History of England article

Hi -- History of England could use your attention. It's section on the Anglo-Saxon invasion links to Sub-Roman Britain but it should obviously link to the article on the Anglo-Saxon invasion and reflect that article in line with our guidance at WP:SUMMARY. It would be great if you could do this. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 09:22, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.

Copyright problems with your expansions to Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain and Anglo-Saxons

Hi J Beake,

I am sorry to have to bring this up, but it seems that there are some copyright problems with some or all of the expansions you made to the articles Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain (in January 2014) and Anglo-Saxons (in February 2015).

In each case, it appears that whole sentences (including references) have been added verbatim from source texts. An example is given at Talk:Anglo-Saxon_settlement_of_Britain/Archive_2#Plagiarism (posted in May 2014), and there are more at Talk:Anglo-Saxons#Social_differentiation.

This is something we really cannot do, as the templated standard message that follows discusses.

I would very much appreciate it if you could re-write the content in your own words, or offer a plan to do so, otherwise, on the face of it, it will all have to be removed, which would be a shame.

Here's the standard advisory message:

Hello J Beake! 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 § License requirements.

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.

I am sorry to have to raise this, but I hope we can work it out.

Problems with "Anglo-Saxon Settlement of Britain" Article

Dear J Beake, I have brought up several problems in the Anglo-Saxon Settlement of Britain article, an article of which you added the majority of content. These problems I have discussed in the Talk:Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain section of this article, but the problems have not been properly recognized nor attended to by anyone. I would much appreciate it if you would take a look at my thoughts for revision. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely, Gordon410 Gordon410 (talk) 20:30, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
