Disambiguation link notification for November 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Silverbird Group, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Silverbird Cinema. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Cinema of Nigeria into Draft:Portal:African cinema/Selected article/46. 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. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 00:15, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello LavenderDemo! Your additions to Med Hondo 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, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:13, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Request to implement CleanupWorklistBot

Hi, I have received both emails. The first email did not ask for any assistance. I prefer to be contacted on my talk page. CleanupWorklistBot only works on English wiki WikiProjects. If there is an enwiki WikiProject or task force that you would like have CleanupWorklistBot produce a report for, just let me know. --Bamyers99 (talk) 21:28, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Categories

Hallo, thanks for trying to improve Akofa Edjeani Asiedu, but I have removed the category Category:Ghanaian Actress which you tried to add. There are several problems.

1. It doesn't exist: you must only add categories which exist. It showed up as a red link.
2. The category you were trying to add is probably Category:Ghanaian actresses. Plural, and not using capital letters except for the first letter and proper nouns.
3. But as she is already in categories Category:Ghanaian film actresses, Category:20th-century Ghanaian actresses and Category:21st-century Ghanaian actresses, we don't put her into the more general "parent" category.

There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia, but it's an interesting journey: Happy Editing! PamD 17:50, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

I see you have re-added the parent category Category:Ghanaian actresses, although I explained above that this is not appropriate when she is already in Category:20th-century Ghanaian actresses and Category:21st-century Ghanaian actresses. Please stop doing so. PamD 21:27, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

I see that you have added Category:Ghanaian actresses or Category:Ghanaian male actors incorrectly to dozens of articles today, since my post here where I pointed out that this was wrong (all the ones I have looked at are already in more specific categories such as Category:21st-century Ghanaian male actors). Please stop doing this, and revert these edits. If you continue to add parent categories like this I will report you to WP:ANI with a view to getting you blocked so that you stop doing so. See WP:CATSPECIFIC: "This means that if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on) then it is not normally placed directly into C." PamD 21:37, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

And similarly, if you add a more specific category like Category:Senegalese male actors, please remember to remove the parent category Category:Senegalese actors. Thanks. PamD 07:00, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
