Ways to improve Nagelfluhkette
[edit]Hi, I'm Robertgombos. Wimue, thanks for creating Nagelfluhkette!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Hello! The article looks great! I do add references when I patrol new pages but I don't not speak German, unfortunately. Could you possibly add some reliable references to your article? After doing so, feel free to PM me on the article's talk page or on my username's take page so I can patrol Nagelfluhkette if no one else will do so by then. Thanks!
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

2020 Hypo-Meeting moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, 2020 Hypo-Meeting, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Schattenburg, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Feldkirch (check to confirm | 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.)

Black Forest bibliography
[edit]Hello (talk)!
I tried to integrate the sources of the Black Forest article into their respective paragraphs. My aim was to improve the readability. Moreover, the bibliography seems to take up a lot of space – at least compared to most other articles on Wikipedia, it seems to me.
Wimue (talk) 22:23, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hmm, I think this could be a result of my importing a lot of material from German Wikipedia where there is a tendency to use inline citations less and just to put sources and further reading under bibliography. So if we can link the sources more closely to the relevant paragraphs, that's great.
- That said, I'd be reluctant to lose relevant bibliographical material; there are quite a few Wiki articles with longer bibliographies than this one. And it's a topic that will have a lot of literature written about it - even by the Romans! So can we do the linking without losing most of the bibliography? Bermicourt (talk) 13:28, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hello Bermicourt,
- linking the sources more closely to the respective parapgraphs would not only improve readability but also help the reader finding the correct and corresponding sources. So I'm not quite sure why one would want to put sources in the bibliography where there is no chance to tell what information is supported by which source, especially if there are no citations in the running text.
- Yes, there are bibliographies on the German wiki (among them quite long ones, for that matter). It is useful to have bibliographies for further reading. However, I don't see why this practice (zero citations in the running text and all sources in the bibliography) should be adopted in other wikis since in my opinion it causes more confusion than clarification.
- In the future, I won't interfere with your source policy on this site. I have to say though that it would come as no surprise to me if paragraph after paragraph, the following notification would pop up: "This article needs additional citations for verification. [...]". As far as I am concerned, topic-wise, there seem to be enough sources in the bibliography that might back up the information in the 'Geology' paragraph. Still, the notification is a sign that at least one user criticises the lack of citations in the running text.
- If I was to save the sources – or, in fact, the whole article –, I'd put the citations to the corresponding paragraphs. I won't do the work since I don't know which source corresponds to what information. Which brings me to the original problem: if the information-source relation is not clear to the reader, putting the source at the end of the article is only useful as notice for further reading but not as a citation.
- As already mentioned, I will try to improve the article by adding further information and the corresponding sources or by linking additional sources but I won't fix the existing citation issue.
- Be well, – Wimue (talk) 20:02, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
- I agree with you and, don't get me wrong, I wasn't suggesting we follow de.wiki practice which I think they're moving slowly away from anyway. I was simply explaining where it had come from. I have no problem with anyone providing inline citations; I just didn't want to lose relevant books. When creating articles from scratch, I put short inline citations in the text and the full reference in the bibliography, but I know other editors put the full reference in the inline citations. I'm easy either way, although I guess articles need to be internally consistent. HTH and stay safe. Bermicourt (talk) 17:06, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks for your contribution, I definitely agree that articles should be internally consistent. I didn't mean to sound harsh, we all just try to improve the articles. Let's keep the bibliography for the time being. Be well, – Wimue (talk) 20:04, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

[edit] Hi Wimue! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Granular cheese that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]
Hello Wimue! Your additions to Nagelfluhkette Nature Park 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. --Blablubbs (talk) 18:22, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
