Welcome to wikipedia! Let me know if I can help with anything— Jared Zimmerman (talk) 08:35, 17 October 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaredzimmerman (WMF) (talk • contribs)

Look forward to see you at Berkeley today!

Hi there. Thanks for signing up for the WikiWomen's Edit-a-Thon at Berkeley that is happening today. I look forward to seeing you! We have changed the on-campus venue due to the response we've had, via Wikipedia and Facebook. Please take a look at the event page. If you get this message too late, we'll have a sign on the door of the former location directing you to the new one, which is only a short walk. See you then!

Ways to improve Alfred Brooks (dance)

Hi, I'm Meeeeeeee39. Jooojay, thanks for creating Alfred Brooks (dance)! I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. as a blp, the article should have more references, also, i'm not sure what the title refers to, and as such, will not be changing it personally. If you could look at the title and article, and consider what the title should be. The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. m8e39 10:46, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

m8e39 Hi. The title of this page refers to a man's name Alfred Brooks, as that this is a common name and wikipedia has many other people with the same name it specified his profession (dance) as well, which is common on wikipedia. I have left you further comments on your talk page. Please do not flag everything for deletion because you are confused or disagree, as that is not proper procedure on this site. If you have an issue with citation and think it needs more than three citations for a basic stub article then feel free to add them please. My citation are from a published newspaper, and are in proper form. Otherwise you are just making more work for other people and it is considered rude. I am removing the incorrect tag you placed on this stating this is a BLP, seeing that this person is dead. Jooojay (talk) 17:31, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Robert Boardman Howard, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to contain material copied from http://www.artandarchitecture-sf.com/tag/robert-boardman-howard), and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! While much of the original copyvio has now been edited out, I've listed it and am putting this here because it seems that you may not fully have understood that pasting copyright material into Wikipedia is not acceptable. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:59, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi Justlettersandnumbers, I am sorry I am a little confused? You are accusing me of copy and pasting from a significantly smaller article with less detail, adding me to a potential ban/blocked list in the future for editing and deleting the whole article to make an "example of the situation"? But I can fix the article in a special editing space (which you mention has been fixed already) but otherwise it will be deleted? Please explain further because I am confused. Jooojay (talk) 17:57, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
I am looking at https://tools.wmflabs.org/dupdet/compare.php?url1=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fw%2Fapi.php%3Faction%3Dquery%26prop%3Drevisions%26titles%3DRobert_Boardman_Howard%26rvlimit%3D1%26rvprop%3Dcontent%26rvstart%3D20141116165001&url2=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.artandarchitecture-sf.com%2Ftag%2Frobert-boardman-howard%29&minwords=2&minchars=13&removequotations=&removenumbers= and this is further confusing me? Jooojay (talk) 18:04, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
Hi, Jooojay! I'm sorry to have confused you. Put simply, it is not OK to copy material from other websites and paste it into Wikipedia. That seems to be what you did at Robert Boardman Howard, where I've posted on the talk page an example of what I see as the problem. To my chagrin I find that you also seem to have done the same at Adaline Kent - content copied from the same website - and I have now blanked that also and listed it for processing at WP:CP (but I'm not putting another space-consuming template here). I don't think the articles are at any risk of deletion. You can work on a new copyvio-free version by following the link above, or wait a few days until they've been cleaned up and then go from there. If you do decide to work on a rewrite please do not copy-paste any of the old text into the new version. And, please, from now on ... respect our copyright policies! Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 03:00, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
Justlettersandnumbers,"Put simply, it is not OK to copy material from other websites and paste it into Wikipedia." I think this is a pretty unfair characterization of what's occurred here, the tone, and wording is totally inappropriate for talking to another contributing member of this community, is condescending, and not helpful. I'm not sure what your goal here is, but when I see community members relying on templates and bots to mediate their actions rather than interacting in real ways with each other I have serious concerns about the health of this community. I want to see teaching and mentorship. Good mentors don't threaten, berate or belittle "To my chagrin I find that you also seem to have done the same at Adaline Kent - content copied from the same website" this tone and language is unacceptable. I am putting this here because it seems that you may not fully have understood how your actions affect the health of the community, and its ability to attract new member. Lets be BOLD and make this a more welcoming place for all who want to participate and contribute. Jared Zimmerman (talk) 05:50, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
