Hello, Path2space, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed.

Thank you for your kind message. I signed my name. I am trying to figure out how to insert a new footnote 66 in the reference list (I added the citation right at the end my inserted sentence but it is not a numbered footnote in the reference list). I read this Help:VisualEditor#Adding a new reference. But you can see, I am floundering. Thanks. Path2space (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just saw your comment. Now I reviewed Help: Minor edit page and found it helpful and informative. Appreciate it. Path2space (talk) 01:39, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Science policy of the United States. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:27, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your kind note. Will review and follow the guideline. Path2space (talk) 23:35, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Dianna. If you are an administrator, please help remove this file that I uploaded it by mistake (copyright issues). File talk:Criminal Defense in China The Politics of Lawyers at Work-Cambridge University Press (2016).pdf

I was to upload the book cover under fair use but found out the book was uploaded. I have made a removal request at the talk page. Thank you. Path2space (talk) 22:15, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I tagged some material on

In the future, please do not remove properly sourced material or citations merely because they're tagged as needing verification. These types of tags are quite common for books, periodicals, printed materials, paywalled services, or things not readily accessible. It simply means they need to be checked – which is true for all material on Wiki – and doesn't mean there is any problems with them. -- dsprc ^[talk] 05:55, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. Thanks for reverting. I verified the link but since I did not have the hardcopy book to add the pages, I used the original source of the statute, not a commentary, per editorial guideline. Understand once the book is verified, the verification tag may be removed and the page tag should remain. Hope the author of the article or someone has the book to complete the page tag. Appreciated your remarks. Path2space (talk) 11:08, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"I verified the link…"

It's the source material which must be verified if challenged (being skeptical, I challenged). Unfortunately, the linked URL points to a Google Books page which doesn't allow searching text strings. I've since "procured" an electronic copy which does.

"…used the original source of the statute, not a commentary…"

Generally, the project prefers the latter over the former:

WP:RSPRIMARY

. I wouldn't call it "commentary"… IMHO, it's more curation and contextualization of these information artifacts.

"…per editorial guideline."

To which guideline are you referring?

"…page tag should remain."

You're welcome to retag if desired.

Pages aren't required (or possible!) if citing an eBook, as they lack distinct pagination.

Also: there are no "authors"… each member in the project collectively contributes to our articles. Thank you. -- dsprc ^[talk] 05:36, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your detailed remarks. Path2space (talk) 01:13, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to Human rights without frontiers. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it has no sources and it needs more sources to establish notability. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Thank you. I was adding the references to the published article and now understand that one must have references before publishing. Will follow the instruction and republish it with references. Thanks again. Path2space (talk) 14:30, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Path2space! Your additions to

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 16:59, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Diannaa, for the detailed instructions. They are very helpful. While I add inline citations at the end of sentences of the removed edits, I see I need to use more my own words and structure (proper paraphrasing) without making them original research. Appreciate your time and efforts. Path2space (talk) 20:00, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia.

The conventional approach to marking needed citations is with {{cn|{{subst:DATE}}}}. (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 01:35, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
