Becoming Wikifriends

Hello there @Frap!. I saw your recent contributions to the first article I created MakeCode, and I wanna say thank you! Also, I found out that you and I are basically interested in the same subject, technology and computing. Would you mind becoming a wikifriend with me? Vinizex94 (talk) 12:10, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for creating articles and improving Wikipedia! I noticed that one of the GitHub link points a 404 though. -- Frap (talk) 12:17, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the warm welcome, User:Frap. Glad to connect with a fellow tech enthusiast here. 🙌

Ah—got it now. When you mentioned the GitHub link returning a 404, you meant it's pointing to a non-existent or broken page. I’ll take a look and fix it or replace it with a working link if I can find one. Appreciate you catching that!

And yes, I’d be happy to be wikifriends—always great to build with others who love tech and computing too. See you around the namespace! Vinizex94 (talk) 12:56, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A cup of tea for you!

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Frap! Your additions to MoonBit (programming language) have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license—to request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.

Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.

Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.

Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.

Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § Licensing.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 14:49, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note - I messed up. The above message is totally not applicable. -- Whpq (talk) 21:34, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think there has been a misunderstanding. I didn't create the MoonBit article, but I did edit the article but my edits had little to do with text of the article and more to do with infobox, categories, formatting, style, portals, templates, etc. Frap (talk) 21:17, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. You are right. I misread the history. I apologize for my mistake. -- Whpq (talk) 21:33, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Revoking your autopatrolled user-right

Hey, I've been looking at a few of your recent articles, and creations like Aurora Store, RISC-V ecosystem, Ed Calderon and Cockpit (software) do not meet the high bar for the autopatrolled userright. I can understand that you are creating these articles in good faith, and want to increase Wikipedia's coverage of FOSS software, but the current expectations from article creators who have the auto-patrolled user-right are that their articles have enough reliable references to clearly demonstrate that they are notable. None of the articles I linked do that. As a result, I'm revoking your autopatrolled userright so that the articles that you create get atleast a once-over by another member of the new page patrol folks (who can then identify issues and apply tags that you can fix). (also cc @HJ Mitchell who originally granted you the userright back in 2011) Sohom (talk) 03:10, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
