Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Shoji Nishio, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

If you still have questions, there is the Teahouse, or you can click here to ask a question on your talk page and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! — Diannaa (talk) 18:05, 25 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the guidelines, I appreciate it. Tamle2nd (talk) 23:17, 25 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
So I guess it's really about not paraphrasing enough, isn't it? Most the content deleted was public information. Tamle2nd (talk) 12:21, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
"Publicly available" content still enjoys copyright protection. Content you add to Wikipedia needs to be written in your own words. — Diannaa (talk) 14:41, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
I think information regarding born-dead year and final ranking/occupation of particular people cannot really be copyrighted, right? Tamle2nd (talk) 02:54, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Information is not protected by copyright, but prose is. Rankings, occupations, names of schools, job titles, date of birth, date of death, and the like do not have to be re-worded. — Diannaa (talk) 13:44, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
I want to write a Vietnamese version of Shoji Nishio. Do I need to use Vietnamese sources? His Aikido style is not very popular in Vietnam so there is very little content in Vietnamese about him or his style. Tamle2nd (talk) 10:24, 24 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Retaliatory editing is not ok

edit

Your edit on Freda Briggs was totally unjustifed and appears to be "retaliatory" for me editing an article you have created which you did not like. Lead sections of articles do not require references, as they summarise the content that is referenced in the rest of the article. Removing the entire lead section of an article is little more than vandalism. Please do not do it again - that is the kind of behaviour here that can lead you to be blocked.

  Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at David Page (musician), you may be blocked from editing. Melcous (talk) 16:14, 9 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Vandalize? That's laughable, why did you say it was vandalism? I am pretty sure that your reading level is no where near mine. So please try to explain how that was vandalism. Otherwise... Tamle2nd (talk) 16:19, 9 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

October 2024

edit

  Hi Tamle2nd! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Aikido styles several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Aikido styles, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. - Aoidh (talk) 16:36, 21 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, most of what I wrote was undone by others rather than edited or marked "citation needed". Whatever the method or reason from others, as long as there was valid point, I edited the text accordingly with edit reason clearly stated. I have no preference to undo others' edits other than making it feels like a consistent discussion. You can see in history that my edits changed in response to undo (by others) reason(s) provided, not just keeping the same text. Thanks for notifying of the policy. I wouldn't have the time for 3 revision/24 hours anyway :D.
Also, there was a text "versatile and innovative" that you considered MOS:PUFFERY. For me high ranking in multiple different linage of martial art (not the similar types) already demonstrates versality and multiple ways of distinction from mainstream already demonstrates "innovative". Those adjectives maybe subjective, I accepted that. How about the text "highly influential Seigo Yamaguchi"? It seems to me is much less clear how and why those word are not required proper supports. Is there some presumption about certain types of character or it's just the case that others editors don't care enough? Tamle2nd (talk) 01:37, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm not going to post this on the article's talk page because it's not about the article content. Though it was removed a few minutes later, your response continues a trend of asking me to answer questions I've already answered. My response unambiguously answered the question of what point was being sold there. I am under no obligation to respond in a format that you dictate, nor am I required to repeat answers ad nauseam simply because you are not satisfied with the answer. As the editor trying to introduce disputed content into an article, the onus is on you to obtain consensus through discussion which is usually obtained by explaining why the content belongs, not repeatedly demanding specific answers as to why it doesn't belong and claiming no answers to those questions were given afterwards. I have neither the interest nor any obligation to continue a discussion of that type, especially when it's laden with subtle personal attacks against me. I have answered your questions, that you continue to insist I have not is a non-starter in a productive discussion. - Aoidh (talk) 14:51, 23 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
