Disambiguation link notification for March 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Coraline (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Void. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wikipedia and copyright

Control copyright icon Hello Edwin trinh14, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Murder of Sylvia Likens have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • 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 can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 13:10, 5 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Murder of Junko Furuta. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed.

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Murder of Sylvia Likens shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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. See BRD for 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. -- GouramiWatcher Talk 07:08, 2 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Lashon Hara

Regarding this edit. Don't you think that "speaking evil of others" would be a better translation of "lashon hara"? Debresser ( talk) 17:08, 10 March 2019 (UTC) reply

It literally says "thou shalt surely rebuke thy neighbour, and not bear sin because of him in the source link. I.e. reprimand/rebuke someone if they try to bring up your sins to solely hurt/defame you, being a talebearing nuisance as indicated by the context of the chapter, even if it's true (according to the Lashon Hara principle), thus you don't "bear them". -- Edwin trinh14 ( talk) 04:40, 11 March 2019 (UTC) reply

I'm just generally obsessed with this case ever since watching The Girl Next Door, which mortified me. Edwin trinh14 ( talk) 00:41, 8 March 2021 (UTC) reply

That movie (or "film" as is used term-wise generally here in England) is unreliable as a source as not only does it source from a novel, but the novel itself does this case and Sylvia a disservice as it makes this case almost snuff. I'm not sayin' more. No offence, but this is a flaw you have revealed, unintentional I'm sure. There are no shortage of reliable sources. Neither of us wish, I am sure, to be given warnings. If I step on your toes too much (or vice versa), disputes can be taken to the Teahouse.-- Kieronoldham ( talk) 00:50, 8 March 2021 (UTC) reply

You mentioned it as a source of "obsession". I never used this admission in viewing your edits (I only just read this fact). There were errors in some of your edits and I am not just referring to spacing issues between text and references or full stop issues. For both of us, I think an outside opinion would be beneficial. Wikipedia talk:Teahouse? :) Seriously. Key.-- Kieronoldham ( talk) 01:03, 8 March 2021 (UTC) reply
To be completely honest, there are lots of sources about this case and some of them are quite contradictory. That being said, I mainly rely on John Dean's book and even then, I'm not 100% sure if his book is completely accurate. I'd have to look into the court trial documents but they're pretty hard to access. Edwin trinh14 ( talk) 03:39, 8 March 2021 (UTC) reply
There used to be an official website about this case, but it vanished from the web around a year ago. I have suspected the book is slightly embellished myself, but it is still a reliable source.-- Kieronoldham ( talk) 16:49, 8 March 2021 (UTC) reply

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Origin of the Palestinians into Canaan. 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. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa ( talk) 01:51, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply

East Asian mtDNA in Ashkenazi Jews

AngelusVastator3456, I am writing to you because this relates to the section "East Asian ancestry" that you added on 27 January 2024‎ to the Ashkenazi Jews entry. Citing a good 2015 study that, however, only investigated M33c in any depth and only mentioned the other two in passing, you wrote that "Ashkenazi Jews also share some East Eurasian haplogroups, such as N9a, A, and M33c, with Chinese populations. This originates from their economic and cultural exchanges along the Silk Road."

Several editors of the related page Khazar hypothesis of Ashkenazi ancestry have purposely suppressed the latest genetic evidence for Khazar ancestry in Ashkenazi Jews. You may wish to read the two relevant discussion sections at Talk:Khazar_hypothesis_of_Ashkenazi_ancestry which were added in December 2022 and June 2023. In fact, the specific branches of N9a and A to which Ashkenazim belong, named N9a3a1b1 and A-a1b3a1 respectively by YFull MTree, are not of Chinese origin but have Turkic matches directly upstream. The Chinese matches are more distant. N9a3a1b1 was discussed within two peer-reviewed studies in 2022. 2600:1000:B16B:CAA1:252E:F64F:E993:C224 ( talk) 10:39, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Book of Esther, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page God of Israel.

Information icon 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! Rsk6400 ( talk) 08:00, 13 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Please stop being so lazy

As I have preciously mentioned, you need to define your sources when using sfn or harv references. I've just fixed a load on Israelites which you didn't bother to do yourself. DuncanHill ( talk) 19:44, 21 March 2024 (UTC) reply
