This is my user talk page. What does tag 2017 mean? I have tried looking for it in the help pages,

Welcome, the 2017 wikitext editor tag refer to the editor you're using, in this case the wikitext editor with the toolbar from the visual editor. Feel free to tag me if you're curios about about anything else here on Wikipedia using {{reply to|Trialpears}}! Trialpears 21:29, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

thank you to the young man from Sweden. Now I am trying to figure out how to remove a bad reference (it is almost empty) on the Hayden Lockhart page. I have studied the Wikipedia help advice on removing a reference, but I still cannot figure out how to do it. When I try to edit it out, the software tells me that it is in a template and it can only be edited in source code.

In source code it only say refs, no list that I can find. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Toandanel49 (talk • contribs) 15:19 2 May 2019 (UTC)

References do not actually appear in the reference section in the source code. They usually appear in their full form the first time the reference is used looking something like this: <ref name=":1">{{Cite book|title: Source1|etc}}</ref>. Each time a citation is reused it appears in a short form such as <ref name=":1" />. The problem in this case is that the weirdly defined citation isn't actually defined at all; only being reffered to by the short hand for the second time you use the same source. To remove these empty references just remove them from the source code, in this case it's the reference named ":0". Hope that helps! Trialpears 16:06, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Butler & Lockhart 7-6-66.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Butler & Lockhart 7-6-66.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:52, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

June 2019

Hello. Your recent edit to Salinas, California appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 23:38, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Adding him back over and over won't make him notable. Please see WP:USCITIES#Notable people. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 12:56, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Salinas, California, you may be blocked from editing. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:43, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

I am new to this, I was not being malicious, Hosford is a nationally known singer, the first time my edit went away I thought I had not entered his name correctly so I put it back (once) then Magnolia677 took it out and said to review the guidelines of notability, which I did. I put Larry Hosford's name back in with two references (citations) and then I was threatened with being blocked. I am new to this and I was shocked and discouraged by being called malicious for trying to do it correctly. Toandael49 (talk) 10:22, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

The link I sent you said:

To be included in a list of notable people, individuals must still meet the notability requirements per WP:PEOPLE. A fast and easy way to establish this is if they already have an article written about them on Wikipedia, since it would have never been approved, or would have been deleted, if they did not meet notability requirements. This is not the sole rationale for inclusion, since some people who might meet notable standards may not have an article, but it is a quick reference. If challenged, additions without their own article should be removed and discussed on the talk page of the city, until a consensus is reached.

I would suggest you either create a Wikipedia article about Larry Hosford, or put forward a rationale for including him. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:40, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Yours was a very common mistake, and trying to re-add a name to a notable persons list with references is a very common follow-up mistake. Now that the rule has been properly explained, I expect you will not repeat the mistake, and there is no black mark against your editing going forward. David notMD (talk) 10:49, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Thank you David for your kind words. They made all the difference. It was very confusing to be told to be bold and edit, and then threatened with being blocked so quickly. I actually did not know where I was supposed to answer the accusation, which is why it took me several days to reply as I read through reams of Wikipedia help instructions. Toandael49 (talk) 11:08, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Adding him back once would not have gotten you a warning that included a reference to blocking. Your failure to WP:AGF in regards to Magnolia's and my edits removing your addition is what earned you that. Did you think that two editors who combined have nearly 200,000 edits and 17 years experience were going to gang up on you to prevent you from adding needed information? Because that is what your actions indicated. If someone tells you that you are doing something wrong, stop doing it. It isn't complicated. BTW, catagories belong on your userpage not your talk page. John from Idegon (talk) 17:26, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Please read up on how we cite content on WP before adding books, articles, or external links to the top of pages, body of text, or external links sections of articles. Make sure that the source you add cites the exact text you are sourcing, contributes to the reliability of the article, and is being added in a way that is in alignment with the format we use for articles.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Toandanel49, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Melvin T. Mason 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• 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 the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• 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 in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 💵Money💵emoji💵^{Talk💸Help out at CCI!} 13:45, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

"Mistakes" cleanup

A word of advice

Re your work at Louis Vitale, please try to avoid writing articles as a series of lists (with or without list markup). Generally (there are exceptions), lists should only be used for reference material and sections such as "See also". --NSH001 (talk) 08:29, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you very much, I will do that. Toandanel49 (talk) 12:34, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes, that is much better. A couple of points on article headings (see MOS:HEADINGS):

1. Headings should be written in sentence case (i.e., only the first word is capitalised, except for proper names). So "life and education" should read "Life and education".
2. The first heading in an article should always be at level 2 (== .... == markup). I fixed this one for you in my edit yesterday. In fact this is a special case of headings going down one level at a time, and only one level at a time, since the article title itself is considered to be at level one. (Again there are exceptions, but they are very rare in this case.) Needed for accessibility (see MOS:ACCESS), but it also makes for good article organisation.

--NSH001 (talk) 06:16, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

On Hanna von Hoerner – since you asked me on my talk page – "See also" is intended for a list of wikilinks to other articles that may be of interest to readers of the article. Yes, see WP:SEEALSO! So you should remove the "See also" heading, but remember to adjust the heading levels accordingly, as I outlined above. --NSH001 (talk) 06:30, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you very very much for your advice, I am going to go back over the articles that I have worked on to adjust the headings correctly. You have been very helpful. Editing Wikipedia is like trying to get a drink of water from a fire hose. too much so fast, but exciting and interesting for a retired nurse (yours truly.Toandanel49 (talk) 12:41, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Elizabeth McAlister, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Trident submarine (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Toandanel49/sandbox/Ortiz

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Toandanel49/sandbox/Ortiz requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

	Women in Red 8th Anniversary
	In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!
