Hello FacrFinderW! Your additions to Lauretta Bender, as well as to Wooden dolls, Natungram, 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.

Hello, I'm Tacyarg. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Shen Jingdong, 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. Tacyarg (talk) 19:32, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the input @Tacyarg. Will look into it & make future edits as per the referencing provided. Cheers FacrFinderW (talk) 03:29, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Peter Thomas, Baron Thomas of Gwydir, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Graham87 (talk) 16:27, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to Heron Carvic 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. Graham87 (talk) 16:27, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

I have reviewed your edits, those that Tacyarg didn't. Please stop doing newcomer tasks; your causing way more harm than good. Stick to editing things you're interested in or know about. I assume your Indian based on your edits; this makes your changes from British to American English even more surprising. I have removed your attempt to copy and paste text into the Harry Greb article from the Encyclopædia Britannica, another copyright violation, although not one you were warned about. Your edit to Banasandra was the only one I kept wholesale, though I formatted it per Wikipedia standards (especially the one-sentence paragraph you added ... which we don't do; we generally try to add things to existing paragraphs). If you continue making problematic edits, you may be blocked. But see some of the links below, especially the teahouse, where you can ask questions. Graham87 (talk) 16:27, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks @Graham87 for the inputs. Will keep the feedback in mind. Still learning the ropes in Wiki.

It is not appropriate to assume someone's nationality based on edits. I am not an Indian national, would appreciate if the feedback can be given keeping race aside.

Happy editing! Cheers FacrFinderW (talk) 03:25, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Please don't change the format of dates, as you did to Intesa Sanpaolo. As a general rule, if an article has evolved using predominantly one format, the dates should be left in the format they were originally written in, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic. Please also note that Wikipedia does not use ordinal suffixes (e.g., st, nd, th), articles, or leading zeros on dates.

For more information about how dates should be written on Wikipedia, please see this page.

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on Wikipedia. Thank you. Denisarona (talk) 07:53, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
