Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Timo Werner, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 17:23, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Dean Smith (footballer, born 1971), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 21:25, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Cheers, I forgot on the last one. I'll try and remember for next time. But here is a source https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/54410120/.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Haris920! Your additions to Workers Party of Britain 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. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. 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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:17, 4 May 2022 (UTC)


 * @Diannaa Hi there, I apologise for any trouble caused. I understand my mistake and will make sure i follow the better guidelines next time. Haris920 (talk) 17:02, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Two points...
Firstly, you added the name of the student who filmed the Starmer video to the Beergate article, although the question of whether he should be named is under active discussion on the article talk page. Your edit may well be reverted, and it's always good practice to check beforehand when adding possibly controversial material. Secondly, you are marking edits as "minor" when they are clearly not. See WP:MINOR - "Checking the minor edit box signifies that the current and previous versions differ only superficially (typographical corrections, etc.), in a way that no editor would be expected to regard as disputable.  Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if the edit concerns a single word, and it is improper to mark such an edit as minor."

 * I didnt realise it was under active discussion in the talk page, thanks for letting me know. I'm also not aware why I checked the minor box, I think I might have mistakenly clicked it. But thanks for the heads up. Haris920 (talk) 13:44, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
