To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from T-15 Armata into BMPT Terminator. 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., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{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) 06:14, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I tried to take only a very limited amount of text "as is" combining a minimum set of sentences in order not to duplicate the info from the main article. The existing paragraph was almost empty and with too many times the word "may", I wanted to report some quick distinction towards the 1 and 2 variant. I added the link "further information" on the top of the paragraph to the main article, I tought it was what was needed.

I can slim down the paragraph and recombine the words more (or remove it completely and just link the main article).

I do translate some articles between wikis, so I'm used to take info from one article and transpose that info to the other, without putting any personal touch or rewriting sentences, in order not to change it's meaning or the objective content between languages.

Hi Camp0s. You're allowed to copy text from one Wikipedia article to another – even without having to paraphrase it or rewrite it in your words – but each time you do that, you should indicate in the edit sumary where it was copied from (like "copied content from [[BMPT Terminator]]; see that page's history for attribution"). That's all I was trying to say. I already fixed this for you in this edit, so it was just for future reference. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 13:12, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to you too, I'll pay more attention. Camp0s (talk) 13:31, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Three Gorges Dam

Hi Camp0s, I just saw your edits on the Three Gorges Dam which I'm afraid will have to be reverted. I just thought I'd explain why as a matter of courtesy. Firstly, the non-breaking space (ampersand + nbsp;) is very important in preventing an automatic line break where it's not desirable, particularly between a value and a unit such as 50 MW. It tightly binds together the value and the unit as a continuous visual element and avoids placing the value (50) at the end of one line and the unit (MW) at the start of the next line which looks wrong. The eventual line position depends on the reader's screen size, text size, etc. so cannot be predicted by looking at the article in your own browser or edit preview.

The second thing is the images. What were you trying to do there? I agree there is a bit of MOS:SANDWICH going on higher up the article, but we never place images in the lead section as it detracts from the infobox image. The best thing to do IMO would be to just move the panorama to a better location and clear a space for it. I'll try doing that later.

I have no special interest in the three gorges article. I just stumbled upon it a few days ago when I reviewed a pending edit and then decided to make some further improvements in my spare time. Kind regards, Rodney Baggins (talk) 08:22, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All understood, thank you for explanation. I didn't want to move the images too up, it looked like no matter what, the images remained at the botton or jumped up with no middle position. I just wanted to "free" the panorama in the middle. Camp0s (talk) 15:14, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Doublespace

Edits like this are mostly inconsequential. The wiki rendering software ignores these extra spaces so what readers see is the same either way. If you want to do cleanup like this is it generally considered good form to find something more substantial to improve in the same edit. ~Kvng (talk) 14:24, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is the checkbox "minor edit" and the description when committing not meant to mark such "marginal" edits? Camp0s (talk) 02:01, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits are things like reference formatting, spelling and grammar corrections. Such improvements are visible to readers but not of significant consequence to the material. Edits that don't change what readers see are below this and we don't have a checkbox for that. ~Kvng (talk) 15:00, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, got it. But then, if there are inconsistences in the source(s) of the wiki article, shouldn't them be fixed especially if the change is minor?

Relying on the display/viewer logic/code that "will take care of that" it feels not error proof, what if such logic changes and the wiki source(s) get's interpreted differently? I mean, then jumping into good code formatting, tabs/spaces, styling conventions, etc, etc - even there in many languages "white spaces don't count", never the less there's huge commotion for this or that :/ Camp0s (talk) 13:35, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to do cleanup like this is it generally considered good form to find something more substantial to improve in the same edit. I'm just a fellow editor, you're not required to heed my advice. ~Kvng (talk) 03:46, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
