Please let me know. I gave some tips above, but didn't hear back -- not sure whether you were able to use it. Thanks, --Gryllida (talk) 00:04, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Re: Thanks Gryllida and Huon for your tips! Unfortunately I didn't save the page I wanted to add a citation for, but I will definitely use this in the future. Thanks again ADifferentMan (talk) 07:59, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of terrorist incidents in 2015 ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aksu ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 07:58, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Contentious topic alert - gender and sexuality

link=|25px|alt=Information icon ↗ You have recently made edits related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them. This is a standard message to inform you that gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them is a designated contentious topic. This message ''does '''not''' imply that there are any issues with your editing.'' For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics ↗.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from :1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre ↗ into :People's Liberation Army at the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre ↗. 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., <code>copied content from <nowiki>page name ↗</nowiki>; see that page's history for attribution</code>. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{tl|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.  — Diannaa (talk) 13:15, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Changes to Jindalee article

I have had some matter that I added to the Jindalee page suspended due to insufficient referencing.

As I was a senior Writer on the documentation project, and the Training Manager for techncians, I consider myself an authority, at least at the depth-of-description appropriate for Wikipedia.

Please let me know how to fix this.

Advise against a vandal

Hello, ADifferentMan. I hope I can ask for advise against a vandal. There is an IP-user https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/~2025-33700-45 ↗ who has begun to vandalise the article of Jacob Notaras ↗. In short, they remove fully referenced information for what appear to be evident bias. Should they be reported somewhere? It seems to be a very simple case. I see these cases of vandalism blocked all the time: but this article is not watched by many, I think, and I mostly just write articles and know less about how to manage vandals. Perhaps they should simply be blocked as a vandal (?). I am in the middle of an assignment in real life, so I do not really have the time to deal with the issue. Perhaps you can take a look at it?
