Happy 4th of July!


Colman2000 (talk) is wishing you a Happy 4th of July! On this day, we recognize our independence from Great Britain with the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, which ultimately paved the way to our freedom. Celebrate this day in many different ways, such as hosting a barbecue, watching baseball games, or even attending a fireworks show! Happy Independence Day, fellow American!

Copying and pasting discussions
Hello! Just a quick question for you. In a recent edit summary on the Talk:Rey (Star Wars) page, you said, "Please don't copy-paste discussions from one talk page onto another. A link to the other discussion is typically more than sufficient in almost all cases." The reason I copied the discussion was because it took place on the Teahouse, where discussions get archived frequently. Once they're archived, a link to them doesn't work anymore. Or maybe I'm not aware of how to link to them properly? Please let me know if that's the case! Wafflewombat (talk) 05:32, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * You can link to the archive page once a post has been archived pretty much the same way you can link to any other page. In this case, your TH question can be found at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive 1226. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:50, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Usage of copy-paste
So, you went to my talk page, and said to not copy paste as a reminder. My only usage of copy-pasting is when writing:

Titles. (I use copy-paste to take titles and put them on my edits of pages, such as when i added "This surge in popularity may have been partially from the Youtube video by the name of [japanese symbols here] (Mesmerizer)" to Kasane Teto's page. Mesmerizer is the translation of the japanese symbols, and due to using a danish keyboard, I could not use these japanese symbols as text, so I Copy-pasted them from the page on Youtube.)

Links. (On the same page and edit, I added a link to the video and song on Youtube, which copy-paste makes way easier. I hope you understand. this. Sleepyfellow03 (talk) 19:20, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The template I added to your user talk page wasn't about you copying and pasting content or copying and pasting Japanese symbols from a YouTube page; it had to do with you adding unsourced content to an article. You added a claim to the article Kasane Teto related to an interpretation that wasn't supported by citation to a secondary reliable source. A interpretation/claim that begins with This surge in popularity may have been partially from the Youtube video ... needs to be supported by a citation to a secondary reliable source in order for it to not be considered original research. I hope you understand this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:36, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Copyright of photo of Kenya Grace

 * Hi @Marchjuly
 * Thanks for your message! I have updated the file's page + the file's talk page with:

Control-alt-delete ★ user◾talk◾favs 17:19, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * For future reference, the template di-replaceable non-free use disputed is for use on file pages only; so, you should n't be enabling it on user talk pages or file talk pages. In addition, the fact the Grace is still alive is, in principle, almost always going to mean that a non-free use of her is never going to be allowed per Wikipedia 's non-free content use policy.It makes no difference whether the only images you can find of her are not released under a free license because it's pretty much always going to be considered reasonable to expect that a free equivalent image could be created to use instead of any non-free one. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:29, 9 July 2024 (UTC) ; edited 20:55, 11 July 2024 (UTC) [Note:Post edited to add "n't" to the word "should". -- Marchjuly (talk) 20:55, 11 July 2024 (UTC)]

Marilyn Manson photo
Hi, trying to change Marilyn Mansons photo to his new photo. I probably selected the wrong options but we need to change it and use that photo. Any help is appreciated thanks Norsefire2024 (talk) 00:20, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi . Given that Manson is still living, neither the file you uploaded nor any other non-free file is going to allowed to be used per non-free content use criterion #1 of Wikipedia's non-free content use policy. So, if you want to replace the current file being used in the infobox in the article with a more recent photo of Manson, you're first going to need to find one that is either released under an acceptable free license or is for some reason considered to be within the public domain. If you're able to find such a photo, you should then you should probably discuss it at Talk:Marilyn Manson to see whether there exists a WP:CONSENSUS to make the change. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:40, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
