- Help:Citation tools
- Google book tool Converts bare url into {{cite book}} format'
- refill - Edits bare references - adds title/dates etc. to bare references
- Checklinks - It uses standard HTTP response code and some redirect heuristics to detect dead links.
- refill - Edits bare references - adds title/dates etc. to bare references.
- RefScript - Just drag the (blue) button below onto your browser's bookmark bar to install. - Then, just click the bookmark when you want to generate a reference.
Google book tool
[edit]A tool you may find of use Wikipedia citation tool for Google Books ...with this tool you can change
to this........ Gibson, Gordon (2009). A New Look at Canadian Indian Policy: Respect the Collective, Promote the Individual. The Fraser Institute. ISBN 978-0-88975-243-6....without not linking the preview of the book..
Always best to link to the preview so our readers dont have to search more for the books..as most will never see the tiny link to the preview. -- Moxy (talk)

Cite HOT
[edit]I just reverted your good-faith edits at Margaret Lea Houston. Thank you for trying, but I'd like to see Template:Cite HOT totally disabled, quite frankly. And the reason being, that the Handbook of Texas keeps changing its url, or changes the article ID by one number or letter. When that happens, all our citations made with that become dead links. Then we have to request a bot to find and fix all of them. But no bot gets them all, so we have to do a lot of manual work to fix the deadlinks. This has happened every year or two since I've been on Wikipedia. It's a nightmare. I can't tell you not to use Cite HOT if you want to. But I sure don't want it on Margaret Lea Houston, or any other article I'm active on. It just creates a lot more work later down the link. — Maile (talk) 20:06, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
Nomination for deletion of Template:Cite HOT
[edit]
Template:Cite HOT has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. — Maile (talk) 20:18, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- The reason I put it up for deletion is because it duplicates Template:Handbook of Texas. You are encouraged to comment on the deletion template. — Maile (talk) 20:20, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello Darrend1967, thank you for cleaning up the references in this article. I have partially reverted one of your recent removals of bibliographic entries in the "References" section. Using Template:sfn for shortened footnotes, one "long" bibliographic entry with all details for each reference still needs to be retained in the article. No biggie, I just wanted to let you know some additional information. I have fixed that problem already and tweaked 2 other relatively minor issues. If you haven't done so already, I'd recommend to install User:Ucucha/HarvErrors in your .js-file. This script will highlight inconsistencies in harvard citations (like missing or broken harvard links, or misspelled sfn templates). Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 15:07, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
EB1911 vs Cite EB1911 templates
[edit]I note the changes you've made to, for example A Estrada and Aaron Chorin. Please note that the {{EB1911}} (especially with the inline parameter) and {{Cite EB1911}} templates are different in an important way. The first is intended to mark a significant amount of text (a sentence or more) that is lifted verbatim from EB1911; the second is for an assertion that can be verified in EB, but isn't a direct quote. The purpose of making the distinction is to defend against plagiarism charges; quoting a PD source verbatim is OK so long as it is properly acknowledged. The distinction is described in the {{Cite EB1911}} doc and in Wikipedia:WikiProject Encyclopaedia Britannica. PBS and I have been careful to make the distinction as we've been tagging EB1911 articles. In particular, in Aaron Chorin, the sentence in the lead section is exactly copied from s:1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Chorin, Aaron. Can you review you changes and double-check? Thanks. David Brooks (talk) 04:06, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for the reversions! I didn't mean to sound harsh; Wikipedia is better for the good custodial work you're doing with citation cleanup in general. David Brooks (talk) 16:39, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- Ah, it seems that we were messaging each other about the same time. Glad you didn't find me as harsh as I thought I had been! David Brooks (talk) 21:00, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi there. I'm not sure what this edit did. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:43, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
- It fixes a broken citation tag. One of the citations in the body of the article, specifically "Schmidlin 1904" uses {{Sfn|Schmidlin|1904|at=III, 125}}. The target reference "Schmidlin" didn't have the "harv" tag to connect the citation with the reference.Darrend1967 (talk) 20:48, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
- Ah. Thanks! Magnolia677 (talk) 03:16, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
HI- could you please determine the contries around iraq and syria? like israel and jordan and turkey and iran and saudia?46.143.54.126 (talk) 09:09, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!
[edit]
Hello, Darrend1967. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
coauthors and short citations
[edit]When you made this change you broke the short citation link. There was a reason for using coauthor instead of author2 because coauthor is not included in {{harv}} type links (did you never ask yourself why it was used?) How many other short citation links did you break? -- PBS (talk) 10:25, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Arochukwu, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Igbo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]
Hello Darrend1967, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Cree have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Moxy 🍁 00:03, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Port Refuge
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Port Refuge requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://parkscanadahistory.com/park_summaries/nu-e.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Copyright problem: Fort Assiniboine Sandhills Wildland Provincial Park
[edit] Hello Darrend1967! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Fort Assiniboine Sandhills Wildland Provincial Park, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted material from other websites or printed works.

The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate your contributions, copying content from other websites is unlawful and against Wikipedia's copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are likely to lose their editing privileges.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:
- Have the author release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License (CC BY-SA 3.0) by leaving a message explaining the details at Talk:Fort Assiniboine Sandhills Wildland Provincial Park and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en
wikimedia.org". Make sure they quote the exact page name, Fort Assiniboine Sandhills Wildland Provincial Park, in their email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions. - If you hold the copyright to the work: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:Fort Assiniboine Sandhills Wildland Provincial Park. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.
- If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC BY-SA), version 3.0", or that the work is released into the public domain, or if you have strong reason to believe it is, leave a note at Talk:Fort Assiniboine Sandhills Wildland Provincial Park with a link to where we can find that note or your explanation of why you believe the content is free for reuse.
It may also be necessary for the text to be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
See Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries for a template of the permissions letter the copyright holder is expected to send.
Otherwise, you may rewrite this article from scratch. If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page.

Invitation to participate in a research
[edit]Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
