Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 03:19, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Mercury Cougar into Draft:Mercury Cougar (eighth generation). 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. Thank you. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 03:20, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, How do I add this attribution to the page? the information from Mercury Cougar page is very good for the new page, I would just like to add more to it without crowding the original page, Thanks. Luftwaffespectre (talk) 03:33, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I've already done it for you for this one.

Going forward, make sure to add a link to the original article in the edit summary when you're copying content, and to also explicitly state in that edit summary that you're copying content.

Cheers

Thank you, I have already moved the accurate information to the main article and deleted the information from the draft. Luftwaffespectre (talk) 05:25, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Mercury Cougar (eighth generation) (December 8)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.

This submission appears to be taken from https://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/showthread.php?49924-Mercury-Cougar-(8th-gen)-1998-2002. Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure.

You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work.

Draft:Mercury Cougar (eighth generation) may be deleted at any time unless the copied text is removed. Copyrighted work cannot be allowed to remain on Wikipedia.

I have removed the copyrighted work but it appears that website it is taken from is saying Wikipedia is the source of the work. Luftwaffespectre (talk) 03:49, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Luftwaffespectre! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

See you there! Dan arndt (talk) 03:31, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Mercury Cougar (eighth generation) (December 8)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by WikiOriginal-9 was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Mercury Cougar (eighth generation) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
