Copying without attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved content from one or more pages into Prabowo Subianto. 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. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. This edit I mean. Nobody (talk) 06:40, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

It’s my material I wrote myself. It was relevant to multiple pages. To say “attribution: me” seems either at least unnecessary and strange, or at worst some kind of self-bragging.

I am aware of the rule and apply it when adapting material written by others. Is the general trend to apply it when it is self-written material too? I thought not. JArthur1984 (talk) 13:17, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

It would save time for copyright patrollers if you put in the edit summary where you wrote it first. If it isn't obvious where you copied it from, then it also isn't obvious whose text you copied. Sure, it isn't exactly a copyright problem if you wrote it yourself, but it would be easier to identify it, with an accurate edit summary. Nobody (talk) 13:23, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Oh, thank you! I hadn’t considered that it could benefit copyright patrollers. I’ll do it. JArthur1984 (talk) 13:40, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
