Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, 〜 Adflatuss  •  talk  13:34, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Editing practice
Hi, Please learn correct citation style. We don't put links directly from the text to the outside. Citing sources is a place to start, but also you can check how other editors do it. Even when you move the links to the correct place, you should give more than a raw url as they always disappear eventually. Give an author, if possible, title, name of publication, date, so that dead links can be refreshed later. Incidentally, INN is not considered a reliable source for information about settlements so you should replace it. I will leave what you wrote at Migdal Oz for now to give you the chance to fix it, but fixing it is essential. Zerotalk 00:21, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Also, you marked your edits as "minor" but they are not. See Help:minor edits. Zerotalk 00:22, 18 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, thank you very much for your comments i fund them very helpful Owenglyndur (talk) 09:56, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

You are still marking edits as minor when they are not minor. Please stop. Zerotalk 13:14, 24 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, Thank you for noticing, it is a great help Owenglyndur (talk) 13:50, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Kfar Uria‎
Hello. I saw you amended some of the text, and sourced it to the village website. However, the village website says that its text is sourced from Wikipedia, so it cannot be used as a reference. The Hebrew wiki article is very well referenced, so I would advise translating from there instead. Cheers, Number   5  7  22:26, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, I don't know if you missed this comment? Number   5  7  10:42, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * HI, your comment was very helpfull and i added more refferences as you advised, if you can help more to enrich the article please do so. Owenglyndur (talk) 11:18, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Apologies if I wasn't clear initially – I wasn't asking for more sources, I was suggesting a complete rewrite of the early history section, basing it on translating the Hebrew Wikipedia's history of the village and using those sources. I have now deleted the bit sourced from a source that used Wikipedia as its source. Number   5  7  21:12, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Translating
Hi, I noticed that you're translating articles from he.wiki, which is great. Most of them are probably okay, but just bear in mind that articles need to pass our (en.wiki) requirements for referencing, notability, etc. In other words, merely existing in another language version of Wikipedia is not enough to justify inclusion in another version, as each version is an entirely separate project with their own rules and requirements (and, AFAIK at least, en.wiki is probably the strictest in that sense). Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:43, 4 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Ok,
 * Thank you very much Owenglyndur (talk) 10:10, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Roman roads in Judaea
I moved "Roman roads in Judaea/Palaestina" to Roman roads in Judaea and created a redirect from "Roman roads in Palaestina". The article looks like it is mainly about Judaea and that tile is concise and easier for the reader. Cheers.

Sourcing issues on Roman roads in Judaea
Hi Owenglyndur, thank you for taking the time to work on the article about Roman roads in Judaea. It's an interesting topic which should be covered in Wikipedia. I have documented some issues with the sourcing on the talk page, would you be able to address them? Richard Nevell (talk) 19:49, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Owenglyndur, please note that these issues will keep your DYK nomination from being approved. I hope you're able to address them soon! BlueMoonset (talk) 03:42, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Copyright issues
Hello Owenglyndur! Your additions to Ein Gedi synagogue 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, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points: It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Richard Nevell (talk) 19:37, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
 * Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
 * Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's elegibility.
 * Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.


 * Owenglyndur, the same issue is evident in your newly created article, Ein Gedi (archaeological site). In your edit summary you indicated that the article has been translated from the Hebrew Wikipedia; is there perhaps a problem with the Hebrew Wikipedia entries on these two topics? Richard Nevell (talk) 19:11, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comments, I did my best in the translation and editing so there will not be any copy violations. Please can you let me know where? how? can you see copy issues? Owenglyndur (talk) 07:34, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Using Google Translate to check the Hebrew version of the entry for Ein Gedi archaeological site, the two paragraphs of text identified as being a copyright violation are not present; they were added before the text currently at the start of the 'היסטוריה' section.
 * With the article on the Ein Gedi synagogue, the situation seems to be the same with the copyrighted text introduced before the text at the start of the section titled 'ממצאי החפירות'. It also appears that your edit to the Hebrew article introduced a copyright violation.
 * Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policy regarding copyright violations? Copyright violations.
 * It looks like content has been copied from journal articles and pasted into Wikipedia with minimal changes. Unless the text is already available under a Wikipedia compatible open licence, this is a breach of copyright. Richard Nevell (talk) 19:18, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Regarding your first comment, your complain is about a text that isn't there anymore? did i understand you correctly?
 * Regarding your second comment i revised the text, i hope it is suitable now Owenglyndur (talk) 12:06, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The issue is that though your edit summary when creating the article on Ein Gedi (archaeological site) indicated you translated the article from Hebrew, you introduced copyrighted text from another source. This has since been removed, as has some copyrighted text at Ein Gedi synagogue, but there may be other instances, especially as I have also discovered issues with Khirbet el-Qutt.
 * The part of the synagogue article that you reworded in this edit does not appear to have been copied from the source, so was not problematic for that reason.
 * You've created dozens of articles in just a couple of months. May I suggest that you change focus to checking over the content you have created to make sure that it isn't breaching Wikipedia's policy on copyright violations? If it has happened it is something that can be fixed, but if we don't address it now I am concerned that it will get out of hand. There are training materials like this module which explain copyright and how to avoid plagiarism and close paraphrasing. Richard Nevell (talk) 18:11, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

There is now evidently some level of copyright violation in Deir ed Darb‎. If I find more evidence of copyright violations, I will look into opening an investigation. Richard Nevell (talk) 22:26, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Khirbet Kelafa


A tag has been placed on Khirbet Kelafa requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Richard Nevell (talk) 18:52, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

June 2024
Hello. I have noticed that you edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! &#126;~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:28, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

 * I understand the part about copywrite text and i will take time to learn about it, so i can write better articles in the future. Regarding images, each and every image i uploaded to wikipedia was mine and only mine taken over years of travelling in Israel.

331dot - I understand that in articles I have written before I used texts copied from the sources I provided, which violates Wikipedia's policy. The text I copied and presented in the article was published on Wikipedia without the permission of the copyright holder. Furthermore, I translated some texts word for word, which also violates Wikipedia's policy. I know that even using texts that were very slightly changed or altered, violates Wikipedia's policy. The same goes for texts that remain close, similar or might be linguistically resembling the source or sources on which I based the article also violates Wikipedia's policy. I know that all the text I write and text I translate from any source, must be done using my own words. As I pointed out in my request to remove the block, articles I created lately, have zero percentage of copyright violation. Owenglyndur (talk) 12:37, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

 * WP:EARWIG cannot detect close paraphrasing (WP:NOTEARWIG). My own experience of your work is that it is riddled top-to-bottom with close paraphrasing. That you are citing software that cannot detect your mistakes to argue that you have learned from them is not a good look. I would advise against unblocking this user until they have clearly demonstrated they know and respect the seriousness of close paraphrasing. &#126;~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:40, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
