Copyright issues

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from one or more pages to History education in the Netherlands. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an edit summary on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking it to the source page. For example: Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{translated page}} template on the talk pages of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, please add attribution retrospectively for that also, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. (t · c) buidhe 01:04, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Dear buidhe, thank you for your message. Normally I write articles for the Dutch Wikipedia, so I'm not quite familiar with the rules of the English one yet. It is not yet entirely clear to me what actions I should take now. Could you tell me what I need to do specifically to improve the article? I look forward to your response! Kind regards, S.

Proposed deletion of History education in the Netherlands

The article History education in the Netherlands has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Seems to fail WP:GNG. The sources from this article (and half of the article itself) are about the History of the Netherlands, not about history education itself.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Dolores Cannon moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Dolores Cannon, 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 "Draft:" 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.

January 2024

Hello S. Perquin! Your additions to Hawking's time traveller party 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, 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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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. ChaotıċEnby(talk · contribs) 19:14, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the information! I have modified the article a bit. Is it okay now? Kind regards, S. Perquin (talk) ^{(discover the power of thankfulness!)} – 19:28, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

October 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution(s). However, as a general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generalisation, other talk pages such as Talk:Hawking's time traveller party are strictly for discussing improvements to their associated main pages, and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are not a general discussion forum about the article's topic or any other topic. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the Teahouse. Thanks. Belbury (talk) 12:35, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Oh oops, that slipped my mind for a moment. I won't use the discussion page as a talk page anymore! Kind regards, S. Perquin (talk) ^{(discover the power of thankfulness!)} – 13:15, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. By all means drop the other user a talk page message or email, if you want to chat generally about time travel! Belbury (talk) 13:18, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

I will! It was not my intention to have a conversation about it, but out of automatism I kept responding to the user I was chatting with! 😁 Kind regards, S. Perquin (talk) ^{(discover the power of thankfulness!)} – 13:24, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
