Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Disciples of Jesus in Islam into Apostles. 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. - Epinoia (talk) 15:32, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Andrew the Apostle does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

• Re: your edits at Matthew the Apostle - please remember to include edit summaries when you edit an article as per above template message - Epinoia (talk) 20:53, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Apostles in Islam

Hi - I corrected the incomplete citation to Historical Dictionary of Prophets in Islam by Noegel and Wheeler - some of the apostles had a section on Islam in their articles; for those who did not I added an "In Islam" section copied from the Disciples of Jesus in Islam article with a citation to the same Historical Dictionary of Prophets in Islam that you used, so your additions are preserved in the articles - I removed the mention of Muslim exegesis from the lead of all the articles on the apostles since Muslim writings date from the 7th century and later, so they are not reliable sources for events of the 1st century - the gospels probably date from the first century and they can't agree on the names of the apostles (see Apostles#List of the Twelve Apostles as identified by the Bible for the differences), so writings from hundreds of years later can't be used to confirm the names or identities of the apostles - if you disagree with this approach, please discuss on the Talk pages of the appropriate articles and seek consensus from other editors (see Wikipedia:Consensus and WP:BRD) - cheers - Epinoia (talk) 04:00, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Criticism of the Quran. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. You removed some text including a reference, then wrote in the edit summary that the text was "unreferenced". That's pretty disruptive. Bishonen | talk 19:14, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Peter in Islam to Disciples of Jesus in Islam (your addition has since been removed). 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. 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. If you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication.

Another, just FYI

Bbb23, I just blocked IP 77.16.73.25 for block evasion--they made pretty much the same edits. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 03:02, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

@Drmies: Thanks for the heads up.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:37, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm TheEpTic. I noticed that in this edit to Al Imran, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. TheEpTic (talk) 00:39, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
