Linking
Hello! I see you've been contributing to Wikipedia by adding links. A few tips
 * Make sure you don't link the same word twice close to each other. Usually, a word should only be linked once in the lead, and once in the body of an article. For longer articles or more difficult words, you can link once per section.
 * Common words don't need linking
 * Sometimes you need to check the article you're linking to. In Africa, you linked the word gradually to gradual typing. That's a completely unrelated article.

Good luck with with the CfACP project :). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 16:10, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi User:Smilymecy: even though you got this nice note from Femke, you have continued to do the linking in the wrong way, e.g. in your edits on 4 November here. I hope you take notice of what people write to you on your talk page! I was going to say the same thing that Femke said about the linking. EMsmile (talk) 21:28, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Please do not insert irrelevant citations into article, as you did in Temperature. (you added an article about dermatology)

You may have added this by accident. Please click 'review your changes' before publishing to prevert similar mistakes in the future. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 17:05, 27 October 2022 (UTC)


 * You did the same in tropical cyclones and climate change. Please indicate if you've understood. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 17:08, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Smilymecy! Your additions to Climatology 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. Please 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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 19:34, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Adding links to Australia
Hello there

Please stop adding unnecessary links to articles. There is no need to link common words or to link the same word everytime it appears. Please read the relevant policy. Thank you. WP:overlinking Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 22:45, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
