Rewriting of lead[edit]
hey, welcome to wikipedia! I understand you desire to simplify definitions, but can you please read WP:LEAD before cutting another lead of articles like Planet? Usually if you disagree with current definition, you can discuss it on the talk page - lead is basically a compressed article, a short version if you like, and it shouldn't be changed abruptly. Cheers! Artem.G (talk) 15:15, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Cycle of thirds (disambiguation)[edit]
Hello TheWeeklyEditor,
I'm Chaotic Enby, and I patrol new pages here on Wikipedia.
I wanted to let you know that I have tagged a page that you created (Cycle of thirds (disambiguation)) for deletion because it is unnecessary per one of the criteria at WP:G14.
If you feel that the page shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can 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|Chaotic Enby}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]
Hello TheWeeklyEditor! Your additions to Vintage base ball 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 elegibility.
- 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.
