Information icon Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Draft:William Lambe (philanthropist). 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) 19:01, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

request for help Draft:William Lambe (philanthropist)[edit]

Hi you recently left a message on my talk page asking for help editing an article that you submitted. I think rather than doing the editing for you as you suggested I would prefer to point you towards different help sections guidelines and tutorials and then answer your questions if you have any after that.

A lead section or lede serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important contents. (click on the link for more info). A useful simple explanation that will certainly help you is here Help:Introduction to the Manual of Style. Domdeparis (talk) 08:27, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't mind I prefer to carry on the conversation on your talk page as this is where anyone who is interested in the draft will start looking to see if there is a discussion going on about it (presuming there is nothing on the article talk page yet).
You wrote
Fair enough - now I know what a 'lede' is I'll do the editing you suggested. But what has happened to all of the links in the main body of this article? It took me ages to put them in and now they've gone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alternativecarpark (talk • contribs) 11:26, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
Do you know how to use the "view history" function for an article? if not click here and then by using the "newer edit" link at the top right hand corner you can see the different differences or "diffs" between revisions and see what each person has added or removed. If you do this then you will see that another user has simply improved the way that the references were added and moved them to the reference section. From what I can tell you have simply copied and pasted the text from the DNB. This is not the advised method for creating an article using the DNB. There is a project that deals with this Wikipedia:WikiProject Dictionary of National Biography. I would advise you to read Wikipedia:WikiProject_Dictionary_of_National_Biography#Two_forms_of_adaptation and maybe join the project. Domdeparis (talk) 13:58, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a 'lede', broken up the text into a number of shorter paragraphs and have inserted links into key words within the text that refer to other pages within Wikipedia. As far as I am concerned, the entry is now 'good to go'.Alternativecarpark (talk) 16:07, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

William Lambe (cloth merchant and benefactor)[edit]

Many thanks for your message on the above article. I am sorry for the confusion but that was an earlier draft of the article, and a more recent and a lot slicker version entitled 'William Lambe (philanthropist)' has recently been worked on by a user called 'ladypaperclip'. So, once again, sorry for the confusion. Alternativecarpark (talk) 09:03, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article is looking way better than the earlier drafts. No worries! Editors commonly work sometimes on the different timeline, while the draft is being developed. Thanks for creating this one. You should create more. I will be glad to help if you have any questions. You may leave me a message at any time on my talk page. Love your editor name, very clever! Cheers!

Your changes to History of Australia[edit]

Hello

I have reverted your addition to the lead because there is already too much information about early explorers in the lead compared with the treatment of this subject in the body of the article. By the way, adding a sentence to the lead is not a minor edit and shouldn't be tagged as such. Happy to dicuss on the article's talkpage. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 22:34, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, I added the information before I realised that there was a reference to it further into the piece. Having said that, perhaps there shouldn't be reference to other early explorers in the lead either - certainly, if other early explorers are referred to in the lead, it would be incorrect to leave out Dampier. Thanks for pointing out that editing the lead in an article is not a minor edit. I thought 'minor' referred to the size of the edit, but clearly not. I shall tick this box in future. Alternativecarpark (talk) 06:55, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion at BLPN[edit]

There is a discussion at the BLP Noticeboard located at Peter Fraser (judge), which you might be interested in since you have been involved with that article. Thanks. Isaidnoway (talk) 08:33, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Sun newspaper is not to everyone's taste but it is a perefectly valid source of information. Many of the UK's best journalists work on the newspaper, although they have to hold their noses to do so. However, if Wikipedia's policy is to treat it as an invalid source then you are perfectly within your rights to remove any information that is derived from it. However the information that you have removed happens to be true. Alternativecarpark (talk) 10:01, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
