Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Lester W. Smith has been reverted.
Your edit here to Lester W. Smith was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTV6EuWOFxo&t=1s) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. music or video) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link.

Hello Eric Schucht, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Bill Harris (aviator) have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 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 the 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 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 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.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also 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) 01:07, 14 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Needs sources outside of the school to show it is a major notable publication.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Erhard Auer was the Editor in Chief of the Münchener Post, it was shut down by Hitler in March 1933 immediately after he became the Reich Chancellor. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party called the newspaper and its editors "Giftküche" (The Poison Kitchen) and "Münchener Pest ("Munich Pestilence" or "Munich Plague"). Hitler considered the paper one of his most vexing public adversaries, and the paper was the target of libel actions by the Nazi Party. The paper was one of the few early warning voices regarding the dangers posed by the rise of the Nazi Party, although their warnings went largely unheeded at the time. Auer was imprisoned in the Dachau concentration camp and died 20 March 1945. The first book written on Erhard Auer and the Münchener Post was in 2013, in Brazil. .... 0mtwb9gd5wx ( talk) 19:52, 18 September 2021 (UTC) reply

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Black Press into David Holmes Black. 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. DanCherek ( talk) 00:16, 10 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Interesting that you add journalism project - are you aware of the relationship between the newspaper and journalism projects, that it is such that there is an argument possible that you are unnecessarily adding a redundancy?

The same question could be specifically asked of the -

Ships and Shipwreck

Death and Cemeteries

There are many other similar combinations, and I cannot remember ever seeing discussions

about whether redundancies (as perceived in these circumstances) were actually resolved,

there are very few if any recognised policy/guidelines as to project tagging... unless I missed something...

I would be very interested in your take - as having done the australian items - by precedent alone - the rest of the world waits your touch... Or perhaps what the item that suggested to you the process of adding extra tags, as guidelines of adding such closely related items are non existent. Death and cemeteries for instance is an interesting double tag that is usually found.

For the note - a considerable number of the Australian newspaper articles were created before newspaper project was started. At that stage the journalism project tag was the default choice.

They were created some years ago during a nationally coordinated exercise in trying to correlate newspaper articles with items that existed in the National Library Trove collection - so that references utilising trove collected items would not be all red links. Those items used the journalism tag, as the newspaper project and tag were not available at that time.

You may well have a good reply, or even find in my edit history inconsistencies with project tagging, the interest here is to let you know the background of the group of oz arts and tagging, and possibly a point or two for discussion... JarrahTree 13:19, 27 June 2023 (UTC) reply

I agree that using both the Newspapers and Journalism WikiProject tags is redundant. In my opinion, Newspapers should just be a work group or subset of Journalism. The reason I use both is for consistency. There is no set policy that I'm aware of that says both should always be used, but I've come to find that many pages about newspaper use one or the other, but a lot of times both. I've even found some that are tagged with the Brands or Media WikiProject tags, which I find too broad. So right now I'm adding both Newspapers and Journalism because they both seem to fit these pages the best and I don't know of an alternative solution. Eric Schucht ( talk) 14:20, 27 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Thanks for your reply - I have a deep distrust of the 'media' tag after years or so of tagging...- if you have removed brands and media, thanks.

I just read Wikipedia's version or description of the Epoch Times. I find it amazing how the Epoch Times can be characterized by Wikipedia, and by yourself Eric, with such glaring inaccuracies when other truly slanted and clearly ajendized publications that interestingly enough are opposite or opposed to what the Epoch Times stands for are not characterized in the same fashion albeit opposite of. It truly shows the clear lack of any true "journalism" on Wikipedia's part. But deep inside I'm confident that you know and understand what I am saying 100%. Sad. Steven Gehrke

I am assuming that you have an interest in this publication, and I know that geographically you are far nearer that newspaper's location than I am. A question I posed on the article's talk page some time ago asked whether the organ is actually named the '''Whitehorse Daily Star'''. Certainly its online site used that title a couple of years ago. I realise that the paper no longer publishes on a daily basis, so perhaps the name has altered accordingly. I have no real interest as such, other than trying to ensure the Wikipedia article uses the correct title for the newspaper. Any thoughts ? Thanks. - Derek R Bullamore ( talk) 13:51, 18 April 2024 (UTC) reply

The newspaper was called the Whitehorse Daily Star until 2019 when they dropped the word Daily from the name after they cut back on print days. Here's my source:

OK. Thank you for that. If it is fine with you, for completion I will copy your statement over to the article's talk page. - Derek R Bullamore ( talk) 11:24, 21 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Hey Eric Schucht!

I've seen your name and your awesome work around a good deal, especially on newspaper articles, and was hoping you'd be willing to give some advice on expanding newspaper articles, especially their history.

So, I came across your edit at The Olympian - [1] - about the 2024 print decrease (you beat me to it!) - and I've been loathe to use sources that report on themselves because over at many of the WP's regarding sourcing, self-reporting isn't great. However, as you obviously know, newspapers are gonna have to report on themselves (well, outside of FoxNews and CNN constantly "reporting" how much the other sucks).

I've been wanting to expand on the historical background of The Chronicle (Centralia, Washington) - it's absorbing/buying up competition, the early newspaper history in the city - and have gathered limited sources over the years so far. Unfortunately, only in-depth reporting comes from itself (there's some from extinct newspapers in Chehalis, Washington). Could not find anything definitive in consensus discussions, so based on your expertise, is there leeway here I can be comfortable with regarding self-reporting from The Chronicle?

I'm not in any great rush to work on that Chronicle history, but my thanks if you can provide some guidance before when I think I'm ready. Again, awesome work over 17,000 edits. A bit jealous!

Hmmm, well no one has ever scolded me for using newspapers as sources on themselves. Even the page on The New York Times uses self-reported sources. You just gotta use your own judgment, I think. Otherwise most wiki pages on newspapers would be blank because they're too small for any other media outlet to care about.

As for sources on The Chronicle, I suggest looking through the paper's digital archive on newspapers.com. The other option is to try finding a local history book focusing on Lewis County. Google Books might be a good place to check for old stuff in the public domain. Eric Schucht ( talk) 23:54, 24 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Eric,

Yeah, my logical assessment as well, but man, can some editors be sticklers, though, which is why I wanted to reach out first to someone with the experience before I made a move. I do have some books set aside as well as some newpaperarchive.com stuff, but the good stuff is directly from The Chronicle. But I'll keep looking. Maybe by the summer, after I finish some other works here, I'll be ready to go.

Thanks for the link and for giving me some feedback! No doubt I'll see your name pop-up and I know it'll be great work, like usual. Again, jealous.
