Making pointless edits to get EC status was not a good idea

[edit]

I've removed your EC status, as making null edits to gain it is not permitted. If you remain as an editor in good standing and make 100+ useful edits, you may request it. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:37, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sir I am sorry to bother you, I have tried to make more than 100 constructive edits since your message and I feel like I can request it back. In any case if you feel like the edits are gamed, then, it is fine. Thank you Sir ☢️SCR@TCH!NGH3@D (talk) 13:50, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: List of breakaway republics during the dissolution of the USSR (December 20)

[edit]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by MWFwiki was:
The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at List of breakaway republics during the dissolution of the USSR. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.
 The comment the reviewer left was:

I'm not rejecting this, only declining it. I like it, it's well-written, and while it could use some work on sourcing (where the "citation needed" tags are), I am leaving it open for re-submission. However, my primary issue is that it seems to be skirting the edges of WP:REDUNDANT. We have post-Soviet states and the dissolution of the USSR... is there a good argument as to why this information can't be covered in one of these, particularly the former? Indeed, the former has a similar list of states with independence dates, etc. Point being, I need some convicing regarding the notability of this topic, specifically, and why it shouldn't be covered on post-Soviet states. Please feel free to comment here or on my Talk page.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

@Czar Yes Sir, thank you for the Notice. But, I wanted to use as Reference material and I think I will not use it fully . I have realize that wherever a fact from it appear, I can cite the web site. so copied it. I didn't want to add it as part of the article. Sorry Sir SCR@TCH!NGH3@D (talk) 09:23, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Czar sir, i have a question. you happen to be partolling around my recent drafts on communism and do you have any tips to improve? especially Draft:Communism in Brazil. SCR@TCH!NGH3@D (talk) 12:28, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
When you copy a block of text to Wikipedia, even if it's for reference and to be deleted later, it's permanently included in the page's revision history and would need to be deleted in order to avoid a claim of copyright violation. The links I linked above explain this in greater detail. Everything on Wikipedia needs to be paraphrased in your own words, not copied from other sources (except in rare cases).
My advice is to hew close to what reliable, secondary sources say, i.e., peer reviewed history and academic papers, not primary sources from the political parties themselves. I've copy-edited Anarchism in Brazil in the past, which is a good comparison. (I'm more involved with the anarchism project.) Put your contributions in your own words and do not translate/copy verbatim from sources. When you do quote, make sure it is brief and in quotation marks and attributed.
Unrelated but also note per our signatures policy to not use images such as your radiation warning symbol but emojis are okay. You also don't need to address me or anyone else by the honorific "sir". :) czar 13:20, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Everything on Wikipedia needs to be paraphrased in your own words"
1) I realized that and i just kept it there for reference to avoid switching between pages and thanks for the explanation

2) In the article Draft:Communism in Greece i have included a number of sources (in the lead alone) that are directly from the parties websites themselves to show that they promote "revolutionary socialist" or "anti-capitalism". Most of these parties are so small that i can barely find any tertiary sources or secondary sources for that matter. For that purpose, i have used a secondary sources for all of Antarsiya as a whole.

3) Yes i knew that a few days ago and wanted to replace with emoji of the same. thank you SCR@TCH!NGH3@D (talk) 13:32, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If the parties are too small to warrant reliable, secondary source coverage, they usually do not warrant mention in Wikipedia. czar 20:06, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
They have articles eg. communist renewal ☢️SCR@TCH!NGH3@D (talk) 11:05, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
on second thought however, i ended up mostly with secondary sources after TRYING to find primary ones. ☢️SCR@TCH!NGH3@D (talk) 11:09, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
