Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Jeremy Griffith may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Jeremy Griffith, you may be blocked from editing. From your edit history it is apparent that you are promoting materials written by Gary Clark. Please refrain from doing so. Wikipedia is not a soapbox.

Hello - I am interested in anthropology and have been posting in regards to certain theories that I have an interest in. I understand that some of my posts may have appeared as soapboxing - that was not my intention. My posts are intended to explain some of the leading research in evolution and psychology - the details of which are not readily available to the general public as the articles are behind paywalls. I intend to add some more additions on this topic. If I cross the line from providing the public with access to emerging research in the field to soap-boxing please let me know. I am an infrequent contributor of Wikipedia not entirely conversant with the appropriate protocols. It is obvious that our posts may often reflect personal interests and proclivities - but which may come across as soap boxing. So I would appreciate critical feedback - but I would also like to assure you that I am acting in good faith and the desire to give the public access to some of the cutting edge theories and debates on the convergence of evolution, anthropology and psychology.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Ardipithecus into Origin of language. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. This is regarding an edit you did back in March 2017. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 16:19, 5 January 2018 (UTC) reply

Alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hi, please put <ref> </ref> tags around each individual source. I started to do it myself but I can't tell in your formatting where one source ends and another begins. Schazjmd  (talk) 14:40, 12 June 2022 (UTC) reply

Ok - my thinking was that there are about six or seven different references which are making the point I was making. In academic writing they often put numerous refrences under one footnote or ednnote if they are making similar points. A new footnore is only needed if it is a seperate point being made. Might that be possible here - or does wiki have different protocols? If I put ref tags around each reference then each will have its own number - which with multiple refernecs that may clutter the text? I will be leaving it for tonigth but will do some more editing in the next few days...thanks for yuor help... Divinecomedy666 ( talk) 14:50, 12 June 2022 (UTC) reply
...also each reference ends with ; which is follwed by the next... Divinecomedy666 ( talk) 14:53, 12 June 2022 (UTC) reply
You might want to check out Template:Multiref2 for that purpose. The problem with the approach you took is the listings in the reference section are near unreadable for readers with everything just run together. Schazjmd  (talk) 15:00, 12 June 2022 (UTC) reply
Ok will do - thanks for your help - that will solve the issue. I intend to add more subheadings to the article over the coming weeks - hopefully after about four I would like to add a contents section and maybe some images as well. If you could suggest resources to help with that, that would be great... Divinecomedy666 ( talk) 15:06, 12 June 2022 (UTC) reply
The TOC is added automatically when the article has enough sections. I don't know what you would search on for images, but look on Commons. Good luck! Schazjmd  (talk) 15:23, 12 June 2022 (UTC) reply
