Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Alexandria Bucephalous! Your additions to 2022 Morbi bridge collapse 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. -- Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 08:22, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Important Notice
Doug Weller talk 15:43, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

"+1"
Please stop adding tallies to consensus discussions. We're all capable of counting. OhNo itsJamie Talk 16:18, 3 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Dear Administrator
 * The tallies are to show my support to an argument being presented. So no, I will not stop adding them. In case these tallies are against Wiki policies please help me with the page saying so.
 * Hope you understand,
 * - Alexandria Alexandria Bucephalous (talk) 03:18, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Decisions aren’t made according to the number of supports and opposes but by the weight of the arguments based on policies and guidelines. Doug Weller  talk 09:00, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Mr CheckUser,
 * Who judges the weight of an argument Mr CheckUser? Unfortunately on The Wire talk thread we do not have Users who are as knowledgeable as you so we ourselves judge the weight of the arguments being presented.
 * Thus I put the "+1" to express my support so the weight of an argument can be judged.
 * I will not stop adding them.
 * PS: Just as the Administrator above ( who has now gone silent) please help me with the page saying that these tallies are in violation of Wikipedia policy, if you can. Alexandria Bucephalous (talk) 11:12, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

 * - Cabayi (talk) 19:41, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear ChecKUser,
 * Understood !!!
 * Will refrain from voting from now on. Alexandria Bucephalous (talk) 04:27, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Note that no one here is posting in their role as a CheckUser. Doug Weller  talk 11:05, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear CheckUser
 * I know that, just wanted to convey my deep respect for all your achievements. Alexandria Bucephalous (talk) 11:14, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Wow he’s nuttier than I thought he was. I never claimed to be an archaeologist and I was only a student at LSE whose degrees are from the University of London. That article is riddled with factual errors. I certainly graduated from Yale but in political science and have a Master’s degree from LSE. Note that he doesn’t offer any links to Wikipedia to back his lies. Love the insinuation I’m a pedophile. Hopkins was a real piece of work, really malicious. Doug Weller  talk 12:12, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Alexandria, I really hope I don't have to keep coming back to point you to the policies you're violating. This time it's WP:NPA & WP:OUTING, even if, as Doug says, the article you link to is mistaken. A person's contributions are evaluated against the reliable, verifiable, independent sources they cite, not who they claim to be.If it's your natural reaction to turn disputes into ad hominem attacks your wiki-career is likely to be short. Play the ball and not the man. Cabayi (talk), writing as an editor, not as an admin, checkuser, oversighter, or arbitrator, 13:57, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear Editor,
 * Let us leave worries about my wiki career to me. The point you made is noted . Will familiarise myself with Wiki policies.
 * PS: I play both the ball and the man. Alexandria Bucephalous (talk) 14:44, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

November 2022
Hello, I'm Doug Weller. I noticed that you recently removed content from Ram Setu (film) without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Note the alert above. Doug Weller  talk 11:04, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Ram Setu (film) 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. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 14:59, 21 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Dear Doug,
 * I corrected the grammar and sentence structure of the plot section. I therefore do not believe my edit summary is inaccurate. Alexandria Bucephalous (talk) 03:36, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at List of common misconceptions, you may be blocked from editing. Sundayclose (talk) 12:44, 13 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Sundayclose,
 * No. I will not stop adding content to the article.
 * If you feel that my content was unsourced or poorly sourced, I suggest you research the citations I used. Furthermore, please get a life, sad to see a person who is clearly as intelligent as you wasting their time on a Sunday (pun intended) unnecessarily criticising someone for adding content to an article that is not exactly as important as, say, the article for Vjekoslav Kramer. Alexandria Bucephalous (talk) 13:11, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
 * At least stop edit warring. You will be blocked if you continue.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 04:52, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * My edit war is a just war. Block me if you want. Alexandria Bucephalous (talk) 04:59, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a WP:BATTLEGROUND. It's collaborative. Even if you know you're right, discuss your edits with fellow editors.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 03:32, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at List of common misconceptions shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Sundayclose (talk) 11:21, 14 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is edited collaboratively. You cannot decide unilaterally that you will "not stop adding content" to an article. You need to convince other editors that you're right. Also, please don't cast aspersions on other editors. An attitude like "my edit war is a just war" doesn't work here on Wikipedia. --Macrakis (talk) 20:20, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Nisha Sharma dowry case
Hi Alexandria Bucephalous! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Nisha Sharma dowry case that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. ''"Remov[ing] unnecessary details" is typically not a minor edit. '' Mason (talk) 02:40, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
