Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited How to Fix a Drug Scandal, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Amherst. 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.)

Information icon Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. McSly (talk) 00:21, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@McSly: That's very vague. Please explain what you mean. Kiwimanic (talk) 00:23, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That change here was clearly not about "Remove uneccesary technical data from lede", but instead replacing the intro wit a completely different view on the cause of the crash. --McSly (talk) 03:34, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, you may be blocked from editing. WikiHannibal (talk) 11:44, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also to note for Kiwimanic, WP:ONUS. For the article's content, it would be better to discuss any changes on the article's talk page. – The Grid (talk) 14:35, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Guardian is a reliable source. The link you provided does not work. The final report was over 1,500 pages and does not seem to be avilable on the Wayback machine. So I am doubtful that you have read it and can say with any authority that the final report did not acknowledge “unlawful interference". The Guardian has a reputation for reliable reporting. I very much doubt they would make that claim if it wasn't in the report. Kiwimanic (talk) 07:50, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wrongful conviction of David Lyttle

[edit]

Hello my new friend. I hope you are fine. I have tagged this page as having a lead section that is far too long and detailed. It now essentially re-presents everything in the article itself. I could cut it back, but I thought I should give you an opportunity to do so. Keep up the good work on Wikipedia. Best wishes, BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 07:54, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The length guidelines you quote say "The leads in most featured articles contain about 250 to 400 words." The lead to this article contains 379 words. I don't see a problem. Kiwimanic (talk) 08:07, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mike White (journalist), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages North & South, Peter Ellis and Allan Hall.

You say I appear to have copied material from from https://ndhadeliver.natlib.govt.nz/webarchive/20180405200007/http://www.noted.co.nz/currently/crime/cannabis-farm-shaun-allens-25-year-battle-to-prove-his-innocence/
I cannot even access that page...nothing comes up when I click on the link you provided... Kiwimanic (talk) 15:53, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I get a message that says "ndhadeliver.natlib.govt.nz Additional security check is required. This service is temporarily unavailable due to maintenance or a problem, please try later" and below is a capcha box that says "I an human". When I verify that I am human by ticking the box, the page loads. It is an article titled "Cannabis farm: Shaun Allen's 25 year battle to prove his innocence" by Mark White, dated 7 March 2018. Diannaa (talk) 16:59, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Dianna, I am not an expert on Wiki copyright policy. However, I found a sentence under text copyright violations 101 which says: Identify with what edit the dubious content has been copy-pasted, and mention that on the article's talk page.
I don't see any mention of any concerns at all on the Talk page - so your approach seems rather drastic. Could you please post specific phrases, sentences, etc from the Draft which come directly from the article in the Natlib website - so I can get some sense of what you are concerned about. Kiwimanic (talk) 04:43, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The capcha prevents me from comparing the pages directly using Earwig's tool so I have temporarily pasted the content into a sandbox. You can now view the overlap here. Overlapping material is highlighted. Diannaa (talk) 13:19, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
