Image Review

Hello Miracusaurs! It's great to see you uploading so many dinosaur restorations to Wiki. However, it seems you were not aware of the WikiProject Dinosaurs Image review. You can check it out here. On this page, artists can get their work checked for inaccuracies or issues by other users. It would be great if you could run your restorations through here before adding them to articles. Don't worry, I made the same mistake when I started!

P.S. As a side note, it's never a bad idea to list references for your work when you upload.

Best of luck, SlvrHwk (talk) 03:23, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing my work! And yes, I do know about the image review page, but I deliberately didn't want to post them there. But now that you did, I guess it'll be fine. Miracusaurs (talk) 06:31, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

I just noticed that only two of your restorations were added to articles, and you didn't even add them! My apologies for calling you out like that here and on the review page. SlvrHwk (talk) 04:47, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

It's alright. Miracusaurs (talk) 04:51, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Chiayusaurus, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jiayuguan. 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

Hello Miracusaurs! 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. 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.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• 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 either 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.
• 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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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. EvergreenFir (talk) 06:35, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Frederick Sulcer

Hey you brought up this subject on the COI noticeboard. I wrote this article on my late father, Frederick D. Sulcer. I write under my real name. I don't hide behind a handle. So I am asking you kindly to look the article over. Is there anything wrong with it? Anything made up? Biased? Promotional? Please fix it as you see fit.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 12:18, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

I simply linked the discussion on COIN to tell the OP that you were reported there before. I have made no new allegations against you. Miracusaurs (talk) 06:30, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
