Hello, I'm BilCat. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Aircraft carrier, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''Wikia is not acceptable as a reliable source. Further, the article you cited there is a mirror of this Wikipedia article, and even includes the "Citation needed" tag in the same exact place!''  BilCat (talk) 21:15, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello. You recently added a citation to a Geniuses Club webpage to the Thucydides article. Unfortunately, this is not a reliable source as the text derives entirely from Wikipedia; this is a circular reference. I've reverted that addition. NebY (talk) 21:48, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

The reference you added to Fernando Pessoa is also to a clone - the webpage explicitly says "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". I've reverted that. The reference you added to Benny Anderson doesn't qualify as a reliable source either. You'll see what we mean if you read Reliable sources. NebY (talk) 22:00, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Jon Clardy.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Jon Clardy.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement&#32;of https://bcmp.hms.harvard.edu/faculty-staff/jon-clardy. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
