HiMerry medievalist! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Be our guest at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Wikipedia and get help from peers and experienced editors. I hope to see you there! I JethroBT (I'm a Teahouse host) |
Hello Merry medievalist, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Ernest Gordon 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.
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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:57, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to Zorro, The Gay Blade have been removed because you cited the information you added to IMDb. As discussed at WP:RS/IMDb, IMDb is considered a questionable source, and generally should not be used as a sole reference. You are welcome to re-add the information using a different reliable source, or with an additional source confirming the information from IMDb. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 14:45, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Plot descriptions cannot be copied from other sources, including official sources and IMDb, unless these can be verified to be public domain or licensed compatibly with Wikipedia. They must be written in original language to comply with Wikipedia's copyright policy. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:01, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to The Great Race, 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. Binksternet (talk) 17:25, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Merry Medievalist. I notice you have recently put lots of hard work into good faith edits expanding a number of short or incomplete "Plot summary" sections in film articles.
Just want to direct you to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Film#Plot, which adds some guidance on writing these summaries, including "Plot summaries for feature films should be between 400 and 700 words" and "The plot summary is an overview of the film's main events, so avoid minutiae like dialogue, scene-by-scene breakdowns, individual jokes, and technical detail". Your recent summaries – such as your 2,400-word "summary" for the previously 200-word (definitely was a bit short) The Enchanted Cottage (1945 film), your 2,200-word "summary" for the previously 170-word (definitely had some room to expand) Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939 film), or your 3,000-word summary for the previously 600-word (a proper size) Black Narcissus – must have taken immense time and effort on your part. While this is a true dedication to the articles, it far surpasses the limits set out in Manual of Style (MOS), using 20 films' worth of words on just three films.
I reverted some of these WP:PLOTBLOAT items, and marked some others with "Template:Long plot". I hope you might take some time to readjust your information within the guidance of the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Film#Plot, and point out that your research is not lost, as you can use the "View History" option to see your previous expansions, providing you material to pull from if you do go back to do a a bit of expansion within the MOS guidelines. One tip to give you more words to use in the "Plot" section, is that the names of the actors playing the roles go into the "Cast" section; this will give you an additional 20 to 30 words of substance to add to the plot summary.
Your recent work on The Conquerors (1932 film) is a terrific example of the overall goal for any editor, taking a 400-word summary and adding clarity, detail and corrections that improved the article's summary considerably, while staying inside the 700-word normal limit.
I only wish I, or some other editor, had noticed earlier and given you this information, before you put what must have been a tremendous amount of time into all these over-expanded "summaries". Thanks again for your enthusiasm and dedication to the Wikipedia project. Jmg38 (talk) 06:27, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Zhejiang-Jiangxi campaign into Doolittle Raid. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 17:28, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I saw your attempt to deal with a problem and it didn't quite work out. Being behind a WP:PAYWALL is not an issue. Adding a comment as a reference was the wrong way to go. There are some other templates to deal with problematic references (e.g. {{Dead link}}) or text (e.g. {{Clarify}}). This might help: [1] Happy editing.

You removed http://www.classicfilmguide.com/indexb1d7.html and http://scifilm.org/musing2175.htmlatMiracle in the Rain. But both of these articles persist at the Internet Archive, and Wikipedia recommends that you use those archived pages rather than deleting the dead links. You can read these two dead pages as they appeared when they were still live; at https://web.archive.org/web/20150320030704/http://www.classicfilmguide.com/indexb1d7.html and https://web.archive.org/web/20160303234309/http://scifilm.org/musing2175.html, respectively.
To cite a page from the Wayback Machine, see Help:Using the Wayback Machine#Using the webarchive template.
To find the page in the Internet Archive, go to https://archive.org/ and enter the complete URL in the WayBackMachine box. After an excessive number of seconds passes, if the Archive holds the page, it will put up a sort of calendar. Pick a date and it will put up another calendar. Pick a highlighted date and it will put up a time. Click on the time, and you will see your dead page. Note that very late instances might instead give you a dead page error -- the page in question is already declaring itself dead, and was archived in that sad condition. Pick and earlier page instead.
I'm not sure I have the sequence perfect but give it a whirl, figure it out, and please don't remove dead links without checking this. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 04:54, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Merry medievalist. Thanks for reducing the plot summary of Confessions of a Nazi Spy. I've put the tag back on it because I think it is still too long. Please don't take that personally.

Hello, I'm MichaelMaggs. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Busman's Honeymoon, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

Hi Michael,
You recently reverted an addition I made to Busman's Honeymoon because it “lacked a reliable source” . The reliable source was the Wikipedia article about the series. I have copied the entry below so you can follow the link.
In 7 years editing Wikipedia , this is the first time I have seen anyone suggest that it was necessary to add a formal citation of a WP page in addition to the internal links to Wikipedia articles. If that is true, a vast number of paragraphs need to be revised, including the one to which I appended this information, which relies on the link to Edward Petherbridge's WP article.
“(Petherbridge starred as Lord Peter in A Dorothy L. Sayers Mystery, a 1987 televised adaptation of all the Harriet Vane novels except Busman's Honeymoon. The BBC could not obtain the rights. )” Merry medievalist (talk) 02:34, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am also curious to know why you reverted the text instead of employing a “citation needed” note. I would never do that unless the text concerned was problematic in some other way. Merry medievalist (talk) 07:42, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Merry medievalist You're right, and I've reverted myself. I think I saw the unsourced statement "The BBC could not obtain the rights" without noticing that A Dorothy L. Sayers Mystery was in blue and was a thus a link to a separate page where the information could be found. Apologies. MichaelMaggs (talk) 09:37, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply] Thank you!
