Welcome!
Hello, and thank you for lending your time to help improve William Higgitt! If you are interested in continuing to edit, I suggest you make an account to gain a bunch of privileges. Happy editing! Thriftycat Talk • Contribs 00:21, 29 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Thriftycat. Couple of things. Can you offer some quick ideas about what those privileges are, and also can you tell me how to change the title of this wiki page from "William Higgitt" to "William Leonard Higgitt"? He was never known as William, and all the literature refers to him as Leonard, as he himself did.  Thanks! 2604:3D08:6379:9800:81C3:E258:1ED2:6973 (talk) 00:37, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello, being able to move a page is one of the privileges you’ll gain. Once your account has been active for four days and made ten edits, a “move” tab will appear at the top of your screen, and you can easily type in a new title. However, I can move the page now if you’d like. Thriftycat Talk • Contribs 00:58, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * In addition to moving, an account will allow you to edit most protected pages and create new articles, among other benefits. Thriftycat Talk • Contribs 01:01, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Alright, I think I'll go ahead and make an account. But please do go ahead and move the page now. I take it that "move" in this case simply means changing the title (I'm rather new at all this, and not familiar with the lingo). Again, "William Higgitt" really makes no sense, because even though that was his first name it was not his used name. 2604:3D08:6379:9800:81C3:E258:1ED2:6973 (talk) 01:20, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I’ve renamed the page; sorry for any confusion Thriftycat Talk • Contribs 04:56, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello 2604:3D08:6379:9800:81C3:E258:1ED2:6973! Your additions to William Leonard Higgitt 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. Please 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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:54, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
