Mammalia

[edit source]

The information is from Wikispecies and Wikipedia. The links goes to articles in Wikipedia.Cloud forest (discusscontribs) 05:25, 10 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Please add source information to the resource. Also, see wmf:Terms of Use and the licensing requirements for content at Wikispecies and Wikipedia. The content can be copied and reused, but only if attribution is given. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 17:05, 10 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
You must add source information for anything copied from another source. References must be added to the page(s) that display the copyrighted information. And please note that all information, anywhere, is copyrighted. It may have a license that says it may be reused, but it is copyrighted. At Wikiversity, and all Wikimedia projects, references must be provided to reuse open copyrighted content. Thanks for your understanding. -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 18:42, 14 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Learning Project

[edit source]

Both Mammalia and Magnoliopsida appear to be part of the same overall learning project. What learning project is it that you are creating? What name best describes this effort? -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 18:42, 14 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Please take a look at my user page https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:Cloud_forest.
I studied Biology in Colombia. Cloud forest (discusscontribs) 19:07, 14 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
I appreciate that you studied biology in Columbia, but that doesn't help me put a name to what you are trying to create. I have looked at your user page, and that doesn't help me yet, either. What is it that you are trying to create with these pages? If you don't know the English name for it, please provide the Spanish name for it, or another language, and I will attempt to translate.
Separately, you must provide specific source information for all of the content that has been copied or it will/must be deleted. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 19:38, 14 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Each page is going to be a Biology course (hopefully). It´s about Nature (The life-tree, Evolution, Taxonomy, Biodiversity...)
I collected the taxonomic information from each page of Wikipedia and Wikispecies and compared it with exteral sources. Must I copy the sources used from each page used in Wikipedia and Wikispecies, it´s a hyperlink not enough?

Thank´s

See Wikiversity:Cite sources and Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Citing sources. Anything you copy, from anywhere, needs a reference. There are several ways to cite references. The easiest is with links inside <ref> tags. You may also use one of the many citation templates. Each separate source copy needs a separate reference. If it's not your own words, you must add a <ref> tag.
Life-Tree Project sounds like a good name for now. I'll move the content there. Please note that the pages you are creating are much too long, and will need to be split up into subpages, particularly as more detail is added.
Let me know if you have any questions. -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 00:12, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
[edit source]

You must provide references for any content copied from another source. The copied content has been removed. You are welcome to continue editing as long as you provide references for the content you add. If you continue to add content without references, the content will be deleted and your account will be blocked. Please let me know if you have any questions. -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 14:16, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

I don´t understand how it´s work with the references. Is not a Wikipedia article one? or should I copy the references used on them? Cloud forest (discusscontribs) 15:51, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Are the tables so far OK? Cloud forest (discusscontribs) 15:58, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

If I were to reference the Wikipedia Biology article, I would include <ref>[[Wikipedia: Biology]]</ref>. This needs to go anywhere I copy content from the Biology article. The same approach applies to any other content copied from a Wikimedia project. If I instead copy content from a website, I would include <ref>[http://www.example.com/example/example.html Example: Example Page]</ref>. That needs to go anywhere I copy content from a website, and the website must be open content. Otherwise, I just link to the content rather than copying it.
I don't know if the tables are okay, because I don't know where they come from. Are they your own creation, or was the content copied from somewhere? Anything you create is yours. Anything someone else created must give credit to them, either by name or by link.
Please select one page at a time to work on, and add references for any content you add that comes from somewhere else. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 16:25, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much for your time and work. Is it possible to cite only Wikispecies as source for the sections LIFE-TREE, TAXONOMY and BIODIVERSITY? It is the same information but in other format what I´m doing. Cloud forest (discusscontribs) 18:24, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

The terms of use are that each individual be recognized for their contributions. You can't cite Wikispecies or Wikipedia broadly as a container. You have to cite each individual page you copy from. See Internet Fundamentals/Introduction for an example of a page that copies content from multiple Wikipedia pages.
Separately, if what you are doing is a Wikispecies project, wouldn't Wikispecies be a better place to create it?

See {{cite book}} and {{cite web}}. You'll need to add something like that whenever you copy from an existing source.
I'm not sure what "You may cite this database as" and "If you want to cite this site" means. You will need to add your own references. I'm just a volunteer and have plenty of my own work to do. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 20:34, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Só is it writen on the webpages, Sorry to the inconvenience, I only try to make biodiversity more accesibleCloud forest (discusscontribs) 20:45, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

would you please reload the pages so I can go further in my quest?Cloud forest (discusscontribs) 20:48, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Copyrighted Content

[edit source]

Each of the sections of Life-Tree Project/Mammalia you added recently is copyrighted content and must have a source reference provided with the content. If you copy it from somewhere, you must add a reference when you paste it into Wikiversity.

The copyrighted content has been removed. It is available under history, but if you add it back in again, it must be added with <ref> tags for each source as it is added.

Again, please review Wikiversity:Cite sources and Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Citing sources. Let me know if you have any questions.

Should I write the evolution section with my own words making reference to the Wikipedia articles? Cloud forest (discusscontribs) 14:29, 19 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
You need to reference the Wikipedia articles either way. If you need the content, just copy the content and add a reference to it. But separately, decide whether or not you actually need the content. What value are you gaining by copying it vs. linking to it? How are users who read these pages learning from the experience? -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 15:55, 19 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Colloquium

[edit source]

The Wikiversity Colloquium is used to discuss matters of importance to the Wikiversity community. Please use it for this purpose. -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 12:20, 28 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

As this is now the third warning in four days, your account has been blocked for 24 hours. I have become increasingly concerned that your understanding of and vision for Wikiversity is not consistent with our community. Please note:

  1. This is the English Wikiversity. If you prefer to contribute in other languages, that's fine, but not here. There is a Spanish Wikiversidad you may contribute to instead, if that is your preferred language.
  2. The Colloquium is used to discuss matters of importance to the Wikiversity community. It's not for random quotes and content from projects you are working on.
  3. Large scale movement of content that was already moved in the past due to your efforts is disruptive, and requires significant time investment to resolve.
  4. Collectively, these issues are having a net negative effect on Wikiversity, and will result in your account being blocked.

If you continue with disruptive contributions, longer blocks will be necessary. I encourage you to consider how you would like to contribute to Wikiversity going forward. Visual structure without explanation doesn't add value to others. Please consider selecting a single project and improving on that project as a next step forward.

Let me know if you have any questions. -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 13:00, 1 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Disruptive Edits

[edit source]

Your recent contributions have been disruptive and are having a net negative effect on Wikiversity. Please do not create new pages at this time, and do not move subpages out of their learning project. Instead, focus your efforts on improving the quality of some of the pages you have already created. Let me know if you have any questions. -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 23:59, 30 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
