Prevc
Hi! Would you be interested in getting Peter Prevc to a featured article? We got close in the last nomination, I don't think there is much extra work needed. Let me know. --Tone 16:30, 15 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, sure. Wait! Does that mean, after article is featured it becomes semi/full protected and edits are no longer possible to random users, except administrators?.Sportomanokin (talk) 23:05, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * No, no, protection is only used for articles that are targets of vandalism. That should not be the case here. Great then :) I'll work on the nomination in the following days. --Tone 23:25, 15 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks. That will be great. As I can see only 5,000 (0,1%) of 5,000,000 English articles so far are featured.Sportomanokin (talk) 23:29, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Please check the talkpage of Prevc's article. I wrote down some points that we should fix before the nomination. I think you have the best knowledge here ;) --Tone 15:58, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

List of longest ski jumps
Hi Sportomanokin,

Thanks for the redaction of List of longest ski jumps which is a good article. A few days ago, I left a message on the talk page and you probably didn't see it. I found articles about Henry Hall's record. I think there is a mistake because at the Steamboat Springs 1918 ski festival the weather was bad and it seems that no world record were beaten that year. --Shev123 (talk) 12:40, 11 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Every source is very helpful. I didn't notice your post. I've manage to source almost all WRs. There are still some doubts, so if you could find any direct old newspaper sourcess connected to next world records with full dates and sent links for:

Any sources from any language would be great, so we can finally complete the and source all the world records distances that ever happened. Thanks. Sportomanokin (talk) 13:45, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello,
 * Thanks for your message ! For Anders Haugen in 1919, there is this source. For Knudsen in 1913, there is this article. For Rudd in 1931, it's here. For Rudd in 1934, it's there. There it is for Ruchet. I will see later for some other article.--Shev123 (talk) 19:35, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

 * O, uaau! Quick response. Thanks. How do you find all this stuff? Fantastic. If you could find as many as possible of them in the near future would be great. Sportomanokin (talk) 09:23, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I am French so it's easy to look into Swiss Archives and I devlopped the french page of Karl Hovelsen who help me to find US sources. For Badrutt in 1930, looks like if fell (Norwegian newspaper, there is nothing in the switzerland press).
 * For the 43m of Smith, there is a french article. A month later, he did 45m (way more sources about that jump), and it loos like it's brother failed at 46m not 48m (in List of longest ski jumps right now).--Shev123 (talk) 13:25, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Way to go, men! Are there exact dates for 43 and 45 metres? What exactly does "hors concours" mean, i see it in every french article? Unofficial competition, exhibition event, Free training? Sportomanokin (talk) 13:42, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * For the 43 m the source says February (I haven't found more precise). For 45m, it's sunday 28 February 1909. Hors concours means after the offical ski jumping competition. Most of the time, you had 2 jumps for the offical competition and jumpers made some others jumps for the public or just for fun ! Sometimes, they were jumping 2 by 2 (like the Smith brothers). --Shev123 (talk) 14:09, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * For 17 March 1935 - 99.5 metres by Fritz Kainersdörfer -- Ponte di Legno, there is one french source. I will loke for Adolph Badrutt in 1930 but it's not easy (nothing in french press, almost nothing in the swiss).--Shev123 (talk) 14:09, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I found this article about the 75m of Badrutt in 1930. It says "the world record of Emil Pedersen is beaten". Do you know this Emil Pedersen ?--Shev123 (talk) 15:44, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * We should keep the conversation on one page (this one is mine for me). I found an article on La Stampa for Harald Smith at 43 m but I am not really speaking italian. For Emil Pétersen, he was living in France so he wrote articles/books, he coaches French athletes and he had an excellent reputation in France. I didn't find anything about a world record in other articles.--Shev123 (talk) 17:09, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * OK. Language, as long is latin alphabet, is not a barrier, google translate helps a lot. Title of the article is The great day of skiers (from our special correspondent, 6 February 1910) Google translation: "The two Smith brothers made some wonderful jumps. Trygve Smith set the of length of the day with a jump of 42 meters, but it was not a successful jump, because the blond northern champion, touched the snow, fell and rolled, recovering and rising again only at the end." Found nothing about Harald Smith 43 metres (1909) in this blu article, which as I understand describes competiton on 6 February 1910. Sportomanokin (talk) 18:10, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * This time, it's ok for 43m (I hope !). I may have find a source in Norwegian for other records but I don't have access. Do you know someone who have a norwegian IP for this article ? --Shev123 (talk) 20:09, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * This time you gave me the right link, hehe. You are unbelivable, getting all the sources and exact dates at the same time. Keep up the great work. I'm adding all your searched sources, that are still missing into the main article. We need more people like this in the ski jumping section. No, I don't no any. I don't get why some of archives are mostly available, but 5-10% are locked. Sportomanokin (talk) 20:19, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * For Gunnar Andersen, several norwegian sources are saying 47 m (not 47.5) (1 and 2). Norwegian newspapers are all readable 95 years after publication and all the newspaper until 2000 are accessible for Norwegian IP. I need this access for developping good article about nordic combined and I am trying to find a solution (probably a VPN). And a last one for today, 32.5 m for Asbjørn Nilssen. --Shev123 (talk) 21:54, 6 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I just assumed from the American source where it says previous WR 156 ft (=47.5 metres) set in Norway 1912 was beaten for 13 feet by Ragnar Omvedt on 169 ft (51.5 metres) in Ironwood. But all other do claim 47 m. Still many unclarities:


