Copying and pasting discussions[edit]

Hello! Just a quick question for you. In a recent edit summary on the Talk:Rey (Star Wars) page, you said, "Please don't copy-paste discussions from one talk page onto another. A link to the other discussion is typically more than sufficient in almost all cases." The reason I copied the discussion was because it took place on the Teahouse, where discussions get archived frequently. Once they're archived, a link to them doesn't work anymore. Or maybe I'm not aware of how to link to them properly? Please let me know if that's the case! Wafflewombat (talk) 05:32, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can link to the archive page once a post has been archived pretty much the same way you can link to any other page. In this case, your TH question can be found at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive 1226#Uploading new image. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:50, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Usage of copy-paste[edit]

So, you went to my talk page, and said to not copy paste as a reminder. My only usage of copy-pasting is when writing:

Titles. (I use copy-paste to take titles and put them on my edits of pages, such as when i added "This surge in popularity may have been partially from the Youtube video by the name of [japanese symbols here] (Mesmerizer)" to Kasane Teto's page. Mesmerizer is the translation of the japanese symbols, and due to using a danish keyboard, I could not use these japanese symbols as text, so I Copy-pasted them from the page on Youtube.)

Links. (On the same page and edit, I added a link to the video and song on Youtube, which copy-paste makes way easier. I hope you understand. this. Sleepyfellow03 (talk) 19:20, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sleepyfellow03: The template I added to your user talk page wasn't about you copying and pasting content or copying and pasting Japanese symbols from a YouTube page; it had to do with you adding unsourced content to an article. You added a claim to the article Kasane Teto related to an interpretation that wasn't supported by citation to a secondary reliable source. A interpretation/claim that begins with This surge in popularity may have been partially from the Youtube video ... needs to be supported by a citation to a secondary reliable source in order for it to not be considered original research. I hope you understand this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:36, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
