Happy editing! Wham2001 (talk) 07:47, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Aristotle into Aesthetics. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. When you copy text that includes short citations, eg sfn or harv, then you should also copy over the sources, to avoid a no-target error. I have fixed the no-target errors and attribution in this case. DuncanHill (talk) 13:01, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is from the Aristotle article. When I read through MOS it seemed to say its ok to copy within Wikipedia. The references looked like they were showing up in the article when this was done, and your have added some extra after that. HenryRoan (talk) 23:33, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You did not fully identify the source of the material in your edit. It appears to be Albrecht_Dürer. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but it must be attributed.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

While best practices are that attribution should be added to the edit summary at the time the edit is made, the linked article on best practices describes the appropriate steps to add attribution after the fact. I hope you will do so.

I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that need to be crossed.~~~~ S Philbrick(Talk) 13:20, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It was identified at the time of the edit as: "Adapting from Durer article following copying within Wikipedia to start to cover general topic of sojourn to Italy." Another editor did not like it even though Durer is often mentioned alongside Bosch and Bruegel (Johnbod). HenryRoan (talk) 02:38, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but he is very firmly German! I think I wrote most of the bits taken years ago, & if I thought they belonged in ENP I would have added them there. It's best to have a full link in the edit summary when copying. Johnbod (talk) 03:02, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear HenryRoan, have given a long explanation re your concerns, on Redstar0005's Talk page. Thanks. John315 (talk) 02:07, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