 * 98 and 99 m by Reidar Andersen on 15/3/1935 in Planica mentioned in all statistics. However, Najdaljši skok 99 m (p.7) says he made two jumps at 99 and 99 metres.
 * 81 m by Sigmund Ruud. All modern statistics claim 81.5 m, also in article Luftseilas på ski from 1952.
 * 99 m WR by Kainsdorfer (99.5 in all modern stats), also in article Luftseilas på ski from 1952.
 * 124 m WR by Willi Gantschnigg on 2/3/1950; Some other claim 123 m ("135 metrov dolg smučarski skok je dosegel šved Netzell") or 125 m ("V Oberstdorfu je šlo 135 metrov daleč")
 * 130 m WR by Andreas Däscher on 3/3/1950. No stats mention it, but it is clear that first dascher jumped 130 m, after him Netzell 135 m. According to this article Weiler jumped 133 metres after both of them.
 * 133 m "WR" by Weiler on 3/3/1950: in this article described in unclear order: "Oberstsdorf, 3 March; Today we've seen even longer jumps than yesterday; Klopfer 102, Goring 111, Weiler 133 (?), Kafer and swedish Petersen 120, young Austrian Eder 122, Brutscher 124 (?), Dascher 130. Then swedish Dan Netzell flew 135 m in the air and broke all the previous records.''"
 * 133 m by Weiler is so confusing. Source 1 and 2 claim this was definetly world record. But again no statistics mentioned it, article 17. svetovni rekord v Oberstdorfu (p.9) doesn't mention neither Dasher (130 m) or Weiler (133 m). And Gantsching as 124 m. Title says Kogler's 180 m was the 17th world record in Oberstdorf. Sportomanokin (talk) 11:10, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Tonight I am looking for old Norwegian records. I may have found something for 1881. In this newspaper (if you search "Richard Blichfeldt"), you found that a Ole Olten may have done a jump at 25m. I am not really sure because it is not easy to read and I am not speaking norwegian anyway.--Shev123 (talk) 17:48, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I found some results on NB.no. There is some spelling differences (for exemple "Olaf Haugan " with only one n at the end). --Shev123 (talk) 18:16, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * For exemple, in this article there are the results for the Husebyrennet of 1879. I think there is an information about the 20m of Olaf Haugan. --Shev123 (talk) 18:21, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * This old writing system is almost impossible to read and find anything. I can't find it, could you give me a hints for those articles (page, title, line, section, something). Sportomanokin (talk) 18:42, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Norwegians back then also used old metric unit Alen (1 unit = 62,75 cm). Those 25 "metres" that I can't find, could actually be 25 alen (16 metres). Not sure. Sportomanokin (talk) 18:54, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * For 1879, the informations are at the end of page 2 after the results (A 1-11, B 1-11 and C 1-11).
 * For 1881, you are probably right about alen instead of meters. Information is at page 1, end of column 2 (Resultat a) and b)) and then the 25 something.--Shev123 (talk) 19:05, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * On 12 February 1879, according to this article, read pages 90 and 91, Haugen jumped 22 metres during practice, even before he did 20 metres. Why this one isn't present at any statistics list or history books? Hmm, interesting, maybe because it was set on unofficial practice, who knows? Sportomanokin (talk) 19:11, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Hehe, now I found it right away, it definetly says ca. 25 Al.