Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Yelps! Your additions to Fenimorea abscondita 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, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § Licensing.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Diannaa (talk) 15:20, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

that was copyrighted content? My bad, didn't know it was copyrighted. I'll try to improve and see my sources properly when making later edits. Thank you.Yelps (talk) 17:10, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not a lot

You don't really have a lot of userboxes. You should see my user-page! Leonardo da vin :D (talk|contrib.) 16:33, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still adding them, it's a work in progress, planning to add more "joke" userboxes and statistics userboxes. And you have all those userboxes because you actively make more, right? Yelps (talk) 16:44, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, @Yelps! I suggest looking into any userbox galleries to find more. Or you can look into my userboxes at User:Leonardo da vin/Userboxes, or you can learn to make some at WP:UBX and then make them at WP:UBXM. Leonardo da vin :D (talk|contrib.) 16:09, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, editing at Wikipedia is about creating an encyclopedia, not spending a lot of time dressing up User pages. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:41, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Spooky Month moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Spooky Month, is not suitable 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. CUPIDICAE❤️ 19:07, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

actually, I think it's best if the page simply was deleted instead, I made the page because simple English wikipedia apparently had a page on it. But right after I made that, I learned about WP:BFDI and saw that spooky month basically fits all the points the essay had on BFDI not on wikipedia, oops!

Speed deletions

Hello Yelps! I noticed that you had tagged Monika vs FNAF!? for speedy deletion. While I do agree that the article is unfit for Wikipedia, the criteria for speedy deletion are strict and well-defined, and your reason for tagging the article was not among them. Hence, I have removed the tagging from the page. The page, as it stands, does meet the criterion A7 (no indication of significance: web content); but the article cannot yet be tagged for it since earlier discussions between Wikipedia users have determined that newly-made articles (under one hour old) should not be tagged for deletion under A7 (and some other speedy deletion criteria) to give the article author a chance to improve on the page. I urge you to go through the speedy deletion policy and understand the criteria before engaging in further taggings. Thank you, and happy editing! Java Hurricane 15:06, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I perfectly know that, just was in a hurry and couldn't type the entire thing. Sorry! Yelps :) talk 15:30, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Yelps, just wanted to let you know that your signature doesn't link to your talk page- assuming that's a error. Best, Sarsenet•he/they•(talk) 01:52, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for pointing that out, seems like I forgot to put a single bracket. But now my signature is unnaturally dark on my talk page while it is perfectly fine on other talk pages... Yelps :/ critique me 05:40, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That typically happens with custom signatures for some reason- it changes color/darkens like after you click on a link elsewhere on WP. I'm not a signature expert, maybe ask at Wikipedia talk:Signature tutorial or the Teahouse? Sarsenet•he/they•(talk) 11:01, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

this is verbatim copy, the book is public domain but the translation likely isn't.

Diffs like this and this are incredibly close paraphrasing. The latter is at least CC licensed, but there is no attribution.

If you don't know if something is copyrighted, you should not be pasting it into a Wikipedia article. REAL_MOUSE_IRL talk 11:19, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello mouse, if that's copyrighted, then you might want to check out my oldest contribs where I was particularly active in expanding gastropod articles, I fear I might have a lot of copyvio edits on my name (don't block me for that tho, I was new at that time and I have changed). Since I got two copyright warnings now, i'll stop adding anything on gastropod pages, I don't edit them often now anyways. Thanks. Yelps ᘛ⁠⁐̤⁠ᕐ⁠ᐷ critique me

Still waiting to get a proper barnstar, that is, getting a barnstar that is not just for me doing a specific task

Hello

First of all, why did you decide to randomly check out my creations? Second of all, why were you so impressed with my work-rate on Spanish football biographies?

To answer your question, I have created nearly 1,000 biographies, 90% about Spanish and French footballers, including +400 starts, +300 Cs, +100 Bs, and only a meager 20 stubs.

This is the first time that I'm actually hearing about WP:AUTOPATROLLED, but I'm afraid it is too late for me now. I have too many skeletons in my closet. Not to mention that some of my articles have SIGCOV issues, and I already got some sporadic copyright warnings.

But if you enjoy my work so much, you can always give me a star (wink wink). Kind regards. Luis7M (talk) 05:15, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm a talk page stalker of sorts (WP:JAGUAR), so I learned about how you made more than 1000 articles through your talk page messages. Plus, creating that many articles is an impressive feat so I had to be impressed. If you don't want to have the right, that's fine! I guess I'll give you a star (wink wink) Yelps ᘛ⁠⁐̤⁠ᕐ⁠ᐷ critique me 05:29, 7 June 2025 (UTC) I'll not expect anything in return, but would be appreciated anyways[reply]

Indrāni Parish

Hi, just wanted to clarify the problem that has risen around the article about Indrāni Parish, Latvia (Indrānu pagasts). The original name of the article was Indrāni Parish, which was perfect, but then user User:Onel5969 made a translation error while navigating Latvian grammar and redirected (not moved) it to Indrān Parish, which is incorrect. As it was impossible for me to move the page back to the normal name, I moved it to Indrāni Parish, Latvia at least for now. Since you reverted the deletion of the redirect, maybe you can help me move the page to Indrāni Parish and fix this once and for all? Ivario (talk) 13:25, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, so that was what's happening? Sounds like a complicated case. Sorry though, that needs administrator attention to delete the bad redirect and move the article back to its original name without leaving a redirect. I'm far from being an admin and don't want to be one. There's no clear-cut speedy deletion tags for cases like this (the closest would be WP:R3, but no one without provided context would say it's implausible). And since admins wouldn't potentially know about the context, they'll likely decline the speedy deletion request. So, maybe write a custom speedy deletion tag using Template:Db and provide all necessary context? That'll hopefully do it. Yelps ᘛ⁠⁐̤⁠ᕐ⁠ᐷ critique me 13:50, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the mistake. I've moved it back to its original title. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:34, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for The Old Elm

On 12 June 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Old Elm, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that The Old Elm was used by the Ottoman Turks to hang captured hajduci? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Old Elm. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, The Old Elm), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

A barnstar for you!

	The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
	Thank you SO much for signing my guestbook. Unironically, there is a gator who lives in a creek near my house. I randomly named him Rodrick like the character from Diary of a Wimpy because his back is spiky like Rodrick's hair. I'm currently in Mississippi but last time I checked, he was doing just fine! :) TheFloridaMan (talk) 03:49, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's so cool! Though I think all gators have spiky backs, so all of them would be named Rodrick. Have you ever fed Rodrick though? :) Yelps ᘛ⁠⁐̤⁠ᕐ⁠ᐷ critique me 08:49, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
