Welcome to Wikipedia![edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Brass, Nigeria, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

If you still have questions, there is the teahouse, or you can click here to ask a question on your talk page and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! DanCherek (talk) 20:29, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

September 2021[edit]

Your edit to Isoko language has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page Period. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
- Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links or references

Copyright violation at Sore throat[edit]

Noted, I'm rewriting.

Thank you. Modestyeton (talk) 17:31, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A) A close paraphrase is still a copyright problem and B) Even if it weren't, healthline.com is not a WP:MEDRS compliant source. MrOllie (talk) 17:39, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, noted.

Thank you. Modestyeton (talk) 17:47, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Same issue with your edit to Western African Ebola virus epidemic – you cannot copy something and then just replace a bunch of words with their synonyms. That results in incoherent sentences and is still plagiarism. DanCherek (talk) 19:30, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

May 2023[edit]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Bayelsa State, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 10:48, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Arjayay. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Warri. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 13:06, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Warri, you may be blocked from editing. - Arjayay (talk) 13:06, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Akamkpa.
Please stop adding external links to articles. Please read and follow Help:Referencing for beginners - Arjayay (talk) 13:11, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edit reversion[edit]

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick (Talk) 12:35, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CS1 error on New Calabar River[edit]

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page New Calabar River, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 03:52, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

October 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm AgisdeSparte. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Ngadda River, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. AgisdeSparte (talk) 22:27, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, i just added a citation now Modestyeton (talk) 22:58, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mirrors[edit]

Thanks for contributing to the article Cross–Niger transition forests. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you.