(en). I compared large A and large M in For 1879 article. I'm not sure this is the right article, you should probably search for 13 February 1879 edition (as husebyrennet happened on 12/2/1879). Sportomanokin (talk) 19:36, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * For 1879, I think I have a source for 40 alen... (so 22 m ?), it is here (Aftenposten) at the top of page 2 forth column (Klasse B, Olaf Haugan, 40 ar.). --Shev123 (talk) 19:48, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * For 1881, I think I found a good article in the Aftenposten (race on 8 February, results in the newspaper of 9th). There is a link. It is at page 2, at the top of fourth column. There is sort of ranking with Aasmund Brekke winner of the overall (nordic combined), John Hauge 3rd (49 Al.) and in fifth position Svenning Svalestuan (or something like that). If you look, there is a phrase ..."i hoppet" (so maybe the best jumper).--Shev123 (talk) 22:13, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by "Aftenposten (race on 8 February, results in the newspaper of 9th)"? The newspaper i got was released on 8th February. Sportomanokin (talk) 16:21, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * We can decode now. Here are the list of all letters in Dano-Norwegian Gothic script alphabet we are looking for. Pay attention to A, K and M. Sportomanokin (talk) 16:21, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Here is the alen /to/meter]. Those number 20 Kr. and 49 Nr. (number i guess) doesn't match the record numbers. I don't know what would that Kr. mean? Sportomanokin (talk) 16:30, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Mistery for the first 1879 article (page 3, column 1, paragraph 2) is solved. I contacted the Norwegian guy who is sourcing the main Norwegian article and asked him for translation. Haugan is said to have jumped 60 feet (18 m) on that occasion (18/2). The week before (12/2), the same boy had jumped 66 feet (20 m WR). And Kr. is prize money. Sportomanokin (talk) 20:14, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I have made the same deductions ! With your link with germanic letters, I try to translated part of the article and I ended with the same conclusions. So, it's fine. It is going to be to easier with someone who speaks Norwegians for finding the others results. --Shev123 (talk) 20:23, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * For 1881, in the Aftenposten of the 8th of February (you are right, it is not in the 9th), there is one phrase after the name Svenning Svatulen ("Han modtog for fin overlegne Faerdighet i hoppet"). He earned money for his jump (but no distance is indicated). I will continue the search. --Shev123 (talk) 21:54, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Dagbladet is way more readable page 2. --Shev123 (talk) 21:58, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * For 1881, there is someting in this article (page 1, column 2) and there (top of page 2, column 1). I have to work and I will try to understand later. --Shev123 (talk) 13:14, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * For 1886, I found something (page 2, column 5). A Olaf Berland would have done a 25.5 m jump. Korporal Norgaard reach 27m but fell. --Shev123 (talk) 21:09, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Uaau! Great discovery. This article has potential. Well, it looks like this was hill premiere, Korporal Norgaard (Johannes Nordgården?) fell at 27 m WR distance and Olaf Berland stood and obviously he is the one who set world record at 25.5 metres. Hm, interesting, statistics were obviously wrong. See, that's why sources are so important. I'm still waiting for full translation and confirmation. Sportomanokin (talk) 21:53, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Guy from Norway gave me full translation, the competition was on schedule on 24th February (column 4). Maybe there is also something about it in newspaper on 25th February. By the way, there is a reference to the local newspaper Varden for the day before (10 March). Sportomanokin (talk) 11:13, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I will check for the 25th of February. For Varden, there is no scan for this year. --Shev123 (talk) 12:31, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

