Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Forum for Democracy, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Added new content is not a minor edit. At least two other editors have also told you about improperly using them, and so please avoid that in the future. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 22:40, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Bkissin (talk) 21:06, 2 November 2021 (UTC)Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (2nd request)
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Conservative Party (UK) into Euroscepticism. 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) 04:00, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
November 2021
I have reverted your edits to Euroscepticism because
- you have changed existing material (that was properly cited) but retained the pre-existing citations so that it appears that they support your new material when they do not. This is regarded as wp:disruptive editing.
- you have added new material without providing citations to support it. You know that this topic is a controversial one and that citations are essential.
You have been around here long enough to appreciate that you should not have done either of these errors. Feel free to reinstate your changes when (and only when) you have citations to support them. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:13, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.
Mccapra (talk) 13:01, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
Some stroopwafels for you!
Hi thanks for creating Lennart van der Linden which I’ve just reviewed. When you use material from another wiki you must add a translation template to the talk page. I’ve done this for you and you can use the same template format for for future articles. You can also add project template to the talk page as I have done to bring more eyes onto the article quickly. All the best. Mccapra (talk) 12:44, 3 January 2022 (UTC) |
- @Mccapra:, actually, must is too strong a word regarding adding the {{translated page}} template. The template is merely advice, and adding it to the Talk page is optional. On the other hand, when creating an article like Lennart van der Linden by copying or translating it, Wikipedia's licensing requirements require that attribution be provided in the edit summary, as indicated at WP:TFOLWP. This policy requirement has legal implications and is not optional or ignorable. This required attribution was not made at the time the article was created, and still has not been, and that's what page reviewers should be calling attention to at Talk pages of Users who fail to add them, along with a link to WP:CWW and WP:RIA in a case like this one.
- Is there a set of guidelines that are available for Reviewers to follow? If this is not clear already it should definitely be added. If you point me to it, I'll be happy to add it. Please see related advice for MDW115 below at #Translating from other Wikipedias requires attribution. Adding User:Diannaa. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 09:08, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Steps for new page triage can be found at Wikipedia:New pages patrol.— Diannaa (talk) 15:12, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
Citing sources
Please cite your sources properly using a template (<ref>{{cite web|url=|title=|date=|first=|last=|website=|access-date=}}</ref>). It makes Wikipedia look more professional and removes WP:BARELINKS. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 19:26, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- MWD115, thanks for your contributions, but it would be a real improvement if you could follow Some Dude From North Carolina's advice and refrained from adding bare links as sources. If you are lazy like I am, a good workaround which is to use the visual editor, where you can input a bare link and it outputs a complete citation. Thank you. JBchrch talk 15:54, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
Communication is required
While I thank you for your contributions, I have no choice but to warn you that communication is required on Wikipedia. Failure to communicate with other editors, on your talk page and elsewhere, about the problems that may arise in the course of your editing can ultimately lead to administrative action, including a block. Thank you. JBchrch talk 22:29, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
Translating from other Wikipedias requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from nl:Lennart van der Linden to English Wikipedia's Lennart van der Linden article. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When translating a foreign-language Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've translated content, disclosing the translation and linking to the translated page, e.g., Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution.
It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{translated page}} template on the talk pages of the page you placed the translation. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have translated material 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. Mathglot (talk) 08:51, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
The same thing applies to Christian Aaron Boulogne, Lode Claes, Paul Embery, and all of these articles. Please see WP:CWW#Repairing insufficient attribution for how to proceed. Maybe User:Diannaa knows of an automated procedure that can help you with this. Thank you, Mathglot (talk) 08:53, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- No sorry I don't. — Diannaa (talk) 15:09, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
MWD115, I notice that you created another article, Hendrik Jan Schoo, in this edit as a partial translation of nl:Hendrik Jan Schoo, and failed to provide translation attribution for it. This occurred after the date of the notice above regarding missing translation attribution for the Lennart van der Linden article. I left you a message about this at Talk:Hendrik Jan Schoo as well. Please correct the missing attribution in these two articles, as explained at WP:RIA. Please stop adding copied or translated content to Wikipedia articles without providing an attribution statement in the edit summary, as required by Wikipedia's licensing requirements. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 03:18, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
- To make it easier for you to see what articles need to have missing attribution added, and to manage the process, I've created a worksheet at User talk:MWD115/Articles needing attribution, and started it off by supplying attribution for three articles for you. If you can carry on, following the model of those three and the instructions supplied at the worksheet, that would be very helpful. If you have any questions on how to do this, please ask me at my Talk page. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 23:03, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
