Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Olympic Games to Commonwealth Games (your addition has since been removed). 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. 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:04, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

I reverted your edit to Commonwealth Games because you included misplaced external links. If you intended them to be references, please read Help:Referencing for beginners. --David Biddulph (talk) 21:01, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Copyright problem on Commonwealth Games

Some of the content you added to the above article appears to have been copied from https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/5248/1930-hamilton. Copying text directly from a source is a copyright violation. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed. All content you add to Wikipedia must be written in your own words. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:40, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks!

Can you complete other unfinished ceremony pages?

Flickr images

Hi Sheffieldgraduate. I noticed that you have uploaded several images from Flickr. It is best to upload Flickr images to Commons using Commons:Special:UploadWizard. Images uploaded there will appear on Wikipedia just as though you had uploaded them locally. But if you use the "Share images from Flickr" button, then Commons will automatically upload the highest resolution version and validate the license for you. For example, you had uploaded File:Carrara Stadium during the 2018 Commonwealth Games.jpeg locally and only had the 640x480 version of it. But I uploaded it to File:Carrara Stadium during the 2018 Commonwealth Games.jpg and Commons automatically gave it the highest-resolution version and if you scroll down, you will see a green box and a message that the license was automatically verified. That way, if the Flickr account ever goes away, we have a record that the license was correct when it was uploaded ... whereas if you upload it only to Wikipedia and the Flickr account goes away, we will probably have to delete the image. --B (talk) 23:21, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
