User:thewolfchild, hi I'm totally new here and its taken me a while to figure out how to even ping you on my page per the guidance on your page! I got a notification that you reviewed my page, can you help me understand what that means? Sorry I just logged in and saw the notification from a few weeks ago. Not a super frequent user and no idea what I'm doing yet except making changes to some of the pages I'm reading about. Schwinnspeed (talk) 01:46, 30 November 2021 (UTC) Schwinnspeed
 * User pages are still Wikipedia pages, and when a new one is created, it needs to be reviewed. I just marked your page as such. It's not really anything to be concerned about, you can carry on editing as you have been doing. -  wolf  05:20, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

User:thewolfchild thanks for explaining and relieved to hear what I've been doing is ok so far. Hey, also discovered The Bugle after I saw it posted on your page, thanks for sharing, its a cool project. Schwinnspeed (talk) 20:16, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from United States Navy SEALs into Underwater Demolition Team. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 14:33, 6 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you for letting me know, still fairly new here. Thanks also for adding the attribution to the Underwater Demolition Team page. I will be copying quite a bit more from the Navy Seals Page to the Underwater Demolition Team page, but it will be mostly content that I wrote on the Navy seals page. I will be sure to add the attribution in the edit summary. I will also add the copy template to the talk pages of both as described above. Schwinnspeed (talk) 01:37, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Warning
Hello Schwinnspeed, there were few changes you made on the particular article Tulsidas Balaram, which are showing your enthusiasm about Indian football. I'm only letting you know that some of your additions are good and helpful, but some of your changes have harmed proper citations, data and structural formats within sections, and the reason why the article was having errors (typos). Please DO NOT remove a citation (while all are archived already) and also DO NOT change the "Cquote" format! Happiness ahead :) — Billjones94 😇 Need any help? 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * , thanks and appreciate the heads up, however, not sure a 'warning' is warranted here as the changes mentioned above are all in good faith. For context, I was editing this article to support its candidacy for ITN/RD posting on the main page. There were substantial issues [|issues] that prevented it from being posted, so my efforts are primarily focused on addressing those and ensuring the article makes it to the RD list. One point of issue from ITN was the amount of 1-2 sentence paragraphs - the change from Cquote template was an effort to address that, not a thoughtless removal but I take your note and will remain conscious of it in the future. In terms of 'harming proper citations' - there was several instances where his birthdate was changed by new users. This is because on several places on the internet an incorrect date is used - would it not be more helpful if the actual reference in the article showed a correct date and was an up-to-date article that could be accessed? The existing references leads to a page that is no longer available. This wasn't a random removal, it was a conscious effort to improve the article and its verifiability.

Your ITN nomination
Hey Schwinnspeed. I want to inform you that I've closed your nomination on ITN of the Nobel prize in literature due to 2 main reasons. Firstly, it was already nominated and posted. And secondly, if it wasn't it would technically be stale. Stale means that it is older than the oldest blurb currently on ITN, which means it can't be posted anymore. (ITN needs to highlight recent events after all, if it's older than the current blurb it isn't recent enough). Next time, please check if your event has already been nominated before nominating it. Nominations are supposed to go on the header for the day the event happened, not the date of nomination so check the day when it happened first and then go on from there. Also remember to check if your event is stale before nominating. Hopefully you can avoid making the same mistakes in the future. Good luck editing and sincerest well-wishes!

 * - completely missed that we'd already posted to ITN! Its been a  busy news cycle so stuff has been posted and come down pretty quickly, making it easy to miss. Good to know about the "older than the oldest blurb" rule. As I mentioned in my nomination, I recognized it was a bit stale but took a shot since coverage of the Nobel Prizes seemed a little scarce this year. Will go through the older entries and noms more carefully next time and evaluate for staleness. Thanks! Schwinnspeed (talk) 16:56, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
