Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Hi Timd21! Thank you for your edits to Yale Bulldogs. It looks like you've copied or moved text from Yale Bulldogs men's basketball into that page, and while you are welcome to re-use the content, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. If you've copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 18:13, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

ACFL
Thanks for doing the articles on ACFL teams; I've been hoping for someone to do them for awhile now. If you plan on doing any others, I could help find sources if you'd like. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:09, 10 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Sup BeanieFan!
 * if you could help find sources that would be great! Since the teams are from the 60s old newspapers online are a good source I’ve found. Let me know if you can dig up other sources. Appreciate the message ❤️ Timd21 (talk) 04:34, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Just let me know what teams you'd like me to find sources for and I'm sure I'll be able to find them; I have access to Newspapers.com and NewspaperArchive, two very useful websites for old newspapers. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:09, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to Lowell Giants. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Reading Beans (talk) 05:11, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Timd21! Your additions to Javier Reyes 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) 15:34, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

November 2023
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. A page you created or have recently made significant changes to, Atlantic Coast Football League, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for pages, so it has been blanked and redirected. Three typical reasons for this are that: (1) the article's subject appears to fail our notability guidelines; (2) the article is unsourced; or (3) the sources used in the article are unreliable. The page's history is preserved and it is possible to restore the article: If you believe that this page should remain included on Wikipedia or that this action was taken in error, then you may revert the edit that blanked and redirected the page.Your first article has more information about creating articles, and you may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. –– Formal Dude  (talk)  16:04, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
