Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 1930–45 in Western fashion into 1930s. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. 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) 13:16, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Sagit Sol moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sagit Sol, 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.

List of Moshavim - get rid of "comments" column in table

ahalan.

suggestion: when you have a really long table, with an almost empty column "Comments", it makes sense to nix this column, and add the few comments as footnotes for the relevant entries. this not only "makes sense" - its customary. e.g., see first "list" article i found that demonstrate - List of highest-grossing films. (hint: removing a column is tedious in wikisource editor, and a breeze with visual editor).

peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 22:07, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

קיפודנחש... I understand you believe that having such a column is redundant since we haven't filled it with information AS OF YET.... nevertheless... in my opinion, such an article wouldn't be complete without having such a column which would contain additional info about each moshav... just like we did here. WikiJunkie (talk) 11:53, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

it's not a question of information content - i did not suggest to nix the comments, only how to arrange it.

the problem (or one of them) with really long tables, is that you soon lose the "titles" line. for this reason, it's preferable to (a) minimize the # of cols, and (b) try to avoid sparsely populated columns: with populated cols, the reader can infer the meaning of a col from the content, usually, which is not true for sparsely populated cols.

again, the suggestion (as demonstrated in the list i linked above) is to use "footnotes" structure for the "comments" (often called "remarks"): enwiki actually has a mechanism for this purpose, using {{ref}}, {{note}}, {{refbegin}}, and {{refend}}. again, look at the article i pointed to, and see how the "notes" are arranged below each table, or look to see other "list" articles - you'll see that what i suggest is the rule, not the exception.

it is true that this is _not_ the norm in hewiki, and i'm not suggesting we should make it the norm. OTOH, hewiki tends to balk at "list" articles, so this is less important there.

Your draft article, Draft:Sagit Sol

Hello, WikiJunkie. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Sagit Sol".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. CptViraj (📧) 07:39, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Notice, re: machine translation and temporary edits

Hi WikiJunkie. Please never ever do this again. You actually forgot to revert that one, and it's an inappropriate edit regardless. If there is a machine translation tool that requires you to do that for it to work, then the tool has a problem that needs to be fixed, and you still shouldn't make such an edit to an article. I can see that you've done a lot of this in the past, and it needs to stop. Thank you. Someguy1221 (talk) 03:52, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