Concern regarding Draft:Paul Tucker (musician)
Hello, MWD115. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Paul Tucker (musician), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 07:01, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
Use of BARE URLs in references, and collaboration with other editors
MWD115, in this edit at Reconquête you added three WP:BAREURLS as references. This was pointed out to you above in section #Citing sources just above by Some Dude From North Carolina and reiterated by JBchrch, who provided some good tips on how to deal with this.
In addition, when you reuse the same reference twice (or more times), as you did in the case of 'https://programme.zemmour2022.fr/europe', there's no need to add it twice, just name the reference the first time, and reuse it later as a named reference. Since the identical web page url was already cited in the article before your edit as a fully filled out citation (see the Infobox) you can simply reuse that full citation and avoid the BAREURL problem you introduced.
Finally, user talk pages are here for collaboration with other editors at Wikipedia. In over two years, you have responded only once here on your Talk page (in February 2021, here). Although the majority of the 200+ sections above are boilerplate notifications about Afc notifications, disambig links, or Arb voter messages that don't require a response, 34 sections are individual messages to you, unresponded to except for that one message a year ago.
Please respond to this message below, and let me know if you understand the points about WP:BAREURLs, and about WP:NAMEDREFS. If you don't understand them fully, or if you have any questions about them, I'm happy to explain, simply {{Reply}} below with your question. (You may also use the Wikipedia WP:Help desk to ask any question about editing Wikipedia.) Please do not ignore this message. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 20:46, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
I consulted the guidelines again, thank you for your messages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MWD115 (talk • contribs) 02:28, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- You're welcome. A couple of friendly tips, as you appear to be unfamiliar with Talk page conventions:
- Please sign your comments by adding four tildes (~~~~) at the end of every message.
- Please indent your replies one more tab stop than the message you are replying to. WP:THREAD explains this in detail.
- Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 20:28, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
Please stop adding only WP:BAREURLs to articles, as you did (twice) in this edit of 22:50, 27 January 2022 at Harry Wijnschenk. With two years experience and over 200 articles created, you can no longer plead that you are a newbie and don't know any better. Can you kindly go back to the article and add a proper citation in those two cases? The list of tools in the left sidebar on every page in Wikipedia has a link to the Generate citation tool, and you can click that, paste your bare url into the box, and it will create a full citation for you. It can't get much easier than that. Will you do this, please, going forward? Please respond. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 04:26, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
Warning about your continuing unattributed translations
Despite various notifications regarding your unattributed translations in violation of Wikipedia's licensing requirements, you appear to be going right ahead doing translations without including the required translation attribution. I feel I must now warn you that if there are any further edits of this nature, you risk having your editing privileges suspended.
I noticed this edit that you made to Gerard van As today at 19:58, 27 January 2022. The part of this edit that lies in the #Career section has clearly been translated from portions of section #Biographie of the Dutch article Gerard van As, but there is no attribution statement in the edit summary of your edit crediting the authors at the Dutch article as required (in fact, there is no edit summary at all).
I am aware that you have over 200 article creations, perhaps half or more of them unattributed translations from other Wikipedias (see Articles needing attribution). I am concerned that you may have even more unattributed translations in edits to articles created by others than in the ones you started, as they are harder to find, such as your edit to Gerard van As.
Adding translations of materials from other Wikipedias is permitted, and you are welcome to continue making them as long as they are attributed. However, you have now been warned several times by various editors over a couple of years (one, two, three), and further violations of Wikipedia's licensing requirements will likely result in your being WP:BLOCKed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my Talk page. Thank you. Mathglot (talk) 05:30, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:Peter Langendam
Hello, MWD115. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Peter Langendam".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:59, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
Signing your comments
You've been here over two years now, and it seems that other editors still have to supply missing signatures at the end of your comments. This was explained to you in a original welcome message above in 2019, and again here in 2021, and again last month.
At the point it was explained to you in 2021, you had been here a year and a half, with 55 new page creations to your credit already, a task considered by many to be one of the most difficult to carry out successfully. And yet, here we are again.
Collaboration at Wikipedia is essential, and either you really don't yet know how to respond to a comment on your Talk page after creating 200 new articles in 2 1/2 years, or maybe you just don't care to respond properly and enjoy playing everyone for a fool and it's a bit hard to tell which it is. I just congratulated you for your first attributed translation above, and I meant it sincerely, but you need to get on board now with proper Talk page protocol. You can read about it at WP:THREAD if you need a refresher. After you've digested it, please respond to this comment with a properly indented and signed comment. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 04:41, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Air France Flight 7775
If this is the first article that you have 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.
A tag has been placed on Air France Flight 7775 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20070125-0. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely 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.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Ciro Petrone moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Ciro Petrone, 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.

