Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Western (genre) into List of Contemporary Westerns. 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. DanCherek (talk) 17:21, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
- Yep - should have tagged it. Sorry. ButlerBlog (talk) 14:36, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
Why the revert to National Electrical Code 100 Volts Topic?
Hi apparently some idiot was here a while ago making stupid edits. For a good reason the IP address was blocked and for a good reason the block was temporary. Now I go write something that is very reasonable about the electrical industry on the National Electrical Code page and you revert it saying that it’s not constructive. The version that you reverted it to is not constructive and therefore your edit is not constructive. What was placed there about 100 V and less is completely false and is not in any way covered by the national electrical code. So I made the article better by removing incorrect and unsighted information and you came back and restored the incorrect and unsubstantiated information. There was a reason for the block in there was also a reason that the block was temporary. And it seems that by trying to make your own rules where you are attempting to make a block permanent by reverting anything someone from an IP address says in contravention to what the administrator decided, you are actually causing Wikipedia to have incorrect information on it by reverting edits. There’s a very good reason why when a user does stupid things we may block them permanently but when an IP address does stupid things we may be more apt to make that block temporary because of the inability to control who’s using the IP address.

Popular pages report
Hi Butlerblog: I added a "List" section to the "Westerns/Television popular pages" page you set up last month. Unfortunately, without a section to put its output into, the report doesn't generate. Here's the link to the troubleshooting page that explains this. Ours didn't work either, which is how I discovered it. Oh well – maybe NEXT month! MeegsC (talk) 07:29, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
- @MeegsC: Thanks - that would explain why Wikipedia:WikiProject_Westerns/Popular_pages generated and the television one didn't. ButlerBlog (talk) 12:36, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
Twelve Tribes Communities Article
Hi,
I see you seem to be an authority and final say on matters involving the Twelve Tribes Communities. Many of your reverts of unproven allegations are unchallenged; and some savory advice you have given to member User:Timkroehler. I have to ask: are you a member of that fine organization?
Cheers and thanks! 98.103.253.178 (talk) 00:01, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
- @98.103.253.178: Actually, no one is the final arbiter of anything on Wikipedia. It's a community-driven project that is built upon consensus. However, there are guidelines and principles that support that work. One of those guidelines would be that if I were a member of the organization, editing the article would be a clear conflict of interest. ButlerBlog (talk) 00:53, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
- With helping a user who was nearly banned for making most of that article while being a member (User:Timkroehler) avoid problems and with re-instating content that user placed, would have had no way to tell you 1: weren't a member and 2: abide by those policies. My bad though. Cheers! 98.103.253.178 (talk) 01:27, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
