Disambiguation link notification for March 30[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Colorado, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CDOT (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

[edit]
Hi, GunnisonMarmot. I saw that you created and edited my User talk page, and I want to get back to you about that. I don't know why you reverted my updates[1], because I made formatting and syntax updates that were needed on the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Colorado page. I removed some information that was not directly relevant to the coronavirus pandemic, specifically, "Many Health insurance companies will pay the Doctors the same rate for a virtual visit as in-person. Previously insurance companies only paid about half as much. Also, Medicare may wave co-payments on these visits. So, this is an affordable way to maintain the spread of infection." These sentences contain information that isn't relevant to the pandemic. Furthermore, the comment on affordability is an opinion, so it shouldn't be listed in an encyclopedia article.

Hi H1posts, thanks for stopping by. I didn't mean to create a page for you, but I wanted to ask about the post before I reverted it back to the way it was, and I was hoping for an answer before I did. -- the part that needed to remain for the article was == Many Health insurance companies will pay the Doctors the same rate for a virtual visit as in-person. Previously insurance companies only paid about half as much. Also, Medicare may wave co-payments on these visits. So, this is an affordable way to maintain the spread of infection. == I consulted with a few others and decided since it was in the article and part of the reason for the post, that it should contain information on Insurance companies working with tele-doctors. So, I put it back. The typos corrections were fine as far as I know, and shouldn't have been removed, it was that part I wanted back in. if you still have a problem with this after considering this, please feel free to follow up, and maybe we can come to a decision that makes us both happy, or get someone else in the teahouse to help us decide. Let me know. Relevancy is pointing to tele-doctoring during the pandemic, and insurance making allowances because of the pandemic. Thanks for the help. I will put this on your talk page as well.
Wikipedia and copyright[edit]
Hello GunnisonMarmot, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Colorado 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- 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 the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- 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 in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 12:52, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Dianna, A lot of what you removed under copyright was not added by me. I thought I was protecting copyright by adding the source on the meatpacking story; the howling story was added by another wiki editor. Thank you for fixing our page, and I will figure out what exactly you thought I did wrong. We really do want to protect Wikipedia. Thanks again.GunnisonMarmot (talk) 22:42, 13 April 2020 (UTC) 020 (UTC)

Automatic changes[edit]
Hi, GunnisonMarmot. I saw your edit to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Massachusetts article and wanted to bring it to your attention that you made a lot of what I assume were unintended changes in that edit, such as adding spaces after the colons in filenames and categories. If you're using find/replace or some other automatic way of making changes, please be careful to review them before saving to double check you're not introducing unwanted changes like that. Thanks! GorillaWarfare (talk) 00:57, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
- I've just noticed in your editing history that you are doing this on a lot of articles. Please consider going back and cleaning up the unwanted changes you've introduced. GorillaWarfare (talk) 01:01, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
