Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Jdash30. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Editor's index to Wikipedia
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{ helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.
Again, welcome! — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 02:32, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
William Kunstler into another page. 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.
You've been around a long time, but perhaps this issue has not come up for you before. The "another page" referred to above is User:Jdash30/sandbox. I've supplied an edit summary with the requisite attribution (and turned off the categories as articles in userspace should not appear in articlespace category lists). I realize it seems like an extra effort to follow the rules of WP:COPYWITHIN but it just takes a few words in the edit summary.

Hi Jdash30 You've recently removed an edit that I made to the Paul Kossoff article about his Russian-Jewish ancestry. I've added a section to the talk page for us to discuss it there, and just posting a note here so that you know about it. Many thanks! -- IndigoBeach ( talk) 20:23, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, many thanks for your message and reply on the PK talk page. I've replied to your comments there and aimed to keep it neutral so that we can resolve how best to include his origins and influences. All the best! -- IndigoBeach ( talk) 10:38, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
I notice your edit deleting a reference, (→Early life: dead link; no further citation.). Would you be so good as please to take a bit more care before deleting? It's true that the link you removed, http://www.interfaithfamily.com/arts_and_entertainment/popular_culture/Profile_of_Alicia_Silverstone--Daughter_of_Scottish_Mom_and_Jewish_Dad.shtml now goes to https://18doors.org/. That happens on the Internet, and does not make it dead.
- First, it's still available on the Internet Archive, as https://web.archive.org/web/20111109072512/http://www.interfaithfamily.com/arts_and_entertainment/popular_culture/Profile_of_Alicia_Silverstone--Daughter_of_Scottish_Mom_and_Jewish_Dad.shtml
- Second, a quick search on that very page, 18doors.org brings up https://18doors.org/profile_of_alicia_silverstone-daughter_of_scottish_mom_and_jewish_dad/ which I am fairly sure is that exact article, just under a new link.
I don't know who added that link originally, but I'm sure they would be disappointed to have their work deleted instead of repaired. Could you restore, and check your other similar removals if they could similarly be found rather than deleted? Thank you. -- GRuban ( talk) 22:49, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you are attempting to do, but this is coming across as WP:REFSPAM at this point. -- Hipal/Ronz ( talk) 01:52, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
