Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Hi BooleanQuackery! Thank you for your edits to Church of Scientology. It looks like you've copied or moved text from Xenu into that page, and while you are welcome to re-use the content, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied 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. If you've copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 04:59, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't aware of this policy. BooleanQuackery (talk) 05:01, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Edit-warring on Spearman's hypothesis

Hi BooleanQuackery! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. NightHeron (talk) 12:59, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi NightHeron; I did not edit-war on Spearman's hypothesis, per WP:3RR. There is a discussion which you can find here. During a dispute, one should not revert from the status quo until consensus is established. Consider inserting a tag indicating the text is under discussion instead. BooleanQuackery (talk) 18:02, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

You should read the page WP:3RR if you're going to link it: The three-revert rule is a convenient limit for occasions when an edit war is happening fairly quickly; it is not a definition of "edit warring", and it is absolutely possible to engage in edit warring without breaking the three-revert rule, or even coming close to doing so. --JBL (talk) 19:13, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in abortion. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

See Talk:Spearman's hypothesis, an article you’ve edited

You are interested in the topic and the alert applies to you. Doug Weller talk 18:24, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

I'll be sure to follow Wikipedia's policies and the page-specific restrictions either way. I just mean to say that I'm less interested in the "race/ethnicity" aspects of Spearman's hypothesis, though I know the topic in general has been connected to race/ethnicity. Thanks for the message. BooleanQuackery (talk) 18:32, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

I just read about why it's necessary to notify users. Makes sense now. BooleanQuackery (talk) 07:07, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Lack of socks

They always disappear when I put them in the wash [1] BooleanQuackery (talk) 07:19, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the laugh! That may be the first laugh I ever got at this Potterville. With at least four different mopes (including the head-mope-in-charge) tag-teaming you, they are certainly taking you seriously. Always keep in mind what they live for, in no particular order: arresting the spread of knowledge, and wasting people's time. I only come here a few times a year, and always come to regret it.2603:7000:B23E:33EE:4840:EF0A:344F:50C0 (talk) 18:02, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
