Hello, I'm Throast. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Ryan Kavanaugh, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Throast (talk | contribs) 17:16, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi what was wrong with the post the articles I linked where reliable sources ?

In case you haven't seen it yet, a more in-depth discussion of these sources and their content is on Talk:Ryan Kavanaugh. Popoki35 (talk) 11:28, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

What in the article is copyrighted ? the article is from an approved source on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources

You copy-pasted text from the source wholesale. Please read the links Throast gave. Copyright violations are copyright violations, regardless of how reliable the source is. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 21:23, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Apologies I had no intention to use copyrighted material, would the below be deemed acceptable

During his career as a producer Ryan has produced, distributed, structured financing for over 200 films, that have generated more than $17 billion in worldwide box office revenue and earning 60 Oscar nominations, he is currently the 25th highest grossing film producer of all time. ^[1]

Best to take it to the article talk. I figure you're trying to evade discussion there because you probably feel like all of your proposals are going to be shot down anyway, but content disputes like these are best discussed at the respective articles. If you want Tamzin's personal opinion, you can tag her there. Throast (talk | contribs) 21:50, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Not at all you started this conversation on my talk page to which I was I was asking an opinion if it is ok, but will move over to the article talk.

Garen67541, I came to give you a friendly warning about close paraphrasing, and have now read the above conversation about copy vio. I urge you take some extra care when writing new content and to read or re-read WP:COPYVIO. Thanks, Firefangledfeathers 22:48, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

apologies I was not aware of that rule, I will re look at the content and thanks you for reaching out :)

Garen67541 (talk) 22:50, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

How could you not be aware of this rule at this point? You've just admitted that you didn't care to read any of the links provided to you in your first warning. Please take Wikipedia policy seriously. You've been involved long enough now to know the basics. Throast (talk | contribs) 22:54, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

There no need to be so aggressive I wasn't aware of this policy, I was made aware of copyright earlier please - I didn't admit I hadn't read any of the link provided - I may have missed something perhaps but im learning as I go and would appreciate a change in your tone.

Garen67541 (talk) 23:11, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

I am not being aggressive and I am not going to "change my tone". I am frustrated at the fact that, while I'm taking time out of my day to try to help you by leaving elaborate warning messages on your talk page, you just seem to disregard it and continue to violate the exact same policy. That's all. Throast (talk | contribs) 23:18, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Your recent comments on Ryan Kavanaugh's talk page constitute a personal attack against myself and another editor. Please review Wikipedia's policy that prohibits attacking contributors. If you see content on Wikipedia that violates guidelines or policies, you should address that content, not contributors. Not only is attacking editors against policy, it's completely unhelpful. If you want to see an improvement, evidence is essential (usually diffs or links). Popoki35 (talk) 11:12, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ryan Kavanaugh, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Sanctum, Season of the Witch and Malavita. 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.)