Unattributed translation at Trots op Nederland
Regarding your edit today to Trots op Nederland, I noticed the following similarities to the Dutch article, in particular between sections § Views and policies in the English article, and § Standpunten in the Dutch one:
Your added text (rev. 1069518252) | My translation of the Dutch original (nl:59923507) | Dutch original | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
The party described its platform under the acronym PRIDE which consists of eight main themes: education, integration, regulation, security, immigration, traffic management, social care, and development cooperation.[1] | TROTS' program in its current form consists of eight main themes:[2] education, integration, regulation, safety, immigration, traffic congestion, health care, and development cooperation. |
| ||
The party stated that it stood for individual freedom and that government policy should serve the citizen and not the other way around. | In [all] these areas, the individual is central according to Trots op Nederland. All government policies should serve the citizen and not the other way around. |
| ||
In Verdonk's vision, a small but decisive government works best, which enforces the most necessary laws strictly and justly. | Verdonk's vision calls for a small but decisive government that strictly and fairly enforces the most necessary laws. |

That means fewer rules, fewer civil servants, but more entrepreneurship and more room for self-confident citizens. The party also supports stricter measures against crime. | This means fewer rules, fewer officials, but more entrepreneurship and more room for self-confident citizens.

Other policies include:

Do you have any explanation for the similarity of the text you added to Trots op Nederland to the Dutch article without the required translation attribution? You don't seem to be taking the previous (five?) warnings about this over the last two years seriously. Notifying users Moneytrees and Sennecaster. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 20:43, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Hi there, can you show me where to notify them please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MWD115 (talk • contribs) 20:47, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, it has been linked numerous times above, using the words "required translation attribution" or similar. To answer your question directly (again), the attribution must be added to the edit summary of your edit. The content of this field should contain the wording suggested in the example at WP:TFOLWP.
- If you forgot, you can add this information retroactively, using the procedure described at WP:CWW#Repairing insufficient attribution. In order to do this, you should first learn what a Dummy edit is, and how to do one. In brief, a dummy edit is a way to add an Edit summary to the history of an article, without actually changing the article; this is what you need to do, to add translation attribution retroactively to Trots op Nederland. The following statement added to the edit history of Trots op Nederland will meet the requirement:
Content in the edit of 18:14, 2 February 2022 was translated from the existing Dutch Wikipedia article at [[:nl:Trots op Nederland]]; see its history for attribution.
- If you have any questions, please reply below, and add
{{Reply|Mathglot}}
to your message. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 21:15, 2 February 2022 (UTC)- One more thing: your response above was very timely. I am not an admin, but I'm pretty experienced here, and in my opinion you were about one eye blink away from getting blocked, and your response above has probably stopped the guillotine blade halfway down the track. But it's still hanging there, waiting. As long as you follow up on your message and my response, and show that you are now going to add translation attribution for Trots op Nederland, and, more importantly, that you will always add required attribution in the future, I think you will be okay. If you ignore this discussion, or start to forget to add attribution again, you will likely be blocked. I don't want to see that happen, and I'm sure you don't either. If you have questions, please ask. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 21:24, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Just checking in with you again: since my last message, you've made another dozen edits over the last few days. I am wondering if you can add the translation attribution for Trots op Nederland next thing you do; it's easy. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 09:39, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Congratulations on your first attributed translation
MWD115, good job on this edit at Trots op Nederland with the edit summary, "Content in this edit is translated from the existing Dutch Wikipedia article at nl:Trots op Nederland; see its history for attribution". Now be sure to keep it up going forward, as you create new articles or update existing articles with translations from other language Wikipedias. (This also applies to copying content from other English Wikipedia articles, and the idea is the same thing, but the wording of the edit summary is slightly different.)
One minor quibble with your edit summary: you said, "Content in this edit is translated...", but in that edit, you only added the word "their" to the article; it was an earlier revision that contained the actual translation, namely, your edit of 18:14, 2 February 2022 (diff). When you come back later to add missing attribution from an earlier translation, as you did here, then you should change the wording of the edit summary slightly. Instead of saying, "...in this edit...", say this instead:
Content in the earlier edit of 18:14, 2 February 2022 was translated from the existing Dutch Wikipedia article at nl:Trots op Nederland; see its history for attribution.
substituting in the date and time of the edit containing your earlier translation that you forgot to attribute.
