User talk:Farcazo: Difference between revisions

February 2025

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Skitash (talk) 22:27, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi, thanks, I didn't use the editing summary because when I started trying to put a summary my cell phone started to fail, I tried again but it failed again, I'm going to try to do it again Farcazo (talk) 15:24, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Myrealnamm. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent additions was removed because it appeared to be in a language other than English. We can only accept English-language text on this version of Wikipedia; if you would like to contribute to a Wikipedia in another language, please visit the list of Wikipedias and see if a version of Wikipedia exists in your desired language. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Myrealnamm (💬Let's talk · 📜My work) 01:10, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I'm sorry, the font I used was in Spanish and I didn't realize. Sorry. Farcazo (talk) 01:13, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page 1920 Revolution Brigades, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

Thank you very much for explaining it to me, I didn't know that's why I put it Farcazo (talk) 00:08, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

Appreciation!

Hi Farcazo,
I've noticed that we tend to edit similar pages, and I would like to commend you on the amount of images you add to articles. I think that the importance of images within articles seems to get overlooked by the wider editing community, for one reason or another.
Keep up the good work! Castroonthemoon (talk) 23:13, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

Thank you so much, I also have to congratulate you on all the pages you created or edited Farcazo (talk) 23:18, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

May 2025

Hello! Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to Harakat al-Abdal! However, adding a bare URL is not ideal, and exposes the reference to link rot. It is preferable to use proper citation templates when citing sources, including details such as title, author, date, and any other information necessary for a bibliographic citation. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{cite web}} template to cite a web page:

Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.

which displays inline in the running text of the article as:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

and displays under References as:

1. ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac". Ask a Question. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.

If you've already added one or more bare URLs to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations: in the wikitext editor, try the reFill tool, and in the Visual Editor, the reference dialog can convert some bare urls into a full citation. Moerover, don't cite Wikipedia on Wikipedia. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 23:12, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

Citing Wikipedia on Wikipedia is to claim an event that has its own article and not to be citing source by source.
Thank you very much. Farcazo (talk) 23:17, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

You could use {{see also}} for that purpose. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 01:17, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Thank you very much, I never knew how to do it, because I tried and only got an error.
Thank you very much from me Farcazo (talk) 23:19, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

You're welcome! Let me know if you ever need support with anything else. You can also notify me by either writing {{ping|Est. 2021}} here or writing directly to my talk page. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 01:17, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Thank you very much from me Farcazo (talk) 01:19, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

You're welcome! I have some more tips for you:

1. Never copy-paste text from external websites, as you did for example on Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror Brigade with sentences like It merged into the Sultan Murad Division in 2015 but left some time later. Reportedly responsible for the torture of a man trying to flee to YPG-held territory. from [1]; you could get banned for that, despite we appreciate you as contributor;
2. Only use <br> tags inside infoboxes and tables, not inside the article text itself;
3. When possible, try to avoid links to disambiguation pages; for example, you may link Syrian Turkmen instead of generic Turkmen.
4. We call the country Turkey, not Türkiye.

— Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 01:18, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

1. Yes, I understand that I can be expelled for copyright

2. I use < br > to separate sentences

3. I understand, the use of generic words is wrong, but no source says that he is a Syrian Turkmen and emphasizes that he is financed by Turkey

4. The word Turkey is used by several people but they changed it to "Türkiye", I understand I will use "Turkey" from now on. Farcazo (talk) 01:46, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
