Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. I'm sorry this might be my fault. I keep getting logged out for some reason. I think I can fix this problem. Can I have my editing privileges back, please? You'll see that I've nominated the Eureka flag article for a-class staus. But there might be more work to do as it's being looked at presently. The number of hours I've already spent on that article is substantial and I'd really like to see it upgraded.

Decline reason:

I see no block on this account directly. If you are unable to edit, you will need to tell us the exact message that appears when you attempt to edit, along with the IP address in the message.

Timeline of the Eureka Rebellion moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Timeline of the Eureka Rebellion, 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.

Speedy deletion of Eureka Monument

If this was the first article that you 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.

The page Eureka Monument has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from http://eurekapedia.org/Eureka_Monument. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been 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.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion Review.

Your edit to 1855 Victorian High Treason trials 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.

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.

I have had a look at this issue. I don't deny the content looks very similar. But I think you'll find that the author of this page <https://bootcampmilitaryfitnessinstitute.com/2020/12/03/what-was-the-eureka-rebellion-1854> has plagiarised the Wikipedia article in question rather than me having plagiarised them. I think there is something called the way back machine that would allow Wikipedia to make that determination.

Robbiegibbons (talk) 23:25, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

My mistake, I definitely should have looked more closely. However, material copied from other Wikipedia articles should be attributed, and I've done so in an edit summary and on the talk pages of both articles. I'm sorry about leaving such a menacing template on your talk page without doing my due diligence. — SamX [talk · contribs] 05:55, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Eureka Stockade (fortification) and Eureka Stockade Memorial Park

Hi Robbiegibbons. You've added "MacFalane 1994" (which I'm guessing bis a misspelling of MacFarlane) to Eureka Stockade (fortification) and Eureka Stockade Memorial Park. Whether "MacFalane 1994" or "MacFarlane 1994" neither are defined in either article. Could you add the required cites to the Bibliography sections of the two articles, or lete know what work this refers to? Also can I suggest you turn on the error messages for short form references, the details of how to do so can be found here Category:Harv and Sfn template errors. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 17:15, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello Robbiegibbons, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Hugh King (soldier), should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hugh King (soldier).

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Pickersgill-Cunliffe}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
