Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as 20th Century Games. 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. Please see the following plagiarism report for more information. It shows a 98% match on the content entered into the article: https://api.ithenticate.com/en_us/dv/20220511?o=96381406&lang=en_us MrBauer24 (talk) 19:17, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Warped Kart Racers. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you.

Hello Paxton Jordan. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Warped Kart Racers, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Paxton Jordan. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Paxton Jordan|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:01, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia

You did not identify the source of the material in your edit. It appears to be FoxNext. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but it must be attributed.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

While best practices are that attribution should be added to the edit summary at the time the edit is made, the linked article on best practices describes the appropriate steps to add attribution after the fact. I hope you will do so.

I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that need to be crossed.S Philbrick (Talk) 20:01, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am not too sure what you are referencing, sorry. I found this article through the Copy patrol tool and hioghlighted that it looked to be copied material.

Apologies if I was wrong with this, but it looked very suspect through the copy tool!

Thanks :) MrBauer24 (talk) 20:21, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
