Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Perth metropolitan region, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
If you still have questions, there is the Teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.
I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! — Diannaa ( talk) 12:40, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
I got your points, but the article of Zhongshan Island you referred to was not all relevant, as the description of the same article in English version is contradictory to the original contents from the Chinese counterpart.
In Chinese version, if you can understand or translate it, clearly pointed out that the island no longer exists and widely regarded as part of the the mainland by conventional cognition from Chinese themselves, quoting from the Chinese version "香山島是中國宋朝之前位於珠江出海口西岸的一個島嶼,目前已和大陸相連" [Xiangshan (Zhongshan) Island was an island located in the western Pearl River Delta before the Song Dynasty of China, which is now connected with the continent.] 118.163.139.3 ( talk) 02:04, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for your recent edits to the Watershed article, and for all your work on Wikipedia.
One of those edits, though, runs counter to the result of a discussion on the article's talk page. The use of "watershed" to mean "drainage divide" is not restricted to Commonwealth countries, but is, even in North America, the most common meaning when the term is used metaphorically. So one definition is regional and the other is universal, and the universal meaning should therefore be listed first.
I invite you to read that discussion and, if you don't find it persuasive, to add your view to it. TypoBoy ( talk) 14:42, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
I notice in this series of edits you change piped links to avoid redirects and link common words and geographic expressions such as Africa and plant. Both are incorrect and contravene WP:NOPIPE and MOS:OVERLINK respectively. I was going to revert your edits but amongst them are occasional beneficial edits. Although the correct edits are in the minority I frankly couldn’t be bothered to sort it out to leave those in place so have left all your edits. But please refrain from doing this in future and review NOPIPE and OVERLINK. On NOPIPE, as a rule of thumb, if a link is blue and links to the correct article then leave it be. It doesn’t need to match an article title. Thanks. DeCausa ( talk) 07:57, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
I notice you have reverted my edit of that lists Indonesia under countries in the continent of Australia. Let me just say several things: 1) no part of Italy, mainland Spain or Portugal is located within Africa. On the other hand western Papua is an integral part of Indonesia, not an overseas department. 2) I have specified that only a part of Indonesia is located in Australia, I did not list the entirety of Indonesia as an “Australian country”. 3) Speaking of being in line with other geography articles, we do in fact list Egypt as a country [partly] in Asia and Turkey as country [partly] in Europe - even though they have the majority of their land in Africa and Asia respectively.

Dear Vic Park:
Thank you for your latest contributions to this article. However, I must respectfully disagree with the premise that the Indian subcontinent and Myanmar are not generally considered part of Asia-Pacific, as your latest edits seem to suggest. I have several sources suggesting they are in fact considered part of that region. Here they are:
https://dkiapcss.edu/about/ap-countries/
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/apac-countries
And here is a link to a Wikipedia article about the Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement. Sri Lanka, India, and Bangladesh all signed it.

Vic, Buka is part of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, which in turn is part of Papua New Guinea. Bougainville is absolutely not part of Solomon Islands, although the Shortlands used to be part of North Solomons but now part of Solomon Islands even though all these islands are within the Solomon Islands (archipelago) There is a separate article for Solomon Islands and for the Solomon Islands archipelago because they are two entirely different things. Please read both articles before changing this again. I shall leave your change for the time being but there is a very confused understanding of this region at the moment.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! — Freoh 10:57, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
Your edit to Continent has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa ( talk) 23:07, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Continent shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Kyle Anderson (basketball), disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Specifically per MOS:BIRTHPLACE is not placed with the birthyear in the lead sentence. Also, there's no evidence that he's not still American, so let's not use "American-born" instead. — Bagumba ( talk) 04:14, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi! I saw you used the name "Türkiye" as the name of the country generally known in English as "Turkey" in your recent edit.
Notice that this does not apply when we are quoting a literal name in Turkish; for example, the newspaper is called Türkiye, not Turkey. To do that would be hypercorrection, and we don't do that. Nor do we mangle the name into English in direct quotations, including titles of documents, nor in URLs. But it does apply for all uses in Wikipedia's own voice in the English language, including article titles (so the capital is Ankara, Turkey, not "Ankara, Türkiye")
If or when that general English-language usage changes (as has happened in the past with place names such as Mumbai and Beijing), the same WP:COMMONNAME policy implies that the English-language Wikipedia will necessarily also follow suit. So far, that hasn't happened.
This has been discussed many times, with the same result every time because of the common name policy. If you'd like to discuss this further, please take it up at Talk:Turkey. — The Anome ( talk) 23:24, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi Vic Park! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Christchurch 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 undo the changes to the lead. Your grammar is incorrect.

Hi, edits like this one are pretty useless, as they don't change anything for our readers. Edits without changing visible output are strongly discouraged, because not only are they irrelevant, they use bandwidth and clog up other editors' watchlists. Why someone would waste time changing "Reflist" to "reflist" is beyond me (and note that automated edit scripts will revert that particular edit and that the wikimarkup listed for insertion underneath the edit window displays this with a capital...)
