Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Austria-Hungary into Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867. 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. 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. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 02:31, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Achev locomotives

Do you have any information on these? I can find nothing. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:10, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Again?

I see you were warned earlier by @Diannaa: for copying without attribution. You did it again with these edits. You must learn how to do it correctly. Please ask, if you do not know.--S Philbrick(Talk) 14:27, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Reverting my removal of a copyvio and calling it vandalism is NOT the way to go. Please figure it out, or ask if you do not know, otherwise, you will be blocked.--S Philbrick(Talk) 23:41, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Hungarian Soviet Republic

Szia,

miután visszaállítottad a korábban törölt tartalmat, közben az én javításaimat is annuláltad, gondolom nem szándékosan. Mivel nem akarok belezavarni a folyamatba, és a ha egyetértesz, akkor magad javítsd ki az alábbi két dolgot:

-

  Controlled by the Societ Republic of Hungary

-> Soviet

- and their only real intention is the spreading of communist ideology and the establish of communist states in Europe, thus they even -> establishment

Egyébként tetszenek a színvonalas szerkesztéseid, csak így tovább!

Üdv (KIENGIR (talk) 21:33, 12 August 2016 (UTC))

Az egész Austria-Hungary cikket én írtam vagy 10 néven, csak ha újratelepítem a gépet, vagy utazok, akkor nem törődök a jelszavakkal, így új nicket regisztárlok mindig.--Enginerfactories (talk) 06:01, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Inserting opinion into articles

The claim you seem to be indiscriminately inserting/copy-pasting in multiple articles[1][2][3][4][5] re: importance (and priority) of the Ganz AC technology/constant voltage generator - you seem to be writing from a single POV without citing reliable sources that support that opinion. Also, as others have noted above, you should note the source article when copying from one article to another. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 12:27, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

I don't want to be offensive, but....

It is obvious that the opinion of the American Society for Engineering Education (Book title 1995. Proceedings, Part 2) , the opinion of Robert L. Libbey (member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers scientific society) and Scott McPartland more important and reliable source than the private opinion of a Wikipedia editor like you. Have a nice day.Enginerfactories (talk) 13:06, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

You seem to be missing the point. None of those sources point to the Ganz/generator development as being significant re: the War of Currents. McPartland does not mention Ganz, Libbey does not mention War of Currents, and the American Society for Engineering Education mention is not in the War of Current section and covers many innovations. Combining many sources together and using them to make a statement not found in any of those sources is WP:SYNTHESIS. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 18:40, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

Again read this results carefully: https://books.google.com/books?id=g07Q9M4agp4C&pg=PA96&dq=%22constant+voltage+generator%22+ganz&hl=hu&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjFhNvhtPbOAhXDDpoKHdZzA3oQ6AEIIzAA#v=onepage&q=%22constant%20voltage%20generator%22%20ganz&f=falseEnginerfactories (talk) 19:37, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

Read two pages down (98), American War of Currents started with innovations based on Gaulard by Westinghouse engineer William Stanley Jr., not Ganz. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 01:59, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

Americans had not contribution/inventions in AC technology in the 1880s. Moreover the AC technology also born in Europe. Westinghouse still produced DC systems, when Ganz produced only AC systems since 1878.

In 1878, the Ganz factory, Budapest, Hungary, began equipment for electric lighting and, by 1883, had installed over fifty systems in Austria-Hungary. Their AC systems used arc and incandescent lamps, generators, and other equipment. Guarnieri, M. (2013). "Who Invented the Transformer?". IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine. 7 (4): 56–59. doi:10.1109/MIE.2013.2283834

Moreover, Westinghouse company was not in the pro AC camp, until their agent didn't visited the Ganz Works:

Again, the sources show there were many players, not just Ganz, and indicate the War of Currents was precipitated by transformer development, not a Ganz generator improvement. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 13:51, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

There were not many players, because nobody produced and designed in industrial scale AC systems in the 1970s and early 1880s, only the Ganz company. So it is not a wonder that Ganz had many advantages in AC technology.Enginerfactories (talk) 17:28, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
