@Pigsonthewing Hi! Thanks for the encouragement. Yes, I definitely would like to continue on this community, and perhaps even help improve it. I am still familiarizing myself with the guidelines so your links are very helpful. Thanks again, if I have any doubt in the future I will keep the Teahouse in mind :).

Hello! I'm StefenTower. Your recent edit(s) to the page Hunter S. Thompson appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. 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. Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 21:19, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Stefen, yes, it was a typo. I wrote 63 instead of the correct 73. Its already corrected. FranGallego33 (talk) 18:10, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the correction. Unfortunately, I'm not able to read minds, and the first addition had the appearance of some kind of disruptive edit. Cheers! Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 18:22, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Ofc! thanks for the help FranGallego33 (talk) 18:48, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello FranGallego33! Your additions to Lev Gatovsky 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, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's elegibility.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing.

LG article

Repeating refs is preferred to putting a ref just once at the end of a long paragraph, or worse, several paragraphs, or worse! a section title. The reason is that over time, other editors may add and reference more content within a long paragraph, or move stuff. View history can be used to 'rescue' what someone else cut. I often move content into my Sandbox, work there, reference there, then paste into article. Even for experienced editors, Wikipedia rules can be frustrating. Earlier this year I made more than 200 edits to Vitamin C in attempt to raise it from Good Article rating (my work, 2017, one of 19 articles I have raised to GA) to Featured Article rating, only to have the FA review team opine 'not good enough'. I hope that you will decide to continue to contribute to Wikipedia, and in time find the rules and guidelines less onerous. David notMD (talk) 13:56, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello David,

yes I understand now. I'll also try to make more edits but shorter in content, so its also easier to reverse or edit them without removing the whole entry.

Its surprising to hear what you tell me about the Vitamin C page, it definetely looks more than good. Now I begin to understand why there is so much posted info related to solving online arguments between users...

I definetely need to learn about the different categories of pages, sounds like a fun thing to devote the energy to. The DYK indications, for example, are being very helpful to learn. I'll keep adding (well cited) content until I run out of sources, I have high hopes for this page.

Thanks as always. FranGallego33 (talk) 15:34, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
