Copying within Wikipedia
edit Hi Wake it up! Thank you for your edits to 1st century. It looks like you've copied or moved text from one or more pages into that page, and while you are welcome to re-use the content, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied 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
. If you've copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 02:14, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
September 2021
editYour edit to IALD International Lighting Design Awards has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to remove maintenance templates without resolving the problem that the template refers to, as you did at IALD International Lighting Design Awards, you may be blocked from editing. Eostrix (🦉 hoot hoot🦉) 11:10, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
Affirmative. Thank you! I’m waiting for a final result. 2405:9800:B840:7833:6C50:DBA:242E:644A (talk) 11:13, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
An article you recently created, SCB X, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Disambiguation link notification for September 29
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited International Association of Lighting Designers, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Nikkei and First Presbyterian Church. 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.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:01, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
ArbCom 2021 Elections voter message
editThe article Jarupong Thongsin for Democracy Award has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Can't find enough in-depth coverage of this award to show it passes GNG. Would have redirected to the university, but it is not mentioned on that page.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Onel5969 TT me 18:28, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:SCB X
editHello, Wake it up. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:SCB X, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 18:23, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:SCB X
editHello, Wake it up. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "SCB X".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 20:10, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
