Hi. At this page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:PaulThePony#Copyright_problem%3A_Draft%3AAn_Indigenous_Peoples%27_History_of_the_United_States, I received this notice from Train of Knowledge🚆📚: "This article appears to contain work copied from https://progressive.org/dispatches/writer-indigenous-history-looks-america-s-future-sees-past/, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies."

I have read the web page's contents twice and see nothing there that is in my draft, let alone copied and pasted. Would you be able to highlight the precise passage that has been determined to be improperly copied and pasted? That would be helpful. If it is the case that I didn't do anything improper, re: that web page, how do I then get my article re-reviewed for publication? With thanks. --PaulThePony (talk) 20:33, 26 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Meaningless sentence?

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This is known as a bottom-up method of history telling that reframes United States nation-building by highlighting and centering Indigenous stories into a unique historical narrative.

Much of this sentence seems to be filler words that don't mean anything. Does "this" refer to the book as a whole, Dunbar-Ortiz's writing style, or an entire genre of historical works? What makes the method "bottom-up"? "Reframes", "bottom-up", and "unique" arguably break the dispassionate tone that an encyclopedia ought to have. "Highlighting" and "centering" have almost the same meaning. For all these reasons, I've decided to remove the sentence entirely, although I'm certainly willing to discuss the topic further.

circular reference?

In 2015, it received the American Book Award and the PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature. [circular reference]

I don't understand "circular reference". All the links in this section go outside of Wikipedia. --PaulThePony (talk) 03:33, 17 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

request for guidance

Hi User:Diannaa -- I am relatively new here and see that you "removed unsourced quotation" Can I cure that by a reference to the page of the book that is the subject of this article where the quote is taken from? It is from pages 235-236, in the paragraph following the one in which the two questions are posed by the author. Thanks, Labbrla (talk) 21:53, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi Labbrla . Wikipedia has a lot of technical markup and requirements that take a while to learn! For example, in Wikipedia, quotations always get a citation. If you don't know how to do that, please see Help:Referencing for beginners. Bullet points are for bulleted lists; section headers are created using section header markup. Don't use colons to indent your paragraphs; colons have a special meaning in html markup - it's a type of list markup. I have fixed everything up for you. — Diannaa (talk) 00:25, 27 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thank you so much for your suggestions, and for fixing the page! I clearly have lots to learn! Labbrla (talk) 01:31, 27 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
