Image:Information.svg Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from :International Time Bureau into :Paris meridian. 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 {{tl|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 moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:17, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited French Geodesic Mission, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Acceleration due to gravity ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/French_Geodesic_Mission check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/French_Geodesic_Mission?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello Charles, I reverted your addition of a See also section to the Benjamin Baillaud article because your edit summary gave no reason for the addition and I could find no connection that justified the inclusion. Gab4gab (talk) 15:16, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

:: Hello Gab4gab, Benjamin Baillaud is mentionned in the section Legacy of the article Carlos Ibáñez e Ibáñez de Ibero as follows : From a technical and scientific point of view, at this time, the development of wireless telegraphy hinted at the possibility of unifying Universal Time. From 1910, the astronomical clocks of the Paris Observatory sent the time to sea daily through the Eiffel Tower within a radius of 5 000 km. Following a report by Gustave Ferrié, the Bureau des Longitudes organized at the Paris Observatory a Conférence internationale de l'heure radiotélégraphique in 1912. The International Time Bureau was created and installed in the premises of the Paris Observatory. Due to World War I, the International Convention was never ratified. In 1919, the existence of the International Time Bureau was formalized under the authority of an International Time Commission, under the aegis of the International Astronomical Union, created by Benjamin Baillaud. The International Time Bureau was dissolved in 1987 and its tasks were divided between the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS). So the link between Carlos Ibáñez e Ibáñez de Ibero and Benjamin Baillaud is the International Time Bureau (1912-1987) the tasks of which where continued by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service.

Image:Information.svg Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as :Ferdinand Rudolph Hassler. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:41, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

:Thank you for your remark. I have difficulties to follow your instructions. Could you help me with an example.Charles Inigo (talk) 15:51, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

::Just add the template {{tlx|PD-notice}} after your citation. {{diff|Monge v. Maya Magazines, Inc.|prev|1056228416|Here is a simple example}}. — Diannaa (talk) 17:58, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

File:Information.svg Hello, I'm Bri. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, :Metrication, 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. Thank you. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:21, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited International Association of Geodesy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Masala.

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 06:00, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

You did not identify the source of the material in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Metre&diff=1173124023 your edit]. It appears to be Metrication. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but it must be attributed.

This type of edit does get picked up by [https://tools.wmflabs.org/copypatrol/en Copy Patrol] and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

While best practices are that attribution should be added to the edit summary at the time the edit is made, the linked article on best practices describes the appropriate steps to add attribution after the fact. I hope you will do so.

I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that need to be crossed.~~~~ S Philbrick(Talk) 12:26, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

::In fact material has been copied from the article Carlos Ibáñez e Ibáñez de Ibero. I didn't mention that material was copied because I contributed myself to the text of this article as I also did in the article metrication. Charles Inigo (talk) 14:36, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

I thought you had finished editing Prime meridian (Greenwich) but I see that my last edit and yours collided. I think my edit incorporated the correction you were making but please review. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 12:30, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

File:Information.svg Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to :History of the metre, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. On the Talk page for History of the metre there was a discussion of your additions related to Einstein. The consensus was clear: no. Re-adding those claims in a long series of edits to other parts of the article is not acceptable behavior. The only way forward for that content is to develop a consensus to add it. Johnjbarton (talk) 17:04, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

File:Information orange.svg Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at :International Bureau of Weights and Measures. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please stop adding content that is not directly on-topic for that specific article, evidently WP:DUE and not in breach of WP:SYNTH, as you did here at great and tendentious length and despite having been told repeatedly by different editors in a variety of ways that it is contrary to the very purpose, design and function of the encyclopedia.
