Happy editing! Peaceray (talk) 16:56, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for all these links! Even for a computer programmer, the learning curb is steep, but I'm allocating a few hours each day to read, study, test. It is so nice to have your support!!! Sandi SandiJerome (talk) 19:31, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello SandiJerome! Your additions to Neighborhoods of Jacksonville 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. Nobody (talk) 07:10, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Donald Albury. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Neighborhoods of Jacksonville have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Donald Albury 14:55, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Donald Albury. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Neighborhoods of Jacksonville, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Do not insert content in front of a citation that is not supported by that citation. More generally, do not add unsourced content. Donald Albury 16:21, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits

I noticed that you marked your edit to sweet potato as a minor edit. Please review Help:Minor edit as only edits that are "superficial" such as typographical corrections should be marked as minor edits. In addition you used the same reference twice, but did not name it. You should probably read up on WP:REPEATCITE. Lastly, you should pay attention to error messages. the book citation you added was throwing an error because you added "edition" into the edition= field. It also was not correctly cited to the authors of the chapter that you presumably were citing and did not have a page number. Not being specific when citing makes it harder for future editors. I am not convinced of the value of what you added to the article, but I have left it with corrections for now. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 17:12, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, still learning Wikipedia. I will only put typos in as minor. I had thought a sentence was minor, a paragraph was more. I will read more about references. Thank you for all you do to training us little newbies! SandiJerome (talk) 10:51, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
