Wikipedia and copyright
Hello The ODP, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Operating department practitioner 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * 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 the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * 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 in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:31, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Cubbon moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Cubbon, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Thank you for your recent contributions. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft of your article in draftspace or in your userspace first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you. ~ Ase1este charge-paritytime 15:44, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Okay just need time The ODP (talk) 15:45, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem, there is no wp:deadline.
 * You can move the draft to article space after it is completed.

John Cubbon
Hi - In the article on John Cubbon you linked "Cubbon" to an article on the family Cubbon. In this case, "Cubbon" refers specifically to John Cubbon not the Cubbon family as the sentence reads "Cubbon was commissioned into the Cheshire Regiment in 1931". So such a link would be in appropriate here. A link to the Cubbon family would be more appropriate in the "see also" section. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 16:56, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into Draft:Cubbon. 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) 11:08, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

About Draft:Artto
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Artto a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Artto. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you.

September 2023
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Alssa1 (talk) 10:27, 16 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Information.svg 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!  Alssa1 (talk) 19:08, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * My apologies Alssa1, still getting my head around things. I will make sure I do in the future. Kind Regards x The ODP (talk) 22:16, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Stop hand nuvola.svg Your recent editing history at Manx people shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Alssa1 (talk) 22:31, 19 September 2023 (UTC)


 * The other pages that mention Manx ethnicity have no connection with English people. Like none, not even onnthe 'english people' page. There's the evidence there for me to edit it, yet no one is doing anything about it? Read the page? The ODP (talk) 01:58, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
 * There's a principle known as the BOLD, revert, discuss cycle - you can't just keep reverting long-standing edits you don't like/disagree with and then not discussing it (to resolution). Given the fact that you've consistently gone round different articles removing any mentioned link to the English, as well as saying that because you claim to be Manx you have some unique expertise to do these actions is really not in line with our rules. You say that English people are not related to the Manx, yet 37.2% (as of the 2006 census) of the population of the Isle of Man are born in England; that's a lot more than those born in Scotland, Wales, or on the island of Ireland... Alssa1 (talk) 19:57, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Thats not 'ethnic manx' is it? Thats people born in the UK & Ireland, who are now residents in the IOM? Or are you suggesting that Native Manx people don't have an ethnic identity? Seems a tad intolerant of you. The ODP (talk) 18:28, 22 September 2023 (UTC)


 * What is an 'ethnic Manx' exactly? Do you have reliable sources that define it? Alssa1 (talk) 15:35, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Forget it
Maybe you should visit the IOM The ODP (talk) 18:32, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
