Hi. Many thanks for your message and the kind comments. All the files should now be available on Commons (with the same file names) and available for you to use in your article. Best wishes, Timothy Titus ^{Talk To TT} 10:04, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again Howard. I've had a look for you - not very easy, because I don't speak Chinese, or understand the characters! However, I have made some alterations to the code you were using, and the images are now displaying. Perhaps you could double check, but as far as I can see (after a 5-minute "teach yourself Chinese characters" course on-line) I think I've got everything in the right place for you. All best wishes, Timothy Titus ^{Talk To TT} 13:22, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Invite to Research Survey

Hello Howard61313,

I'm part of a team that is researching ways to help Wikipedia editors find interesting content to contribute to Wikipedia. More specifically, we are investigating whether content from news sources can be used to enhance Wikipedia editing. We are creating a tool, called wikiFeed, that will help Wikipedia editors make connections between content from Twitter or RSS news feeds and Wikipedia articles. We are currently gathering data which will help us in the development process and would love to learn about how you consume news content and how it relates to your Wikipedia editing. If you would like to help, follow this link to complete a brief survey. Your feedback will help us create a better tool.

For more information about wikiFeed, visit our project page. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask via my talk page, or by email at wikifeedcc@gmail.com. Thanks for your time! Jeremey Bentham (talk) 16:19, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

January 2013

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. - Happysailor ^(Talk) 17:10, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Speedy at Shanzaihou Military Housing Complex

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for taking the time to create a page here. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you created yourself. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the deletion tag you removed from Shanzaihou Military Housing Complex. Please do not continue to remove the deletion tag, instead, if you disagree with the deletion, you can follow these steps:

Go to the page by clicking this link. Once there, select the button that says Click here to contest this speedy deletion.
This will take you to the talk page, where you can make your case by explaining why the page does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do. For further help about the deletion, you could contact the user who first placed the tag or a highly active user who is willing to help with deletion. This message was left by a bot, so please do not contact the bot about the deletion. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 17:13, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Yangmingshan American Military Housing with this edit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. - Happysailor ^(Talk) 17:18, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Speedy at Shanzaihou Military Housing Complex

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Shanzaihou Military Housing Complex. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 17:23, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese characters in Vietnam-related topics

Please note that Vietnamese no longer uses Chinese characters since the beginning of the 20th century, so adding Chinese characters to articles about things that were created since the beginning of the 20th century is anachronistic and misleading. DHN (talk) 08:54, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from China–United States relations into Taiwan–United States relations. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:56, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Betty Ong

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edits to Betty Ong, as we really appreciate your participation. However, one of the edits had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. Although there is a source cited at the end of the passage in question, in only supports the name of one of Ong's sisters, and not both. Nor does it make any mention of the Chinese spelling of their names.

Also, the word "respectively" is not used when merely listing two items in a list; it's used when two items in one list are correspondingly linked to two items in a separate one. (For example: "The towns of West Hoboke and Union Hill were founded in 1861 and 1864, respectively.")

If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 14:50, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Howard61313! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Nicholas (Smisko) several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Nicholas (Smisko), please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Mason (talk) 04:49, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Hyojung, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 17:08, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Category:Western European Union, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Please review how categories work, especially eponymous categories ^SMason_Garrison 13:56, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Smasongarrison: You didn’t mention why the categories I added failed to be existed and supported by the article’s verifiable content. Please be more specific. Howard61313 (talk) 21:31, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You added a ton of categories that weren't defining. Western European Union is an the international organisation and military alliance that succeeded the Western Union. It isn't defined by the relationships between each nation, hence all the Country A-Country B relationships aren't relevant to an eponymous category. Please review Wikipedia:EPON and overcat. Further, adding Establishments in FOO isn't relevant for an eponymous category. ^SMason_Garrison 21:40, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to 1917 (2019 film), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Your edit is not directly supported by the sources you cite. What you are adding is WP:SYNTH. It also contradicts the film's credits. – notwally (talk) 19:06, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to 1917 (2019 film). Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Your edits are original research. None of your sources directly say what you are adding. You are making inferences based on the images you are seeing. Stop adding this content into the article. Your repeated restoration into the article is becoming disruptive and violates WP:ONUS. If you disagree, then start a talk page discussion and gain consensus for your inclusion. – notwally (talk) 23:35, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
