Revert at Darya Antonyuk

Hello, I recently reverted your edit to Darya Antonyuk because the source pulls information from Wikipedia - and is thus not a reliable source because it is a circular reference. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Thanks, FifthFive (talk) 23:42, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Mikeycdiamond! Your additions to Blast furnace 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. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 01:47, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Grian (Youtube) (November 16)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Tavantius was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Sadly, all of the sourcing isn't very good. Preferably replace them with as much secondary coverage as possible.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Grian (Youtube) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Mikeycdiamond! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

December 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Child labour in the British Industrial Revolution, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 04:47, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, as related to the above message about copyright, I'm seeing some text in this article that is nearly verbatim to its source. Please make sure to use your own words. Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) 04:47, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Housing in ...

I note that you're creating a series of 'Housing in ...' articles (listed in Category:Housing in the United States by state or territory). However, they're all short, and about half of the text is duplicated (making common generic statements or commenting on the broader US picture). Might it not be better to just work on improving Housing in the United States, perhaps with sections for each state or territory? That page isn't very long, and could accommodate more. Klbrain (talk) 23:36, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The idea behind what I am doing is to make a foundation for me or other people to come in later and improve on what is currently there without having to make a whole new article. I am also not the first person to start doing this (all the edit histories for the article creation credit them for the template/basis). Also, the most of the statements aren't generic, 70% of the article is data that is specific to the state. Mikeycdiamond (talk) 02:12, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
