Vic One moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Vic One, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Disambiguation link notification for December 24
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Egerton Ryerson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page William Briggs. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:04, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Callanmurphy! Your additions to Niagara Purchase 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) 15:14, 23 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi @Diannaa, the content added to Niagara Purchase was not written by me. The Treaty of Fort Niagara page had convoluted content, stating that it was referring to the 1764 Treaty, but then having subsections on the 1781 and 1787 Treaties (seen here). The 1781 Treaty already had its own page: Niagara Purchase, but it was a stub, so I merged the content from the 1781 Treaty section of Treaty of Fort Niagara with the Niagara Purchase page and linked to it. I left a bullet point referencing the 1787 Treaty on Treaty of Fort Niagara, however a page for this does not yet exist.
 * To summarize, the content in question was added to Treaty of Fort Niagara by another Wikipedian. I merged this content with the existing Niagara Purchase page, copying the text over and removing it from Treaty of Fort Niagara. I am not aware of the source or potential copyright for this section, I only merged it with another page. Please let me know if there are any remaining concerns. Thank you.

 * Okay, I see it now. Sorry for the mistake. — Diannaa (talk) 20:56, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * No worries, thanks for understanding. Callanmurphy (talk) 21:27, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

February 2023
Hello, I'm Wikipelli. I noticed that you made a change to an article, List of University of Toronto buildings, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Wikipelli Talk  17:18, 27 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi @Wikipelli, this is incorrect. I added several new citations for the added buildings, linked in the first column of the table. There are two or three single cell modifications without citations—for these I can add one as needed. However, I do not feel that this warrants reverting a substantial amount of changes for which citations were provided. Callanmurphy (talk) 17:24, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * You're right. Thank you. The edit that I saw (lunatic asylum) did not have a reference associated with it so I reverted it. Unfortunately, your other additions were reverted as well and shouldn't have been. My apologies. Thank you for your edits and your message. Cheers.. Wikipelli Talk  19:03, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * No worries, thanks for understanding! Callanmurphy (talk) 13:22, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

April 2023
Your edit to Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license.

Meters (talk) 20:27, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * This was an old edit, but you have since been pointed to copyvio and should have been aware that this edit was a problem. Are there any other previous edits of yours where you violated copyright? If so, please go back and remove that material. Meters (talk) 20:29, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
