Attribution
You have recently created List of awards and nominations received by Patrick Stewart and List of awards and nominations received by Matt LeBlanc by copying content from Patrick Stewart and Matt LeBlanc, respectively, without providing attribution to the article and work from which you copied them, as required by Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. As you have removed and ignored previous messages regarding this, please consider this your final warning. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:21, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, I don't fully understand what you are asking. I often don't copy large portions that can't be recreated by myself. In fact I often re-create my own tables. Also how are you able to specifically find who originally created any table? It's often difficult isn't it? Other than scrolling through pages and pages of page revisions. If you have any tips please let me know. I wrote a general, "credit given", when creating these pages. Thanks!The One I Left (talk) 00:21, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Some of the content you are "re-creating" in some of these list articles were copied from other Wikipedia pages; the references cited for instance are exact copies. Even if you reformat the tables, it is still copying. Please read WP:PATT very carefully to see how to give proper attribution. Merely writing "credit given" is not sufficient. The easiest way to give proper attribution is to leave an edit summary that says: "copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution". See this edit summary as an example. Bennv123 (talk) 13:56, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- And as I stated in my previous message, proper attribution is still required (not optional) for all your previous articles too. That means that you should go back to your previous articles, and if some of the content was copied from another Wikipedia page, you should leave an edit summary that says something to the effect of: "my previous edits copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution". See this example. Bennv123 (talk) 14:05, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Ah I see now. Thanks very much for the examples. Will do so in the future and will work on going back as well. Cheers!The One I Left (talk) 16:24, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- When creating a new list, don’t use “content in previous edits were copied from [[page name]]” in your edit summary since a new page won’t have any previous edits. Just put “content copied from [[page name]].” Thanks. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:29, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Melissa Barrera (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

- disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
- is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to Michael Jackson.The specific details of these sanctions are described here:-
Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

With this edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mo%27Nique&diff=prev&oldid=1082665458 you quoted Netflix as:
"African-American woman have been paid substantially more money to create comedy specials for Netflix’s streaming service than what was offered to Plaintiff...and Plaintiff fails to explain why she was entitled to be offered what the stars to whom she compares herself were offered for creating such comedy specials."
... however, the source quotes Netflix as:
“[H]er Complaint contradicts its core premise by noting that other persons of color, other women, and another African-American woman (like Plaintiff) have been paid substantially more money to create comedy specials for Netflix’s streaming service than what was offered to Plaintiff,”
You left off the first half of the sentence. That's fine, except you need to indicate that somehow. With elipses, for example, "...African-american woman (like Plaintiff)"
You also removed "(like Plaintiff)" which Netflix actually said, and did not indicate removal. We cannot just remove stuff others have said in order to improve flow, or whatever the reason was you removed that.
When we quote something, we are saying the source said it EXACTLY as we are quoting, unless we properly indicate otherwise. Your edit has already caused another editor confusion, thinking "woman" was a grammatical error, and not the result of your quoting Netflix out of context. Please, when quoting, quote EXACTLY, or otherwise indicate that what we are quoting is in some way different. Le Marteau (talk) 22:54, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
