Happy editing! Peaceray ( talk) 18:59, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
Please don't try to use this as a source; it's a fork of Wikipedia, and as such not usable as a reference. OhNoitsJamie Talk 18:53, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello Captain Alarmist! Thanks for your recent edit to Mollymook. I've noticed you marked this as a minor edit and did not provide an edit summary. Minor edits should only be used for things like correcting typos or formatting and things of that nature. Any time you change the content of the article, especially if you are adding or removing a reference, this is not a minor edit. I can see you are relatively new to Wikipedia (welcome!) and it's very much a learn as you go activity! There is a Wikipedia guideline on this that you can check out at WP:MINOR that explains more about what minor edits are used for. I would also encourage you to put a brief edit summary describing the changes you made (or at least what section of the article you changed). It helps other editors out in so many ways and might stop someone from Wikipedia:Reverting your contributions in error, which can be frustrating! Thanks for helping out Wikipedia and happy editing!

Hello Captain Alarmist! Your additions to
Cambridge Public Library 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
Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa ( talk) 14:33, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
Please be more careful with your sourcing; as others have noted previously, our content can be copied and forked as long as attribution is given and the license is correct. You seem to be repeatedly using these mirrored sources in your edits. For example, here you've used a 'book' published by Betascript, which is a simple copy of Wikipedia articles. The link you gave very clearly noted "Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online." A few days before that, your edit here managed two add two clearly-identified mirrors ('dbpedia', 'alchetron') and a junk scraper ('ranker', which often copies sumamries from here). In this edit, you added a 'book' published by 'pediapress', which again copies from here. I mean, the 'authors' are 'by Wikipedians'. I'm asking you kindly to please slow down and carefully evaluate the sources you are using. Sam Kuru (talk) 11:38, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
