National varieties of English edit

  Hello. In a recent edit to the page Papua conflict, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 02:49, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia and copyright edit

  Hello Wowzers122, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Nduma Defense of Congo-Renovated have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:29, 6 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for notifying me about that I plan on going back and rewriting it to paraphrase it better as well as cite my edits. Wowzers122 (talk) 22:36, 13 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Add proper sources and don't copy edit

Always source what you add and don't copy from sources. Many of your statements are mostly copied except for a few minor word alterations. LéKashmiriSocialiste (talk) 18:23, 2 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Sorry about that I will try to summarize my sources better. Wowzers122 (talk) 03:14, 3 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Here's a hint: read the source; hide the source; wait 60 seconds; write your summary in a text editor based on what you remember, without looking at the source: unless you've trained in raw memorisation, your wording will almost certainly differ from the source; after you've written your text, go back to the source and make corrections where your text is misleading or inaccurate, since it's likely that you mis-remembered some details. Boud (talk) 15:01, 19 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Somali Guardian edit

Please add any sources you can find about Somali Guardian at Talk:Timeline of the Tigray War#Somali Guardian. The claims made by the source are highly significant for the Tigray War, and so far, we don't have any third-party sources that either claim that the newspaper is serious or that it provides fake news. We don't even have the website's own claims about who runs it or who the chief editor is. Boud (talk) 16:38, 19 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Also on Map Ethiopia? edit

Are you the same person as Woofers who handles the Map Ethiopia twitter account? I can assist in relocating some of the photos and films displayed, as I know Tigray quite well. Jnyssen (talk) 05:29, 20 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Discretionary sanctions alert edit

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Horn of Africa (defined as including Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and adjoining areas if involved in related disputes). Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Speedy deletion of Draft:Houston County Career Academy edit

 

If this was the first article that you 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.

The page Draft:Houston County Career Academy has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://hcca.hcbe.net/abouttheschool. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been 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.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion ReviewDiannaa (talk) 23:52, 28 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Map legends edit

Hello. Just a thought re maps like this – it might be better to leave out the legend and instead put it in the caption section (like e.g. 2012 Senegalese presidential election), as this will ensure the text displays at a size that is legible to readers (the Algerian maps display at a size that is slightly too small for the legend to be legible (at least for me)). You can also add the legend to the description on commons so other language wikis can copy it across. Cheers, Number 57 21:08, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Number 57: First, I would like to say that out of respect, I have enlarged the legend on all the maps. However, I do believe that all of the previous maps (well maybe not the third one) were legible as they were on both mobile and PC (both of which are old and small), nor have I gotten a complaint about the legend from any of the people I've shown it to on my social medias. I try my best to make sure legends on my maps are legible and not too overly complicated or cluttery. Unfortunately, I am only human, and so my judgement is never perfect even then I don't understand why it would be so hard to increase the size of the map in the infobox (isn't that what makes SVGs so great?) or better yet, why can't a reader simply click on the image and enlarge it? The reason why I've moved away from legends in the caption recently (beyond it looking ugly in my opinion) is that people should be able to take and use the maps for whatever they want without having to add their own legend outside of Wikipedia. This isn't a theoretical either. I've seen my maps posted in the wild on social media and I've seen Wikipedia maps (not mine) used in papers. A smaller reason I don't like to use legends in the captions of my national maps is that some foreign wikis seem to be allergic to them. A clear example is that the captionless map of the 2023 Senegalese presidential election is used on english Wikipedia and other wikis but others use the captioned one.
