It means that large portions of it, if not the whole thing, are straight from the All Music Guide website.

From the AMG website:


 * While just a sophomore at the State University of New York (studying orchestra and later studio composition), Imani Coppola gained a record contract for her surrealistic, sample-laden pop vision of hip-hop, linked to Digable Planets as well as Neneh Cherry. While growing up, her entire family was musical, and Coppola began playing violin at the age of six. She began writing songs and practiced her vocals (although her recording career has featured her rapping more than singing). Her debut album, Chupacabra, featured the MTV hit "Legend of a Cowgirl."

From the Imani Coppola Wiki page:

Whoever pasted this is a total plagarist.

Yes, I see... you are correct. This has been Imani's official bio blurb, and it is indeed written by John Bush, from the All Music Guide. Whoever first set up this article apparently copied it. This entire paragraph is copied from AMG, but that's not to say the entire article is. That's what I thought you were saying. I came along and corrected incorrect information about Imani, and I believe most of the recent anonymous contributions to this (all from the same IP) are from Imani herself, as I told her about the article and what I had done to it. Only she would know how much money she made on a project... By the way, I run her web site. DavidRavenMoon 14:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 6
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fast Forward (band), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New wave (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Steam Loco
The change at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steam_locomotive&curid=196788&diff=619964349&oldid=619561313 didn't improve it, laid it out a little bit better, maybe uncluttered, but now it's also unnecessarily longer. ? --Dave Rave (talk) 00:23, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

File:CTA album.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 calculation 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. RonBot (talk) 17:09, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
