Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Timeline of national flags, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 17:37, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello 213.192.68.53! Your additions to List of Australian flags 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 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 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 Close paraphrasing. 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.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * 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 either 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 Donating copyrighted materials.
 * 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 described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

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) 12:51, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Edit summaries such as "a bit of everywhere" and "‎ flags" are completely uninformative and make it far harder to tell whether your edits are constructive or not. DanielRigal (talk) 19:30, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to List of Estonian flags, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at List of Armenian flags‎. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Archives908 (talk) 16:04, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please 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 noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

List of Croatian flags
Dear IP user!

This flag might be historical, but it is definitely not an ethnic flag in Croatia. The fact that it was used 80 years ago, does not mean that a flag where the Swastika is replaced by Odal (rune) is a modern-day ethnic flag of Croatia. It can be added to that list, of course — but not as an ethnic flag. Maybe as an historical ethnic flag? "Volksdeutsche" is also not a term used in modern-day Croatia and the description "Flag of the German Community" is in this case obviously in this context not correct.

The so-called "Dubrovnik Republic" flag is an original research and failed verification. Beside the fact that this "Republic" only existed on paper and that it had no flag, the two sources you added do not seem to me like reliable sources. In fact, the flag you can find on that website really seems like an original research. Sourcing something on Wikipedia does not mean that it "just has to be somewhere on the internet." Please see: Verifiability.

If needed, I will mention this conflict on the WP:AN, because it might be good to have thrid opinions here.

 * Hi, thanks for the fast reply!


 * 1. I am not claiming that you "have stated that this flag is still used", sorry if I was not writing very well. My point is, it appears kinda weird when you put a such flag in the same box with the current minority/ethnic flags. If you ask me, it would be better to create a special section for historical ethnic flags. What do you think about this?


 * 2. I agree with that, but I would put it in the List of Serbian or Yugoslav flags since it is not a "Croatian flag" → it is the CoA of Dubrovnik on a Serbian tricolour. It has nothing to do with the Croatian city of Dubrovnik or the historical Ragusa, it is some sort of "1990s irredentist creation".


 * 3. It was not originally removed by me. Another user has removed it on January 20, 2022 with the description: "removing broken/copyrighted flags". I am not an expert for copyright, so I think it is the best if I contact the user and ask him about that.


 * PS: You seem to edit a lot with this IP, why do you not open an account? There are many pro's for opening an account! :-)


 * Best regards and stay healthy, Koreanovsky (talk) 12:42, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
