MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC) Did you get the help you needed at the Teahouse?No one responded here and I'm not sure whether I know the answers. There is one answer I can give you. It is recommended that Wikilinks be included in the infobox. That's one of the exceptions to the rule about overlinking. People reading are likely to look at the infobox and the Wikilinks are easy to find there.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:56, 24 December 2018 (UTC) Thank you, Vchimpanzee. I appreciate that info.

Train of Knowledge🚆📚 Choo Choo🚂 Chugga Chugga🚉 07:01, 26 November 2019 (UTC) I've placed a question on the Draft talk page for my submitted sandbox draft. Perhaps it would be more appropriate here. At this page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:PaulThePony#Copyright_problem%3A_Draft%3AAn_Indigenous_Peoples%27_History_of_the_United_States, I received this notice from you, Train of Knowledge🚆📚. In the notice you stated: "This article appears to contain work copied from https://progressive.org/dispatches/writer-indigenous-history-looks-america-s-future-sees-past/, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies." This is perplexing as I have read the web page's contents twice and see nothing there that is in my draft, let alone copied and pasted. Would you be able to highlight the precise passage that has been determined to be improperly brought into my draft? That would be helpful. If it is the case that I didn't do anything improper, re: that web page, how do I then get my article re-reviewed for publication? With thanks. I truly appreciate you doing this kind of careful review. --PaulThePony (talk) 20:33, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
With sincere thanks, MPS1992. Most appreciated. --PaulThePony (talk) 00:10, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi MPS1992. That concern is appreciated. I've taken steps to remedy that appearance issue. I welcome you letting me know if you find the edits insufficient in this regard. Thank you. --PaulThePony (talk) 16:36, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
Thank you, MPS1992! I'll attend to that and will look carefully at examples found in the resource you linked me to. --PaulThePony (talk) 00:06, 28 November 2019 (UTC) Your thread has been archived

The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. TJRC (talk) 17:09, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Important NoticeThis is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor. Doug Weller talk 14:23, 28 May 2020 (UTC) Hi Doug Weller. Understanding that the notice doesn't mean I've violated any terms, I'm seeking your guidance. First, I am very glad such a system is in place. Yesterday, in fact, I was telling a friend about the changes to the administration of Wikipedia. This is one I'm most happy with. This is to say, I do not wish to violate it. I didn't see any alerts on the pages I worked on yesterday. Was that an oversight on my part? I believe all the changes I made were to make the pages more accurate (in one case with significant inaccuracies), remedy some small grammatical matters, to add historical information backed up with primary sources. Who might I turn to for advice about such changes, even about those specific ones, so I can be sure not to violate the guidelines for editing this category of page? I would welcome reviewing those: I'm sure I would learn a lot. I believe I have a few hundred edits under my belt, which I recall being a requirement. With thanks for your assistance. --PaulThePony (talk) 16:02, 28 May 2020 (UTC) ArbCom 2020 Elections voter messageFile:Olympia Dukakis still at Pride Parade, from film Olympia by Harry Marvomichalis.jpg listed for discussionA file that you uploaded or altered, File:Olympia Dukakis still at Pride Parade, from film Olympia by Harry Marvomichalis.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion.

Thank you. Whpq (talk) 00:47, 13 April 2021 (UTC) ArbCom 2021 Elections voter messageMirrors Thanks for contributing to the article John Stoltenberg. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you. Kuru (talk) 11:42, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
