User talk:Eldryn T

Welcome!
Hello, Eldryn T, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:15, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Sandbox
Hi! I saw that you had a copy of the article for Third World in your user page. I've moved this to your sandbox at User:Eldryn T/sandbox so you can work on it there. I've also tweaked it to keep the formatting intact. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:27, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Third World edits
I've reverted your edits to this article. I'm not really certain of what you're doing, but it looks like you're copying another article (Third-Worldism) into the main article for Third World. If you're trying to merge the pages together, this isn't the way to do this. For a page merge you would first need to bring up a discussion on the article's talk page and see if anyone would contest or approve of the page merge. After that, you would need to re-write the Third-Worldism article to be a subsection rather than an entire article. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:50, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You need to broach this on the article's talk page. I'll start a formal discussion for you. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:11, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

re: Third Worldism
Thank you, I will go to the discussion now. hello https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Shalor_(Wiki_Ed) is it okay for me to merge the topics ?
 * Started the discussion here. It will run for a week, after which point it can be closed and a decision made. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:16, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

Creative Commons licenses
Hi, I wanted to give you a head's up about Creative Commons licenses. I saw that you had content on your article that came from here. The site uses a Creative Commons license, however the type of license they use isn't compatible with Wikipedia. The reason for this is that their license forbids people from using their work for commercial purposes, whereas Wikipedia uses a Creative Commons license that allows people to use it for any purpose, including commercial purposes. It's honestly a very easy mistake to make, as the difference between the licenses can get really confusing. I actually keep a cheat sheet for my own purposes, since this can all get a little confusing. Two of the biggest things to look for with a Creative Commons license is that it allows people to adapt the work (ie, derivatives allowed) and that it allows commercial use (so no NC on the license).

Something else to keep in mind is that if we use their text, we have to attribute them within the page itself. This is something that can be a little tricky, so definitely let me know if you need me to add this attribution tag to a page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:26, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