On Canadian official documents, I have found an article about ski jumpings records in 1930 (I can't find articles who confirmed that) and 1932. --Shev123 (talk) 14:43, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I already got this 1932 book article, from which quote "While this jump was not made in an official tournament, it is endorsed by the Revelstoke Ski Club, and by affidavits signed by William Jamieson, judge", it is still not clear if this is "official" (recognized) WR or not. And in continuing article that Sigmund Ruud equaled that record shortly after or the same day (?) in Davos, what's up with that jump? Sportomanokin (talk) 18:17, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
 * This 1930 article is total confusing and unreliable and if this is even about WRs. Everything helps, but newspaper sport articles are more reliable. It says some Norwegian jumped 80.5 metres in March 1930 (fortnight/two week later). Never heard 80 m barrier was broken already in 1930. That Badrut stood at 74 metres in Italy, but the competition was already in January. This Fritz Kaufmann 75 metres, but this article says it was Badrut who jumped 75 metres. Sportomanokin (talk) 18:52, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Norwegian source (and this also) and french article confirmed the 75m of Badrutt. The french article say that the Norwegians weren't happy because they consider Badrutt as a professionnel (he received money and a car after his jump). For Kaufmann, he probably never did a WR, I haven't find a reliable source.--Shev123 (talk) 20:41, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * For the 287 feet in 1933, I am found this. --Shev123 (talk) 20:41, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * And at this link, there is an article about Canadian records and there is maybe something to look for the ladies record. --Shev123 (talk) 20:50, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Great we are getting less and less problems to solve. It's even more clear from those articles, which is already known, that Europeans and Americans recognized only their own world records, Kaufmann never made actual world record, so did not Ruud with 72.5 metres, which was obviously considered only by Europe. But in the wolrd record list only actual world records count, doesn't matter if American or European. Very realiable sources for Badrutt, it's clear he set the WR between 14th (claimed on "skisprungchanzen.com") and 20th January. If you could check 15 January 1930 in Norwegian or Swiss media, to confirm the exact date. Lymbourne 287 ft source and date (15/3/33) confirmed, great. Should I put 1886 source into article 25.5 metres as WR and 27 metres WR with fall, did you find anything else, as it doesn't clearly sasy if that was WR or just the distance of the day? Sportomanokin (talk) 13:14, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * For Badrutt, I haven't found the exact date but I think it's on the 19th (nothing good enough in the Swiss press) and the Norwegian articles are dated on the 21st January (and a picture). Several french newspapers announced this world record on the 6 January 1934... In the rechearch, I have found that Fritz Kaufmann did a jump at 78.5 at training but fell.
 * I am looking at french press and I found an article who made a list of ski jumping records, there are some difference with ours. --Shev123 (talk) 13:09, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * This swiss book say the record was made at the Italian championships. And finally I found this...--Shev123 (talk) 13:35, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Badrutt may have done 74.5 m before the 12th... It's complicated, every media are saying something different (different place, different date...). --Shev123 (talk) 13:51, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I am stopping my rechearch for today. I think Badrutt made 74.5 and fell in early January (maybe in Late December 1929). He did 75m on the 12th January in Switzerland (Pontresina) and he did it another time at the italian championships in February. --Shev123 (talk) 14:13, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Great effort you do because FIS Ski Flying World Championships 2020 in Planica is less than a month away. And just before or during ski flying competititons, wiki record list is most clicked and visited. I see often in recent years, that all the media mostly quoting world record list from wiki. This seem more like 73.5 metres by Kaufman or is it 8 (looks like 3 to me)? Does "sans tomber" in this case mean touch the ground, as google translated "without falling"? As far as french press WR list, it's clear they took only European "world records" in consideration at that time, well known fact. Edvard Lillehagen 23 m in 1888 is a bit off in my opinion, that distance was beaten already in 1886 or earlier. Sportomanokin (talk) 18:57, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * About Badrutt 75 m at the italian champ.. Can't find Romansh (hard to understand) to English translator, but doesn't it says at the end, something like 75 m could be actually 74.5 m? Sportomanokin (talk) 20:55, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * "sans tomber" means "without falling". For Badrutt, I am trying to find someone who speaks this language because, I only understand half of the words. It might be easier to find the article in the Corriere. --Shev123 (talk) 22:09, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks to him, translated the Romansh article on my talk page. --Shev123 (talk) 22:20, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the translation. This Badrutt 74.5 m with fall jump was obviously before 3 January 1930. As I said earlier (19/11/2020), to me it looks like Kaufmann did 73.5 m (not 78.5 m) in this article in second column. Could you check, maybe in German/Austrian press what was happening on 28/2/1950 in Oberstdorf; Andreas Dascher jumped 121 meters, not clear if after or before Willi Gantsching made WR at 124 m. And also on 3/3/1950 in Oberstorf; not 100% clear if Andreas Dascher (130 m) and Sepp Weiler (133 m) made those jumps before or after Dan Netzell set WR at 135 m. Thanks. Sportomanokin (talk) 15:08, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The 1950 newspaper will be in the public domain in 1 month. For now, I haven't found a digital newspaper of 1950. Austrian newspaper are at this link. I will check if I can find something in the german press. There is something in the Aftenposten (page 14), but I don't have access. --Shev123 (talk) 17:29, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * 70 years? Didn't know that. I know that music rights come into public domain after 70 years. Obviously different for rules for newspaper rights from country to country. Sportomanokin (talk) 11:07, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi ! For 3/3/1950, I have found this article (at the right of the page) but I don't speak german. --Shev123 (talk) 14:09, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hey, after longer time! Thanks. But from the text, order of jumps is still not clear. It only mentions 135 m WR; in what order Weiler jumped 133 m and Dasher 130 m, not clear. Sportomanokin (talk) 09:25, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for all the help but the hilltests and trainings should not be recorded. As you can see here, the qualification can be added to the subarticle. Kante4 (talk) 13:59, 9 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Why not! It doesn't hurt. What if world record happens in test? It doesn't bother, I don't see a problem if you put them in show/hide mode. Sportomanokin (talk) 14:06, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The same, why we do not record training goals scored by Ronaldo or whoever. It's just a test and not more, but i can live with show/hide. Kante4 (talk) 14:08, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Would be glad if you help with the results on the subarticles if they are available (e.g. here). Kante4 (talk) 14:12, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you can live with it hehe. Yes, offcourse i can help. But why wouldn't results be available, or you mean list? Sportomanokin (talk) 14:17, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, when the start list comes out, i have an eye on it aswell. I think having this in subarticles is better than all on one page, easier to read and not cluttered like the previous years. Kante4 (talk) 14:19, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

