Welcome!
Hello, Zakary2012, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed.

Proposed deletion of Nathan Conroy (Australian mayor and election candidate)
Hello, Zakary2012

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Joseywales1961, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I’ve proposed an article that you started, Nathan Conroy (Australian mayor and election candidate), for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. To prevent the deletion, please add a reference to the article. You may remove the deletion tag yourself once the article has at least one reliable source.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with. And, don't forget to sign your reply with. Thanks!

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Zakary2012! Your additions to Nathan Conroy (Australian politician) 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. Wikishovel (talk) 21:37, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Zakary2012. I noticed that your recent edit to List of road routes in Victoria added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you.  -  Sumanuil  '''. ''' (talk to me) 05:34, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Edit warring at K'gari
Hi Zakary2012! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of K'gari several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree&#32;at, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Turnagra (talk) 04:29, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi Most wikipedia editors add an "Edit Summary" when making an edit. You will see the space provided to do this as you make an edit. It's regarded as good practice and an important courtesy to other editors. Thank you. Happy Editing. Nickm57 (talk) 06:34, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Zakary2012, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia. Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:02, 16 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Are you able to tell me the accounts you think I have been working with as I feel there may be a bit of a misunderstanding. You see I made a page for my Userbox, User:Transphobic but I think it may have been set up as user page instead of a Userbox page. Zakary2012 (talk) 06:17, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Out of curiosity, what did that userbox say? GraziePrego (talk) 06:19, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * "This user is transphobic" Zakary2012 (talk) 06:24, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Is that not allowed? Zakary2012 (talk) 06:29, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Not allowed. WP:No queerphobes. Ahri Boy (talk) 08:36, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't realise that it was against the rules at the time. I let my opinion get ahead of me. Plus at the time I thought "transphobic" meant you were against gender transition, not you hate trans people. Now that I know what transphobic means, I greatly regret my decision to make this Userbox and apologise to anyone who was offended by my actions. Zakary2012 (talk) 09:07, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Given that gender transition is pretty integral to the existence of most trans people, how can you think that being just against gender transition is nothing to do with hating trans people? GraziePrego (talk) 10:23, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Unblock
Zakary2012 (talk) 22:16, 16 July 2024 (UTC)


 * It would be better to stay off and come back after six months per WP:SO. Ahri Boy (talk) 22:44, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Don’t spam the review process for your unblock. An admin reviewed and declined your request only 30 minutes ago and you immediately make another request to be unblocked? You’re not showing any sign of understanding why you’ve been blocked. GraziePrego (talk) 22:45, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree with this. My advice to you is to wait for six months per WP:SO, as Ahri Boy said. If you're getting frustrated, I also suggest taking a walk outside for some fresh air, or simply just do some breathing exercises, like I do when I'm stressed. Just think about how you're going to make Wikipedia a better place when you do get unblocked. Right now I don't think the chances of an admin unblocking you are high at all. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 04:14, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Does it have to be six months? Can't it be like a week? Because I really do regret what I did and I love Wikipedia. Zakary2012 (talk) 05:10, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Every single action you have taken since being blocked shows that you have zero respect for the rules or the processes by which Wikipedia operates. You have just spammed out statements which barely disguise that you're just desperate to get back to editing in the exact same way as before. No one who "loves" Wikipedia would vandalise it. Do as others have suggested and just wait. Immediately spamming the unblock process shows that you have zero understanding of why you're blocked and you just want someone to undo the block because it annoys you. GraziePrego (talk) 06:07, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Since I haven't seen anyone else say it, I just want to point out that being "against gender transition" is not somehow less hateful or less transphobic than simply "hating trans people", since it's the viewpoint that transgender people should not exist at all. Just something to think about. 🌸wasianpower🌸 (talk • contribs) 16:48, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
