Disambiguation link notification for January 6



Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Grampians National Park ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Arapiles ↗<!-- ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Grampians_National_Park check to confirm]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Grampians_National_Park?client=notify fix with Dab solver])-->. 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) 06:10, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia ↗! Thank you for your contributions ↗; however, ''please'' remember the essential rule of respecting copyright ↗s. '''Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page :Guillaume Brahimi ↗, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission.''' It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you ''can'' clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

If you still have questions, there is the teahouse ↗, or you can {{edit|Special:MyTalk|click here to ask a question on your talk page|section=new|preload=Help:Contents/helpmepreload|preloadtitle=Help me!}} and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.


I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name ↗ on talk pages using four tilde ↗s (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Wikipedia and copyright



30px|link=|alt=Control copyright icon ↗ Hello Spinifex&#38;Sand! While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright ↗ and plagiarism ↗ issues.


It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked ↗ from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-copyright-new --> asilvering (talk) 06:32, 25 July 2023 (UTC)


:Thank you asilvering. I am still a relatively new editor, but do want to create good content and so your feedback is appreciated. Thank you for your feedback. I have resubmitted the Agnes Smith page for review. ~~ Spinifex&#38;Sand (talk) 04:18, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Draft:Agnes Clifford Smith ↗


48px|left|alt=|link= ↗
{{Quote box|quote=<p>If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article ↗.</p><p>You may want to consider using the Article Wizard ↗ to help you create articles.</p>|width=20%|align=right}}
A tag has been placed on :Draft:Agnes Clifford Smith ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement ↗. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.jstor.org/stable/community.28046921<nowiki> </nowiki>and https://www.wvencyclopedia.org/print/Article/465/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely 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 ↗.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by visiting the page ↗ and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗. <!-- Template:Db-copyvio-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> asilvering (talk) 06:33, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

I see you recently edited this section ↗ on the Jeremy Griffith page, about the court case. In case you are not aware, that section was the subject of several lengthy discussions on the Talk pages. Your edits look OK to me (they have certainly made the content easier to understand) but I wanted to let you know it’s probably best to exercise caution when editing any discussion of legal proceedings, especially on a page where a lot of editors have had discussions about how best to present the content.

Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Medicine ↗!


thumb|right|thumbtime=2:59|320px|Welcome to Wikipedia and WP:MED|WikiProject Medicine ↗ ↗

'''Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Medicine ↗''' (also known as WPMED).

We're a group of editors who want to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. I noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:


Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any questions. I wish you all the best, and thank you for your help!<!--Template:WPMED welcome--> <br>I wanted to leave a note as I had to remove your addition to the myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome ↗ page because it relied on primary sources instead of secondary sources as policy for medical topics instructs ↗. I hope this information will be helpful for your future editing! Innisfree987 (talk) 07:36, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

:Hi @Innisfree987, thanks for the advice. Just curious why you removed that content, given its mostly based on a Science Daily article, which is a secondary source? The same material is also discussed here in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/oct/08/scientists-say-they-have-first-blood-test-to-diagnose-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-me.
:So I would have thought it would be OK to include those additions??
:I am a bit new to editing Medical focussed articles, so I do appreciate your feedback. Spinifex&#38;Sand (talk) 00:38, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
::Thanks for the tag. In this instance, the Science Daily piece appears to be a press release, so that is a primary source, but additionally WP:MEDPOP ↗ recommends against using news articles, so the Guardian isn’t ideal either. We’re looking for secondary sources from scientific authorities, like systematic reviews or major national guidelines. I know this can be somewhat counterintuitive: if you have a few minutes to read WP:MEDRS ↗, it’s well worth the time! Innisfree987 (talk) 03:15, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to :David Chivers ↗ when you modified the page, you introduced {{cl|Unknown parameters|unknown parameters}}. Just because you specify {{para|some_param|{{var|some_variable}}}} does not always mean that variable will display. The {{para|some_param}} must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a '''Show preview''' button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history ↗ of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk ↗ for assistance.
