Hello, I'm Ahunt. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Quadcopter have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. - Ahunt (talk) 11:47, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ahunt. There's no examples of a photo taken by a drone. This is a picture that I took 4 years ago. After reviewing content guidelines, I believe this addition enriched the article and doesn't violate any policies.

Thoughts?

 * As I noted on my talk page: regarding this, no, it added nothing to the article and had your name as a credit all over it, which is why I removed it. If you think it needs top be included then please make a case on the article talk page and see if other editors support including it. - Ahunt (talk) 14:26, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Ok. That is how I had uploaded it originally from my computer. Brad Thomas Hanks (talk) 06:16, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Comparison of screencasting software into Comparison of screenshot software. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 16:35, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

I didn't know about attribution from within Wikipedia. I'll do that. Brad Thomas Hanks (talk) 18:15, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

 * I saw that there were 2000 in the backlog so I thought I would just publish it. On an unrelated note, I had two questions: 1) I used to know where older rejected and inactive drafts were that needed to be tagged for deletion but I can't find where that is. 2) I noticed that Scott Horsley has a page but Sara O'Brien (CNBC) and Chris Isidore (CNN) don't have pages even though they are also senior staff at very well-known media organizations. I feel like they are at the same level of notability as Scott Horsley. Where would I check to see if they already had had pages created that were deleted? Thanks! Brad Thomas Hanks (talk) 02:34, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't seem to have gotten that ping, but I'll answer anyway. For the first question, you don't generally need to worry about manually tagging inactive drafts anymore since other people are handling deleting them. For the second question, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not generally valid in this context, but anyway I can find no record of any previous attempts to write articles on either of those people. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:39, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'm a huge dork, so I apologize in advance for inflicting my deletion reply on you. But thinking through it was actually interesting bc I might have arrived at an useful insight about coverage significance. Let me know what you think . Brad Thomas Hanks (talk) 04:22, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
