Wisconsin State Journal[edit]

Hello, please use sources. --Serols (talk) 15:45, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Citing Sources[edit]

As Serols pointed out above we require you to cite your sources on the English Wikipedia. This is commonly done using inline citations; simply putting them in the edit summary isn't enough. For more information about how to make good citations you can read Help:Referencing for beginners. I hope you have a great time editing!

In response to your edits to Capital Newspapers[edit]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

I have reverted the page move, because it is irrelevant to the Capital Newspapers article. A simple summary would be necessary, but not the entire page. JackFromReedsburg (talk | contribs) 16:57, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am reporting you for edit warring.[edit]

You have been warned multiple times above, and still persist at these unreferenced edits. I should note, that all you needed to do was provide a reference to your edit and it would have stood, and you ignored that advice. Timmccloud (talk) 17:09, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New Editor Stuff[edit]

As one newish user to another, this helped me a lot when I was getting to know how stuff is formatted around here: The Wikipedia Adventure.
I did notice at the edit warring noticeboard that you said your boss asked you to make the changes to the article. You should also read COI and Paid Editing to make sure you aren't unintentionally doing something you shouldn't be.
The learning curve here is steep -- I recommend that you go slowly, and carefully. The Teahouse is a great place to ask questions when you're unsure of something, loads of editors are happy to help new editors there. Cheers, and best of luck editing!

Thank you! I apprecaite the response. Something that actually will help, not just scolding me. ;) I'm just making simple edits for my boss... nothing exciting or wrong by any means.

Shycush, you must disclosed any and conflict of interest edits. Please see Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest immediately. Also remember to use your signature when you reply (~~~~) JackFromReedsburg (talk | contribs) 20:45, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Shycush, your boss can make edits they want to make by themselves. You should not be making edits on someone else's behalf. Please acknowledge that you are reading the guidelines that you've been linked to, they are more complex than you might expect them to be. sootikins ^{(gaze/palaver)} 21:25, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Shycush. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Capital Newspapers, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 20:50, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
