Interested in becoming a regular contributor to Wikipedia? Create an account! Your , so you might receive messages on this page that were not intended for you.To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free. (Note: Sometimes, due to vandalism, you may be temporarily unable to register). Applying an indefinite block to this IP is not appropriate, unless it is a soft block, because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different, unrelated, and unsuspecting user, thereby impairing access to Wikipedia in an inappropriate fashion. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking. The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range. Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.
Review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock. Network administrators, to monitor this IP address for vandalism, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format. |

September 2020[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Toots Hibbert has been reverted. Hello, I'm Oshwah. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Toots Hibbert because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia.

Talkpage conduct[edit]Please stop leaving assignments for other editors to accomplish on talkpages. If you think something needs to be done, please do it yourself. And don't ask editors to dox people, as you did at Talk:Nick Fuentes. Acroterion (talk) 17:34, 20 February 2021 (UTC) February 2021[edit] Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Howard Stern. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Hipal (talk) 20:19, 26 February 2021 (UTC) WikiProject Chemicals/Article alerts[edit]I see that you've edited Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chemicals/Article_alerts a couple of times now.

Regards, goose121 (talk) 05:14, 17 April 2021 (UTC) April 2021[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Maria Hinojosa, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Cassiopeia(talk) 05:23, 17 April 2021 (UTC) Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages (including user talk pages) such as Talk:George Floyd are for discussion related to improving (a) an encyclopedia article in specific ways based on reliable sources or (b) project policies and guidelines. They are not for general discussion about the article topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Please cite reliable sources when making claims about people. —Bagumba (talk) 13:20, 25 April 2021 (UTC) If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

October 2021[edit]Thanks for your suggestion. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to change it. We encourage you to be bold in updating pages, since wikis like ours develop faster when everybody edits. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. You can always preview your edits before you publish them or test them out in the sandbox.

Pietro Aretino
[edit]I replied to your comment on Pietro Aretino's talk page. I don't know whether placing an @ sign before my comment caused you to receive an email. Maurice Magnus (talk) 17:48, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
I emailed Xavier Salomon: As a scholar of both Veronese and Aretino, you may be uniquely qualified to comment on the following. In a documentary video, Peter Greenaway states that Aretino is portrayed in Veronese’s The Marriage of Cana and that Aretino might be said to have been Veronese’s “scriptwriter” for the painting, since Veronese closely followed Aretino’s text. (He doesn’t say what text.) The video is at Peter Greenaway. The Marriage. on Vimeo. He discusses Aretino from 9:18 to 10:29 and from 18:40 to 18:45. Is Greenaway right? If so, I’ll add it to Aretino’s Wikipedia entry.
Salomon replied: I think Greenaway is wrong on both counts. I don’t think Aretino had anything to do with Veronese’s Marriage at Cana, and he does not appear in it. There is absolutely no evidence for this and it also makes historically little sense. Maurice Magnus (talk) 11:37, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
Interesting! Thank you for your seriousness of investigative research. Greenaway must have gotten the idea from somewhere, though. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 21:31, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- The explanation for Greenaway's idea might be what Xavier Salomon says in note 25 of Pietro Aretino. Maurice Magnus (talk) 00:22, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Raising essentially the same issue on multiple noticeboards and talk pages, or to multiple administrators or reviewers, or any one of these repetitively, is unhelpful to finding and achieving consensus. It does not help develop consensus to try different forums in the hope of finding one where you get the answer you want. (This is also known as "asking the other parent".)

When adding to requested articles, you must provide reliable, independent sources at the end of the request, or the requests will be removed. Take a look at how other requests on these pages are formatted, with links to sources at the end of the request, for examples of how to do this. Thanks!

Double contrabass flute war
[edit]You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Double contrabass flute. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Aamri2 (talk) 02:35, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]Hello 173.88.246.138! Your additions to Harry Lee (sheriff) 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, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Grumpylawnchair (talk) 14:11, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
