Edit summaries

Hi there, thanks for your question.

Your edit summaries look pretty good to me! So for this one for instance where you've made a few small changes but not changed the meaning, I think "copyedit" as you have it is fine. If you make changes that affect meaning, I'd probably put a bit more detail like "reworded to reflect source", "added reference", "took out advertorial language" or whatever best fits. But I think I tend towards longer edits myself which I'm sure won't work for others. There is some guidance here: WP:Help:Edit summary. Best wishes, Tacyarg (talk) 07:24, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit, 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 original 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. See for example, "center" vs "centre" and "traveling" vs "travelling" in some of your recent edits .

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Digiuserca! Your additions to Ryan Kavanaugh 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.

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. 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.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
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 either 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.
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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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. Throast (talk | contribs) 14:05, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Guide me

@Throast, DMacks, Tacyarg, Popoki35, SVTCobra, and Rchard2scout:: First of all, thank you for informing me why my edits from Ryan Kavanaugh were removed and providing me links to some major policies and guidelines of Wikipedia. Can I know is there any mentorship program that exists that guide us on how to edit, update, write content and cite Wikipedia pages? I really want to contribute to Wikipedia in my free time. So, let me know if there is any mentorship program available for newcomers. Digiuserca (talk) 05:20, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Teahouse might be a good place. Popoki35 (talk) 09:58, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you're looking for a full-time mentor, you can look at Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user/Adoptee's Area/Adopters and ask an editor there to "adopt" you. Throast (talk | contribs) 11:43, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I was going to have you start at Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user/Adoptee's Area which explains more and offers an option for a mentor to find you. Cheers, --SVTCobra 22:17, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I don't think this qualifies for WP:A7 but certainly would warrant a discussion at WP:AfD; see WP:AFDHOWTO. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 13:25, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that you can also start an AfD using Twinkle in a similar way to the A7 that you did. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 13:26, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Spiderone Thank you for guiding me about these polices of Wikipedia. I am looking for mentor. Can you adop me? Digiuserca (talk) 16:37, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy tagging

You tagged two pages as WP:G1, even though they were written in a foreign language, which is specifically excluded from G1. You tagged a draft as WP:A3, even though none of the A tags applies to draft space. Do not speedy tag any more pages. You do not have sufficient experience or judgment to do so.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:27, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bbb23 Thank you for guding me. I just stop taging pages. I'm Looking for mentor to teach me everything. Can you please adop me? Digiuserca (talk) 16:38, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I don't adopt editors. See WP:ADOPT.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:56, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Possible use of multiple accounts

Hello Digiuserca, is Swankeyy another account of yours? If so, you need to disclose this at each of your user pages and give a valid reason as to why you are using multiple accounts, see Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry. Throast (talk | contribs) 18:11, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Throast: I don't own any other account. This is the only account that I have on Wikipedia. Digiuserca (talk) 16:35, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Throast: Any reason why you think my account belongs to someone else? I have no affiliations whatsoever to any other accounts aside mine Swankeyy (talk) 02:19, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Swankeyy: For a time it seemed like you had similar editing habits. You and Digiuserca's initial edits at the Ryan Kavanaugh article were both very similar and only two days apart when, for a long time, only a small set of editors edited the page. A key difference is that you tend to edit-war and Digiuserca doesn't. That being said, looking at your contributions now, I don't think you are the same person. Throast (talk | contribs) 19:54, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Are you using a bot to make short descriptions?

Just wondering if you are using a bot to create these short descriptions, because while many of them are pretty good, some are fragments and others are very strange, like the one you placed at Fannie Lewis, which make me wonder if a human is doing this. Maybe you could be a little more careful? Thanks! Jacona (talk) 12:55, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jacona:: Not I am adding them anually. Can you please guide me how I can improve them?

2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.
