Hello, wondered if you could revisit this edit as the date in the reference is invalid. Thanks. Keith D ( talk) 14:49, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
Well spotted - thanks -- Geneus01 ( talk) 17:37, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
@ BrownHairedGirl:Hi BrownHairedGirl - I am still very new to creating my own articles, which in the sandbox exist in various states of development. I was particularly intrigued by your turning off the categories I had started with (birth and death years). Why was that? Does it load the system even before it gets to be in a public place? Geneus01 ( talk) 19:15, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Hello Geneus01, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Gordon Philip Bowker have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) 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.
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) 14:45, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
@ Diannaa: Noted with thanks – I had a (false) mindset that as Wikipedia articles are derived from secondary sources, that you could lift whole sections so long as they are properly attributed – but I see that was not enough (I had got lazy and effectively plagiarised). I’m sorry you had to pick this up but grateful that you did (for my learning).... much to learn.... Geneus01 ( talk) 19:51, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
You have recently inserted a number of wikilinks into existing articles which point to an existing Draft article. Please do not do this. All the additions have been reverted. Articles may only be linked once they have been reviewed and accepted into mainspace. Thank you. Velella Velella Talk 09:02, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sonata on the 94th Psalm, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hyperion. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello, Geneus01,
Thank you for creating George Harold Winterbottom.
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
Thank you for this well developed article: would you mind expanding the lede to encompass more of the points in the prose?
