User talk:5.104.90.107

April 2019

Hello, I'm CorbieVreccan. I noticed that you recently removed content from Indigenous intellectual property without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 18:23, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

@CorbieVreccan: Actually, if you look on the talk page you'll see a clear explanation of why the material was removed. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. If you want to include the information the WP:ONUS is on you to build consensus, not on me. 5.104.90.107 (talk) 18:26, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

[Edit conflict]: I was substituting the warning below, for this reason, when you posted. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 18:33, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Oh, ok. 5.104.90.107 (talk) 18:34, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Indigenous intellectual property shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
You are also deleting sourced content to insert completely unsourced Original research. As you stopped just short of being blocked, you seem to be aware of the rules here, so note that editing logged out is the same as using your named account if you have one - policies apply per user, not per account. Your opinion that there are "too many examples" is your opinion. You will need consensus to go forward with changes like this and you do not have it. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 18:31, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

@CorbieVreccan: I'm sorry. I haven't even touched the page since your last message let alone edit warred. 5.104.90.107 (talk) 18:33, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

I did not "stop just short of being blocked". I only reinstated my edit once after being reverted. The second reinstatement was only after the other user said it was OK. I have not reverted since nor do I intend to until discussion concludes. 5.104.90.107 (talk) 18:40, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Copying and pasting entire articles into your user talk namespace.

Hi IP 5.104.90.107. While it's generally considered OK to work on improvements to articles in user sandboxes, etc., please try to avoid copying and pasting entire articles into your user talk namespace because doing so often can create problems. Although the text in a Wikipedia article is released under a CC BY-SA 3.0 license, copying and pasting content from any Wikipedia article onto another page still requires that proper attribution be given per WP:PATT and WP:RUU or else it is going to be considered a copyright violation. Moreover, often images used in articles are licensed as non-free content and non-free files cannot be used outside of the article namespace per WP:NFCC#9. Finally, copying and pasting an entire article into your userspace, improving it in some way, and then copying and pasting your new version back it the article namespace might make it hard for others to know exactly what changes you've made from looking at the WP:DIFF. -- Marchjuly (talk) 15:28, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
