Hello, I deleted the following text

- Economists as scientists? -

Should economists be included in this list? Most scientists wouldn't characterize economy as a science, and an economist is no more qualified to comment on the reality of climate change than say a linguistics professor. The economist does have much to say on the cost and benefits of decisions on climate change, of course, but that's a rather separate issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.190.253.13 (talk) 09:39, 12 May 2018 (UTC) [reply]

which you posted in an unsigned remark to a certain article talk page in this edit. I removed it because it seemed nonsense. To best of my knowledge, economists are not listed in the article, and you merely asked a question (should we include x) that does not really apply because we don't do x and you are not suggesting we do x. Instead you answer your own qusetion with "We should not do x because" but since we already do not do X there seems very little reason to have this comment on article talk. If you want to develope a larger thought here and then post it tehre, I'll be glad to talk to a bit to help you form a question that seems actionable.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Gregory Zacharewicz (September 12)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by MurielMary was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines for academics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Thanks for creating this article on Zacharewicz, however his achievements don't seem to meet the criteria for notability for an academic. They are listed here FYI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academics) If you can add more sources or details explaining how he meets these criteria, please do so.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Gregory Zacharewicz and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Gregory Zacharewicz, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello 109.190.253.13, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Draft:Gregory Zacharewicz 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:03, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

The poster “silence=death” is not a work of Gran Fury per se. It was designed by the six-member “silence=death project”, some of whom went on to found Gran Fury after the project was completed. As there exists a page dedicated to the poster, would it not be better to include a work by Gran Fury as such: for example, the “Reads My Lips” poster.

April 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm Glane23. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Belling the Cat, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 17:51, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

December 2022[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Usha Rao-Monari, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contribs)} 21:50, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