As a general rule, if an article has evolved using predominantly one format, the dates should be left in the format they were originally written in, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic. Please also note that Wikipedia does not use ordinal suffixes (e.g., st, nd, th), articles, or leading zeros on dates.

For more information about how dates should be written on Wikipedia, please see this page.

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on Wikipedia. ''The date format for this article is dmy, so the correct date would be "5 December". If the date format was mdy, the correct date format would be December 5. You added "December 5th" twice. Please pay attention to the date formats.'' Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:34, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you often 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. Thanks!

Orphaned non-free image File:Music To Moog By - cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Music To Moog By - cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:23, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

WC seasons/hill records
Greetings! I hope you're doing well. It's very nice to see you're still actively involving in ski jumping articles. I had an idea for a new section on World Cup season articles—hill records. I seem to remember that several HRs were set in the last season, but I can't remember at which comps; I wanted to go back and watch them again. Garmisch I think had one, but I know for sure there were others. Would collecting such information be at all possible, at least for more recent seasons? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:50, 9 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi! Long time no hear. What's up? Yes, I'm focusing strictly on world records lately, if you noticed i did an intense research to find all the sources to all non dated or missing world records (official and invalid ones). I'm almost complete, still some to find. Some Norwegian user helped me with those old WRs from Norway. Maybe you could help to find those early sources from Norwegian newspaper archives? Sportomanokin (talk) 18:16, 19 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I am not quiet sure what you mean by those World Cup season articles—hill records? The one that only happened for example in 2017/2018 separately under the world cup season and another for the next season and so on? Collecting those informations would be possible by fis-ski.com detailed official results example (but that is a lot of work). However, skisprungschanzen.com, where hill records are updated almost instantly. Just search the hill you are looking (very small number of hill in World Cup) and see the list of hill records under History section. Sportomanokin (talk) 18:33, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

An article you recently created, Lauberhorn (ski course), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to 2021–22 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup.

ArbCom 2022 Elections voter message
 Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:43, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Copying within Wipedia
You did not identify the source of the material in your edit. Presumably, it came from Streif. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but it must be attributed.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

While best practices are that attribution should be added to the edit summary at the time the edit is made, the linked article on best practices describes the appropriate steps to add attribution after the fact. I hope you will do so.

I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that need to be crossed. S Philbrick  (Talk)  14:41, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted
Hi Sportomanokin, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! –&#8239;Joe (talk) 18:47, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
