Gaia

Hi Mockingjay555, I've reversed most of the changes you've made at Gaia, the reason being that we can't make assumptions about which Greek deities are equivalent to the Latin names given by Hyginus. All we can say in the article is what is given by the sources being used, which here are Smith and Trzaskoma's translation, and Rose's edition of the Latin. Regards, Michael Aurel (talk) 20:43, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Spacing

Please add spaces before and after parentheses. Also add language templates where you can for proper non-English language renders. For example: "North Korean National Democratic Front(북조선 민주주의 민족통일전선)" → "North Korean National Democratic Front ({{lang|ko|북조선 민주주의 민족통일전선}})" Yue🌙 16:50, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

I have encountered a few recent edits where you seem confused about adding internal links. Please take a moment to read MOS:L. There are links to help pages there as well. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:19, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

May 2024

Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, People's Progressive Movement (Barbados), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:25, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Mockingjay555! Your additions to Sabium 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 eligibility.
• 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. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:09, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
