Copying/moving content within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from History of Sierra Leone into Mende people. 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., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. 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 Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:27, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Bissau

Hi Catjacket. You added references to "Mendy 2013" to Bissau, but no such work is defined in the article. Could you added the required cite to the Sources section, or let me know what work this refers to? -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 12:17, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out. Confusion between different editions of the same book. I'm still working on the history section, but I'll fix this ASAP. Catjacket (talk) 12:26, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks Carjacket. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 12:29, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I see you've contributed a lot to Ghana Empire, would you be interested in a taskforce on oral tradition? Kowal2701 (talk) 19:51, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Absolutely!! I've never worked on a Wikipedia taskforce before, but very excited to participate. How does it work? Catjacket (talk) 02:39, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

It’s a place for people to collaborate on improving Wikipedia’s coverage of oral tradition. It’s still very nascent so there are lots of things that need to be done and what exactly it’ll involve hasn’t been completely clarified, at the moment we’re discussing the scope. Anybody can suggest initiatives on the talk page and edit the main page (there’s no leaders, it relies on consensus) and give ideas. I recommend seeing WP:WikiProject Kowal2701 (talk) 06:33, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi, sorry I should’ve said earlier but we’re working on Draft:Oral traditions of the Soninke people if that’s something you might be interested in? None of us speak French so we can’t access a lot of the literature Kowal2701 (talk) 10:50, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

For sure, I'll take a look and see what I can contribute. I speak French, are there any paticular sources that y'all need help integrating? Catjacket (talk) 18:52, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

I haven’t been able to have a proper look but there’s a couple mentioned in Conrad and Fisher’s “The conquest that never was”, I’ll give the links in a sec Kowal2701 (talk) 19:16, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

We’re looking at rewriting the sections on epics so that they’re summaries rather than transcriptions and translations Kowal2701 (talk) 19:18, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

There's fr:Bida (mythologie), [1] [2] [3] [4] and Legende by Monteil (I can't find a link) Kowal2701 (talk) 19:38, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