Various editors have been volunteering their time to repair the missing attribution in some of your earlier created articles, and it would show good faith if you could help out by adding missing attribution to some of those articles. You can find a worksheet about this here: User talk:MWD115/Articles needing attribution. Thanks, and if you ever have any questions about attribution or any other questions feel free to contact me at my Talk page. Mathglot (talk) 03:00, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Billy Idol
Hi MWD115. I noticed you added bodyheightweight.com as a reference to Billy Idol last year. [1]. I've removed it as clearly unreliable and spammy. Please be much more careful in your choice of references. You may want to check WP:RSP and WP:RSN to help determine if a source is reliable. --Hipal (talk) 17:04, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Regarding Manuel Mariscal Zabala
Please note that you need to put the following template on the talk page of articles you translate from Spanish Wikipedia:
{{Translated|1=es|2=<Link to translated article on Spanish Wikipedia>}}
This allows the history of the original page to be properly accessed for attribution - an edit summary is insufficient.
Thank you. Kirbanzo (talk - contribs) 20:59, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- MWD115, just wanted to clarify that the well-meaning advice above is not accurate; you do not have to place the {{Translated}} template on the Talk page, although it is helpful to other editors, and a good thing to do whenever possible. (I do add the template to articles I've translated). However, as long as you follow the guidelines about adding proper attribution to the edit summary as we've discussed above, it is not necessary to add anything to the Talk page. Mathglot (talk) 23:20, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for for both clarifying — Preceding unsigned comment added by MWD115 (talk • contribs) 23:21, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- That said, please use the proper form of attribution in the edit summary, naming the article, and linking it. We've talked about this several times, most recently here and here, and you've already done it correctly before, so please do it in the recommended way again, by including the foreign article name in the summary, and linking it. So:
- for Spanish articles:
Content in this edit is translated from the existing Spanish Wikipedia article at [[:es:<Spanish article name>]]; see its history for attribution.
- for French articles:
Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:<French article name>]]; see its history for attribution.
- for Dutch articles:
Content in this edit is translated from the existing Dutch Wikipedia article at [[:nl:<Dutch article name>]]; see its history for attribution.
- for Spanish articles:
- I hope this is clear, now, and you will use this edit summary going forward. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 03:19, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Archiving your Talk page
Your Talk page is now 470kb long. This is waay beyond the point where most people archive their old discussions, if no other reason than to save you from getting cramps in your scrolling finger. Would you like me to set up archiving for you? Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 05:21, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Mathglot, that would be helpful. Thank you MWD115 (talk) 17:57, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
- The archiving bot should pick up your page in a day or two, and start creating archives for you. It will only archive discussions that have been quiet for 30 days, and each archive will max out at 175kb, and then a new one will be started. It will leave a minimum of eight discussions on your Talk page, even if they are old. All of these values are configurable. The talk header at the top will let you search your archives, which is a handy feature. Hope this helps! Mathglot (talk) 07:12, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you Mathglot, I appreciate your help with this :) MWD115 (talk) 16:10, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- No worries. One last tip: the archive bot depends on the user signature after each comment to figure out when to archive a discussion. If the last signature in a discussion is not signed and dated, it will never get archived. You can either archive it manually, or use template {{unsigned}} (or {{undated}} ) to add the signature/date, and then the bot will archive it. If this situation arises and you need help with it, feel free to {{ping}} me. Mathglot (talk) 18:16, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Reminder about attribution for translated content
Wikimedia's Terms of Use regarding licensing of content requires that you either list all the authors of the original article, or provide a link to the original article that you copied or translated. So, when you created Manuel Mariscal Zabala in this edit, and attributed it with this statement:
- "Content in this article is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article, see its history for attribution"
that was a good start, but it wasn't quite enough to fulfill the terms. There are actually two problems with it:
- you didn't say what article it was translated from; and:
- you didn't link to the original article in the edit summary.
Please review the copy-paste models I gave you above in this section. A proper attribution statement for the Zabala article that satisfies the Terms of Use, might be the following:
Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Manuel Mariscal Zabala]]; see its history for attribution.
Please keep this in mind, and use proper attribution format for translated content going forward, including a link to the source article. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 02:15, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

María de los Reyes Romero Vilches
Please take care when creating an article which is a biography (especially when it's of a living person) to use their correct name. Recently, you created the article Reyes Romero Vilches, but her last name is "Romero Vilches" and her given name is "María de los Reyes". I have moved the article to María de los Reyes Romero Vilches. In addition, I have added the template {{Family name hatnote}}, which generates:

