Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Cheshire. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Cheshire~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Renamed

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)

Copy/pasting copyrighted content into Wikipedia

One of your recent edits has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

Thanks for your work maintaining the quality of Wikipedia. I’m happy to re-word my contribution. When I went to view the page history I see that you have hidden my edit so that I can’t see what I wrote to see what it was that you objected to. Please send me a copy of the change that you didn’t like, and I will attempt to re-write it in a way that is acceptable. StuartCheshire (talk) 23:32, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You copied material directly from this source. I'm not going to repost what you copied here because, again, it's copyrighted. Just don't copy/paste things into Wikipedia from other sources. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:45, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What’s the best way to add this citation so that it won’t just get reverted and hidden again? I don’t want to get into an edit war. Can you suggest some appropriate text to allow a reference to this citation? StuartCheshire (talk) 07:56, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to add content, it's your responsibility to paraphrase it appropriately. Please read Wikipedia:Copying_text_from_other_sources. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:50, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
