• • sorry. just putting the school as it is in front and putting the history second like St Kevin's College, Oamaru for example. I do not intend to be disruptive. I am improving it.Yelsorc (talk) 02:26, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Happy editing!

I'm not sure why you are getting such a response to your edits at St Peter's College, but I suggest that you post suggestions for changes to the article on its talk page Talk:St Peter's College, Auckland, and wait a week before making the changes. If you get opposition on the talk page, try to reach consensus, and if that doesn't work, then find some other article to improve.

Also, with every edit you make, please leave an edit summary explaining your intention.-gadfium 03:25, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Yelsorc! Your additions to St Ignatius of Loyola Catholic College, Drury 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. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• 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 either 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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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) 22:47, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tony Kokshoorn, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ruru. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

New articles

Kia ora Yelsorc, thanks for writing an article for Kevin Brady. That's much appreciated. I see you are a new user and there's tons to learn. It's hugely frustrating when your work gets put up for deletion but it won't happen with Brady (and if it does, it will easily survive as he's clearly notable). There are a few things to know when writing new articles. Here's a non-comprehensive list:

• Add links to the new page from as many other articles as is possible (you linked from St Kevin's College, Oamaru only but there were of course other suitable candidate articles).
• When you need to disambiguate, have a look at other articles that are in the same categories to get a feel for typical disambiguators (I have moved the article to straighten that out).
• The other thing that needs doing if an article requires a disambiguator is to link it from the base name (i.e. Kevin Brady). As there was already another Kevin Brady linked from there (the footballer), that justifies the need to have a disambiguation page. I've dealt with it.

That's of course a lot to know and this might be well beyond you. If you need a hand or want anything checked, head over to my talk page and leave a note. Or send me a ping from whichever talk page is most appropriate to ask about a specific topic. All the best and happy editing. Schwede66 00:04, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
