Happy editing! Peaceray (talk) 16:43, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Excellent work

Greetings!

Excellent work on the templates. If you are interested, you could write a section about Chinese and/or Japanese conservatism in the main article on conservatism under the heading "National variants". Other nations, such as India and South Korea, are already represented. I would have done it myself, but it's better to leave it to someone with genuine expertise on the topic. Then there's also the possibility of creating new articles that deal exclusively with Chinese and Japanese conservatism, respectively.

March 2024

Hello, I'm DB1729. I noticed that you recently removed content from Yamato people 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 your 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. DB1729^talk 11:33, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for providing this explanation. While I have struck through the templated warning above, the message still stands. I strongly suggest getting into the habit of always providing edit summaries, especially for major edits and those involving content removal. I would expect to be reverted if I removed a significant chunk of text without explanation. Editors reviewing should not have to try and figure out why something was removed.

Edit summaries can be a benefit to you as well. I have found them to be extremely helpful in referencing my previous edits, just for my own sake.

Have a great rest of your day:) Cheers! --DB1729^talk 12:06, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. From now on, I will write down the edit summary when I do a large-scale editing. ProKMT (talk) 00:31, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Minzu (anthropology), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Masao Maruyama. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 18:04, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Chinese language text

Hey there, and thanks for your recent contributions on China-related topics. One thing: when you add Chinese text to an article, could you please tag it appropriately as such? It's important for accessibility and other reasons, see this page for details. thanks! Remsense诉 06:22, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

WP:CIRCULAR

Generally, you should not cite other Wikipedia articles, either on the English Wikipedia or another Wikispace, when explaining your edits or making arguments on improving articles. "It's there so why not here?" is an argument to avoid, the reason being that editors can add anything anywhere at anytime if they have editing access. Yue🌙 20:50, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Apologies for the mistaken revert

Sorry for the revert at Hong Kong nationalism, the UI for diffs on my computer changed recently and I still sometimes get the added/removed notation backwards. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 14:12, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Category:Anti-mainlander sentiment in Hong Kong has been nominated for deletion

Edit summaries

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Pieceofmetalwork (talk) 10:59, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Moving redirects

Hi ProKMT! I noticed that you recently moved a redirect. While this is possible, it is not normally necessary, and doing this can (for example) make it harder to find out how long a given redirect has existed for. You can instead create a new redirect from the title you wish to move the page to, and - if you believe that the other redirect should be deleted - you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion.

Let me know if you have any queries. All the best, ‍—‍a smart kitten_[meow] 12:07, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Your edit to Hong Kong nationalism has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

I search for books through google search, how can I usually check the copyright of books? ProKMT (talk) 09:52, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Checking the publication date of the book is the easiest way. Basically, books published in 1928 or earlier are in what's called the public domain, so you can legally copy them as much as you want (but on Wikipedia, you have to tell us that you've done that through something like this template Template:Source-attribution). Anything else, with the exception of some government/state works (varies by nation) is typically under legal protection. While we can cite those sources, we can't copy-paste prose from them, or paraphrase too closely. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 09:55, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Please tell me specifically how to check the copyright of the book after 1928. If not, I can't help but see a drastic reduction in Wikipedia editing. ProKMT (talk) 10:07, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

If it's a book and its publication date is after 1928 you can safely assume it is copyrighted. Simonm223 (talk) 10:44, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
