Disambiguation link notification for January 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sri Maharaja, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tanah Merah ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Sri_Maharaja check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Sri_Maharaja?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

File:The kingdom of Temasek.jpg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Altopian1/sandbox


Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as User:Altopian1/sandbox, is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

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.

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Malay Annals, you may be blocked from editing. Graham87 (talk) 16:36, 20 November 2023 (UTC)


 * My deepest apologies. May I restore the content so long as I cite Raffles' introduction (v-xvi): https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.83132/page/n3/mode/2up ? Altopian1 (talk) 01:12, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I've gone and restored it myself, citing the Wikisource version and making other fixes so the text strictly lines up with the sources. The reason why I reacted so strongly is that in your version, you put your new text before an existing reference marker, thus implying that Roolvink 1967 page 312 contained text about Raffles's introduction, which it absolutely does not on that page or, as far as I can tell, anywhere else (I checked myself; I had to read it via optical character recognition due to my blindness so there's a very small chance I missed something, but I highly doubt it in this case). See the guideline section about text–source integrity. It's a requirement to cite your sources when adding any new content; Wikipedia articles are very widely copied and it is often much easier to cite text before it's been added to Wikipedia rather than after the fact. It's also usually much better to use secondary sources, though in this sort of case using a primary source is fine. Graham87 (talk) 08:14, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for restoring the text and adding the citation. I had cited previous additions but this was a clear mistake on my part. Apologies once again, and I'll be more careful going forward! Altopian1 (talk) 09:04, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