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages
Thank you for your recent articles, including Nicolas Dragon, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You can also use a friendly script for that. You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 15:40, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- MWD115, I concur with Piotrus here. To make it easier for you, since the majority of your additions are biographies of living politicians in Belgian, Dutch, Swedish, and other European constituencies with a mix of military men and political parties thrown in, perhaps you could start by pasting the following code onto the Talk page of new articles you create, and delete those lines which do not apply (i.e., pick just one country, delete "Women" if it's a man, or delete "Military history" if it's a politician and not a general, and so on):
{{WikiProject banner shell |1= {{WikiProject Articles for creation |class= }} {{WikiProject Belgium |class= |importance= }} {{WikiProject Biography|class= |living=yes }} {{WikiProject European history |class= |importance= }} {{WikiProject France |class= |importance= }} {{WikiProject Military history |Biography=y |class= }} {{WikiProject Netherlands |class= }} {{WikiProject Politics |class= }} {{WikiProject Sweden |class= |importance= }} {{WikiProject Women |class= }} }}
- No need to edit the wikicode first; just select-copy directly from what you see above. Are you able to do this going forward? Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 18:47, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, yes that should work. I'll try this for the next edit I do. MWD115 (talk) 21:10, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Translation attribution reminder
Thanks for including attribution statements in your translations from French Wikipedia. Reminder: please use this model, linking the original French article in your summary:
Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution.
Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 03:37, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of José Pacheco (Portuguese politician)
Hello MWD115,
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Yeeno, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, José Pacheco (Portuguese politician), for deletion, because there's already a page about that topic at José Pacheco (politician). Please don't be discouraged; we appreciate your effort in creating new articles. To avoid this in the future, consider using the search function to find pages that already cover what you want to write about.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.
For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Yeeno}}
. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~
. Thanks!

Concern regarding Draft:Ciro Petrone
Hello, MWD115. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Ciro Petrone, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 19:02, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
Reference dates
Hello, not sure if you were copying from another article or what, but the access-dates for the references in this were quite a bit off, one saying the reference was added early last year. So if you pull stuff from elsewhere, make sure to change the access-date in the format to whatever the current date is. Just a heads up, thanks. TylerBurden (talk) 02:51, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
- Hi TylerBurden, thanks for the alert, it could have been from pasting. Which article was it? I can go back and review it. MWD115 (talk) 16:56, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
- It was on Sweden Democrats, I fixed the access-dates on it though so they are fine now. TylerBurden (talk) 19:24, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Ciro Petrone

Reminder about unattributed translations
Thank you for adding properly formatted translation attribution on your recently created articles. As far as I can tell, all of the articles you created since the discussion above have been correctly attributed. But that leaves a large backlog of unattributed translations from earlier. As has been mentioned various times before, you can find the list of articles needing attention at User talk:MWD115/Articles needing attribution. If you can go through this list to repair insufficient attribution on any article that needs it, that would help bring them in line with Wikipedia's licensing requirement. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 18:08, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Mathglot: thanks for letting me know, when I have time I'll go back through and amend MWD115 (talk) 19:05, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reminder: please use the word edit (not article) for your translation edits (unless you just created the article; but edit works always, regardless whether you created it or are updating it). So, for Bart De Wever, your edit (diff) should have read:
- Content in this edit is translated from the existing Dutch Wikipedia article [[:nl:Bart De Wever]]; see its history for attribution
- and not, "Content in this
articleis translated..." because someone else created the initial article, and you don't know if all their content came from the Dutch article or not. When in doubt, just refer to the WP:CWW guideline, especially WP:TFOLWP in the case of translations. - Also, please don't forget the backlog of unattributed articles. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 20:30, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

License tagging for File:L'Éveil océanien Logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:L'Éveil océanien Logo.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 08:30, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
File copyright problem with File:Logo Mouvement populaire calédonien.png
Thank you for uploading File:Logo Mouvement populaire calédonien.png. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Vladlen Manilov ✉ / 07:06, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Vladien, it was translated from the French Wikipedia page and I re-uploaded it as the English language Wikipedia of the page had a broken image file and wouldn't accept the French one directly copied and pasted. I'll go to the description page and look at the tags MWD115 (talk) 23:28, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Your edit to Party for Freedom
Hi – about this edit you made to Party for Freedom:
- The language code for English is
en
, noteng
. - Instead of adding the same reference twice, you can assign it a name and then reuse it (see my edit). The advantage is that it appears only once in the reference section.
- I don't understand "Expanding, edits in this article are taken from the existing Wikipedia page wiki:euroscepticism see its history for attribution". In case you were referring to the article on Euroscepticism, I couldn't find any current or past content there that's related to your edit.
Joriki (talk) 23:45, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Joriki, yes that was a reference to the article Euroscepticism as the wording and the article link on the PVV edits were lifted from and previously used in that article so credit was going to used the link on the Euroscepticism article first. MWD115 (talk) 23:52, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
