sorry for adding a spam link to the Triphala article. As I am new to Wikipedia, this is the first time I have edited any medicine-related article and was not aware that Ayurveda is considered quackery. I will be sure to not make these types of edits in the future and will refrain from editing articles dealing with Ayurveda. Raps19 (talk) 22:36, 19 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Cricket infobox teams edit

Hello. The cricketer infobox is reserved for teams a player has actually made a top-level appearance for. Please stop adding teams that someone hasn't played for. Thank you. Blue Square Thing (talk) 07:59, 12 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Blue Square Thing: I have not added a team to any player's infobox, just their article. There are random users who have edited information to the info box which I have not reverted. I don't know what this message refers to. Raps19 (talk) 08:08, 12 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Ah, I think your edits got mixed up with an IP doing this. Sorry. Can I ask one think though: no one outside India either knows what a crore is or really gives a damn how much they were sold for. Unless it's the most ever, for example, please don't add that information. In fact, please remove it.
Apologies again. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:13, 12 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Got it! No problem. Was just confused as to what you were referring to. Raps19 (talk) 08:14, 12 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
