User talk:Anon york#top

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [{{fullurl:Wikipedia:Sandbox|action=edit}} do so].
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

File:Information.svg Hello, I'm Julietdeltalima. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to :Hempcrete seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Julietdeltalima (talk) 21:20, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

File:Control copyright icon.svg Hello Anon york, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to :Hempcrete have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 here.

• 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, [http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/619/01/ hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue].) 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.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• 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 the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• 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 in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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) 13:09, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Image:Stop_x_nuvola.svg I also found you added copyvio to the following articles:

• :Hairy frog
• :Finca Bellavista
• :Food addiction
• :Whaling in Japan
• :Escazú (canton)
• :Agriculture in Costa Rica
• :Rick Strassman

Prose you find online is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the law and the copyright policy of this website to do so. All prose must be written in your own words. There's more information about copyrights and how it applies to Wikipedia at Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright. Copyright law and its application are complex matters, and you should not edit any more until you have taken the time to read and understand our copyright policy. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:30, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Image:Copyright-problem.svg Your addition to :Dead zone (ecology) has been removed, 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 more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. 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 violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. This is your final warning. Further copyright violations will result in you being blocked from editing. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:33, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Image:Information.svg 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 :ABS-CBN, 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. Hi, while you certainly did corrected some of the sentences in the article, your revision of dates and the capitalization of nationality does not follow Wikipedia guidelines. Hollyckuhno (talk) 02:41, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi, re your edits at Crassulacean acid metabolism, red wikilinks are not "dead links" as per WP:REDLINKS – they flag up articles that need to be created. This includes wikilinks to the names of organisms which don't yet have an article. If you remove them, then when the article does get created, it won't have the links it should have. Excellent to add citations, though. Peter coxhead (talk) 06:31, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Peter, I am sorry about removing the red links, I'll be more careful from now on. I have a question, have those links been restored yet? The latest version of the article seems to have the ones I removed already. Thanks.

:Yes, I put them back. Peter coxhead (talk) 21:25, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

File:Information.svg Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Teahouse, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button link=Wikipedia:How to sign your posts located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 20:37, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

I appreciate the feedback, I did not have this set up in my preferences. Thank you. --Anon_york 23:02, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Drm310 How do I know if my signature is working properly?--Anon_york 23:02, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

I looked in the preferences tab and it seems to be activated.--Anon_york 23:02, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello, please stop adding citations to random topics unless you know something about them. Bad citations that don't fully support the text they're added to or that lead to cites that copy their text from Wikipedia are worse than nothing. See my edit summaries at Coronary artery bypass surgery. Graham87 07:38, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

:Same, your edits to Nutrition. Medical and health topics have more stringent restrictions on what is acceptable for referencing WP:MEDRS. And in Cape Whitefish you added a citation that duplicated one already in the article. David notMD (talk) 12:39, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

::David notMD Graham Thanks for your feedback, sorry for the hassle caused. Anon_york 16:27, 9 October 2018 (UTC).

:::No worries. Pings don't work after-the-fact, so I'll re-ping David notMD for you. They also don't work if your signature doesn't contain a link to your user page, which yours doesn't; to fix this, uncheck the box that says "Treat the above as Wiki markup ..." in the user profile section of your preferences. Graham87 05:25, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

::: Thanks! I was wondering how to fix that. Anon_york (talk) 15:35, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
