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 :List of Turkish people by net worth ↗ into another page. 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.  DanCherek (talk) 20:13, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

:{{reply to|DanCherek}} Thank you for warning me! Our ignorance is our weak spot, now I know and rest assured I will not repeat the same mistake again. Acratopotes (talk) 20:21, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Aziz ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aziza ↗.

Introduction to contentious topics

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''the topics of Kurds and Kurdistan, broadly construed''', a topic designated as '''contentious ↗'''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully</strong> and <strong>constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;

comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;

follow editorial and behavioural best practice;

comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and

refrain from gaming the system.

<p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'' you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic here ↗. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}} Bogazicili (talk) 17:30, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Anatolia ↗

I think your edits in this article are misleading https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anatolia&diff=1250305572&oldid=1249909069 ↗

First of all, there are no Anatolia-only sources for ethnicity and language. It's really questionable these infobox parameters should exist.

Second of all, you made edits without citing any sources.

Third, you grouped 13 languages together including Turkish, Kurdish, etc. Turkish is clearly the most spoken language. It's also questionable to say ethnic Turks and ethnic Kurds are the majority, then list other minorities separately. Bogazicili (talk) 17:37, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

:if you think so, that's, if my writing style or my way of expression is bad, you can take it undo. i intended to improve the article. but like i said, i'm 100% okay with you taking it undo to solve the problem. Acratopotes (talk) 17:48, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
::Thank you for your contributions. The parts you edited were already unsourced and problematic. It also seems that <nowiki>{{Infobox peninsulas}}</nowiki> have been discontinued, so it's good you changed the infobox template. Bogazicili (talk) 17:51, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi there. You should not add {{para|blp|yes}} and {{para|living|no}} as you did on Talk:Tekin Kartal ↗. These two parameters have the same purpose, so just use one. Thank you — Martin <small>(MSGJ · talk)</small> 08:01, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Cem Korkmaz

Hello Acratopotes,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Cem Korkmaz ↗ for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can <span class="plainlinks">'''Korkmaz}}&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion ↗'''</span>, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page ↗ if you have questions. Thanks!

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello. Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia ↗. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary ↗. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief ↗.

The edit summary field looks like this:
{{Edit summary field/OOUI}}

'''Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make.''' With a Wikipedia account ↗, you can give yourself a reminder by setting {{myprefs|3|check={{int:tog-forceeditsummary}}}}, and then click the "{{int:saveprefs}}" button.
