National varieties of English
[edit] Hello. In a recent edit to the page St John's Wood, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 23:27, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for this reminder and advice. Appreciate it. Ubivxoq (talk) 07:04, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
[edit] Hello Ubivxoq! Your additions to Cornelia Funke have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:
- Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
- Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
- Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
- Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 00:15, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello! Appreciate your feedback and tips. Am a beginner editor so I still have much to learn. Will definitely keep all your reminders and shared guidelines in mind, so I can edit while adhering to community standards. Thank you very much. Ubivxoq (talk) 06:13, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- Your recent edit on Vanessa Greene was also a copyright violation. Please do not copy content from an external source into Wikipedia again. Thanks, C F A 💬 19:09, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- I just found two more violations on Val Wood and Katie Flynn. If you keep adding copyright content to articles, you may be blocked from editing. I don't mean to be harsh — Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. C F A 💬 19:14, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Ubivxoq - copyright violations. Thank you. C F A 💬 19:34, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello again. Am sorry about my errors. I have read the guidelines shared with me, but it seems I have overlooked some things which led to my errors. I will review all the necessary copyright guidelines before editing further. I appreciate your feedback, and I will do my best to avoid such copyright errors again. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for July 11
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Monastery of San Vicente de Oviedo, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Church. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 18:07, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Kodansha has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa (talk) 12:59, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- ok thank you. Apologies for that. I rephrased the introductory part, but the list of awards was enumerated the same order. Perhaps I should have re-arranged them. Ubivxoq (talk) 01:16, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Regardless of the copyright issue, copying a list of awards from the corporate website is not a good idea, because they can publish whatever they want on there. It's much preferred to find an independent source for each award, a source that can be used to verify that the award was actually bestowed. — Diannaa (talk) 13:36, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
