Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Bombing of the Bezuidenhout into another page. 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. DanCherek (talk) 05:01, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Please stick to the sources edit

Hi, YukiKoKo, and welcome to Wikipedia. I reverted your edit at Reynard the Fox because you substituted your own opinion of what the correct translation should be for a 13th century Dutch poem, over what the reliable source cited in the article says. This is WP:Original research, and it is prohibited. Please rely on what the sources say, *even* if you think the source is completely wrong. (In the latter case, you could try to find another source that you consider more reliable, and use that instead. Or, you could raise a discussion at the WP:Reliable sources noticeboard and try to have that source declared unreliable. (I don't recommend that; this author appears to be an expert in medieval Dutch.) What you cannot do, is just decide, on your own, that some reliably sourced information is wrong, and just change it on your own. Finally, you mentioned Wiktionary in your edit summary; Wiktionary is not a reliable source, and neither Wiktionary nor Wikipedia may be used as a reference for any article content at Wikipedia; you should rely primarily on WP:INDEPENDENT, WP:SECONDARY sources for all content you wish to add or change. If you have any questions, feel free to reply below, or contact me on my Talk page anytime. Thanks, and once again, welcome! Mathglot (talk) 21:09, 8 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

April 2023 edit

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Sphynx cat, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. The cited sources do not say that breeding Sphynx cats is banned.

Tortoiseshell cat edit

Most of your changes at that article had to be reverted, because they consisted of:

  • Addition of unsourced claims, including veterinary medical/genetic ones.
  • Much worse, drastically changing the material cited to a specific source, making it appear as though the source says not what it was originally cited for but what your very different new version said. That is blatant source falsification.
  • Unexplained changes to images (try proposing changes on the talk page of the article).
  • Misuse of the |alt= parameter of an image. It is for providing a description of the image for sight-impaired users, not for repeating the information in the caption.

If you believe that the changes you want to make are correct, then you need to find and cite reliable sources for them.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  14:45, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Not a blog edit

Please do not add highly opinionated claims, such as that something is "unethical", to Wikipedia articles, as you did at Congenital sensorineural deafness in cats. Wikipedia is not your personal blog. Our material, per clear policies, has to be presented in studiously neutral language, based on the consensus of reliable sources, and without the original research of editors making up their own judgmental interpretations of the material.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  19:13, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia and copyright edit

  Hello YukiKoKo! Your additions to Congenital sensorineural deafness in cats 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. Please 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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 21:03, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Link formatting of plurals and such edit

The proper formatting for something like

... immune response in [[Cat|cats]] to ...

is

... immune response in [[cat]]s to ...
