[edit] Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, List of United States fighter aircraft, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it has been moved to where you can continue to work on it. Please consider using the Article Wizard or the Articles for Creation procedure. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read "Your first article". You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 15:46, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
Cut and paste move
[edit] Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into List of United States fighter aircraft. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Liz Read!

Changing wording
[edit]I noticed that you are changing wording on many articles. Be careful that you do not change the meaning of the sentence unless you are bringing it in line with the sources. In this edit, you changed the wording in a way that implied that the 30 submarine kills were shared, while the original wording made no such implication. - ZLEA T\C 21:10, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
Is there any reason why you are shortening the wording of articles? There is usually no need to do this. - ZLEA T\C 21:17, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, BeeboMan. I noticed that your recent edit to Yakovlev Yak-25 (1947) added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 04:05, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, I was using an image that was from the Vietnamese version of Wikipedia. BeeboMan (talk) 18:37, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
New articles
[edit]You might want to add any aviation articles you start to Wikipedia:New articles (Aircraft). This makes them more visible to editors who might want to help improve them. - ZLEA T\C 05:09, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Real Engineering (Youtube Channel)
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Real Engineering (Youtube Channel) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

- Hm ok, I'll keep in the sandbox to improve it then. BeeboMan (talk) 00:12, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
Mustang
[edit]You might want to double check before making edits such as this. Mustang is an article on the horse, not a redirect to North American P-51 Mustang. - ZLEA T\C 00:29, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
[edit] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into List of United States military helicopters. 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. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:19, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi, just wanted to let you know that I've removed the copy-paste tag because it's a backwards copy. Additionally, please make sure that the sources you are using are reliable. The book you cited, World War 2 In Review No. 45, is published by lulu.com, a self publishing book publisher. Unless written by an expert, self published media is generally prohibited as a source. Thanks for your work, though! ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 23:40, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:List of United States fighter aircraft

Hello, BeeboMan. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "List of United States fighter aircraft".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Speedy deletion nomination of CB-470
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/48px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on CB-470 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.saairforce.co.za/the-airforce/weapons/37/cb-470-cluster-bomb. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Pichpich (talk) 17:25, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for letting me know, I have just changed the wording of the article to alleviate the issue. BeeboMan (talk) 17:48, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- BeeboMan, I'm afraid that changing a few words of a copy-pasted non-free text does not solve the problem. The site you took that content from is clearly marked "© Copyright 1996 - 2024 The Unofficial Website On The South African Air Force. All Rights Reserved. ... Site By Active Ice". I've now removed the remaining copyvio and moved the charred remains to draft space (please see below). Are there any other pages where you have copied material from non-free external sources? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:46, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for your contributions to CB-470. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and there's essentially nothing left after removal of the copyvio; the only source cited is not the South African Air Force, but some random person's "unofficial" page on it. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:41, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, I did not notice it was unofficial! Sorry about that! Not sure I can ever publish it because the only other online source (website) is from DesignationsSystems.net (I am uncertain about its reliability). Have a good day! BeeboMan (talk) 11:46, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Fishing industry in Puerto Rico. 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) 14:11, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
