Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a message letting you know that one or more of your recent edits to Evidence of common descent has been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.
Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 14:28, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
Hello Wyrm127, and welcome to Wikipedia.Some of your additions to Virgo Cluster, Draft:Red nuggets, and Evidence of common descent have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:30, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
I understand my Virgo Cluster and Evidence of common descent edits, I made those before I new that there were copyright rules. But I don't understand what I did in my Red Nuggets draft. Was it my use of "ancient relics" without using an inline citation? Is there any way I can get my work back on my draft and fix it? Thanks for helping me figure out how to edit Wikipedia.

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. If your account is more than four days old and you have made at least 10 edits you can create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!
Calliopejen1 (talk) 21:16, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Hello again Wyrm127. Wikipedia often automatically highlights edits which may be problematic (there can also be false positives), but this brought edit to attention. There are many things to learn on Wikipedia and this type of edit is very common.
We have WP:ENGVAR as part of the Manual of Style with more information. In this particular case the article appeared to be a mix of American and British English. If we can determine that it's closer to a particular variant, for consistency it is best to fix the rare cases to match the dominant variant. By a quick look I have the impression that the article is closer to British English overall (i.e. use of behaviour vs behavior).
It is also similar with date era (BC/BCE, AD/CE) for which we have MOS:ERA. In some cases the English or era style of an article can completely be changed but to do that consensus must be reached on its talk page.
Also similar is the referencing style, if an article uses a dominant variant (i.e. WP:HARV or WP:CS1 style), unless a consensus is reached the style of new references should ideally be consistent with the others.
This allows new article authors the choice of English, era and referencing style, while ensuring some consistency in that article.
Thank you for your contributions and happy editing, —PaleoNeonate – 11:21, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
Oh sorry. I wasn't aware that analysed was used instead of analyzed in British English. I thought it was a spelling error. Thanks! Wyrm127 (talk) 18:09, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Carl Fredrik talk 11:08, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
@User:PaleoNeonate I'm sorry, but no one would address the OP, which was what my question was. I was trying to bring back attention to my question, but irrelevant or already addressed points kept on being brought up. I really wanted to know how "false" would fit into the category of not disparaging your subject. I wasn't trying to start a debate. Again, I'm very qsorry. Wyrm127 (talk) 22:23, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
@User:PaleoNeonate Probably for the best. Thank you for helping me again. Wyrm127 (talk) 03:30, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
@User:PaleoNeonate Nick threatened to block me for incompetence/not being here to contribute constructively if I don't answer him. What should I do? I asked him if he thought I would be blocked if I answered on his talk page (I filled him in on the situation above), and he just said that his talk page is always open. I'm concerned because it feels like I'll be blocked either way. Wyrm127 (talk) 18:53, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
@User:Nick Thorne I made a mistake, but now everything is addressed, so I'll keep it. Why shouldn't he block me? I thought I made it obvious by pointing out that I had addressed every single reply to me, no one addressed the OP, and the main argument used against me was flawed. So now he can understand that I was truly listening to other people, and that I actually had a point. I think it's easy enough for Nick to understand what I'm talking about when I put it under a subject titled "Blocking Me". I wanted to drop this subject (as I said above), but now I guess I have to defend myself so I don't get blocked. Wyrm127 (talk) 04:54, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
