Hello Hughbellamy! Your additions to Samuel Morland 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, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Isochrone (talk) 16:04, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Royal Commission for Consolidating the Statute Law. 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. Thank you. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 22:36, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 16

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited James Parke, 1st Baron Wensleydale, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Court of Exchequer.

September 2024

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it.

The Show preview button is right next to the Publish changes button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 17:08, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Repeal dates

When you add a date of repeal, presumably you have supporting evidence, so would you add the citation please? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:21, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi there - yes I do, I have done lots of edits to the Statute Law Revision Acts which contain citations etc.

I must admit I have not seen citations for repeal dates - I thought a link to the Act that repeals it, which contains the list and the primary source would be enough? Hughbe98 (talk) 07:59, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Again, please use Preview.

Your edits at Scottish Representative Peers Act 1707 and Diplomatic Privileges Act 1708 badly damaged page readability through broken formatting. Please get in the habit of using Preview to show any errors before submitting. Thank you, Jessicapierce (talk) 00:12, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Removing sources

Please do not remove from an article any source that shows that the article satisfies GNG. If you do that, you will probably get the article deleted. The main purpose of references these days is to show that the article satisfies GNG. There are people on this project who are trying to delete as many articles as possible, who will not accept any claim of notability other than GNG, and who will not attempt to perform anything resembling a BEFORE search. They are so completely out of control that it has become more or less absolutely necessary for every article to contain sources that show the article satisfies GNG. James500 (talk) 05:22, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia

When copying content from one article to another like you did at Statutes (Definition of Time) Act 1880, you must attribute the source of the copied content, in this case Time in the United Kingdom. This is to maintain attribution to the original authors of the text you copied. See Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia for suggested ways of doing this. Nthep (talk) 19:17, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Please use Preview

Again, if you would please get in the habit of using Preview, it would prevent unnecessary cleanup work. Your recent infobox-breaking errors at Petitions of Right Act 1860 and Municipal Offices Act 1710 would have shown up immediately on previewing, as they occur at the top of the page. These big errors are so easy to make through small typos - I definitely make them all the time myself, and Preview usually saves me. Pretty please? I don't mean to nag, we are on the same side here. Thank you, Jessicapierce (talk) 23:43, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing this out, I will try hard not to do this, and to use preview Hughbe98 (talk) 11:06, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi saw you corrected one of my edits. Really sorry 😔 have been improving my edit process but the volume is big and this one slipped through the cracks

I’ll continue to be more careful Hughbe98 (talk) 21:44, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Acts of Parliament (Commencement) Act 1793

This act wasn't retrospective, so please stop adding it to articles about acts passed before 1793. Richard75 (talk) 17:41, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi Richard - thanks for correcting this.

I had misunderstood the note in Act of Uniformity 1558 - Wikipedia as implying that the act was itself an ex post facto law!

1. The Act of Uniformity was passed in April 1559. However, all acts of Parliament prior to the Acts of Parliament (Commencement) Act 1793 (33 Geo. 3. c. 13) were ex post facto laws that came into effect on the first day of the session. The first Parliament of Elizabeth I met three months earlier in January 1558; the year 1559 did not begin until 25 March 1559. Therefore, the Act of Uniformity was officially dated 1558 by the Statute Law Revision Act 1948 (11 & 12 Geo. 6. c. 62).

I will conduct a review of past edits to ensure that this is fixed. Appreciate your review 😊 Hughbe98 (talk) 09:03, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Categories

Please note that you're not allowed to go around filing pages in categories that do not exist.

While some years do have their own dedicated year-specific categories under Category:Acts of the Parliament of England by year, they don't all have their own dedicated year-specific categories yet. So if "Acts of the Parliament of England YYYY" exists for the year you want to use, then feel free to use it — but if it doesn't exist, then you must either immediately create the category yourself, or simply use the generic Category:Acts of the Parliament of England instead of the year-specific subcategory if you're not inclined to create it.

Your list of options does not include leaving it sitting on the page as a redlinked category, because pages are not allowed to be left sitting in redlinked categories: you must either create a new year-specific subcategory immediately, or leave the page in the undated parent category. Bearcat (talk) 14:31, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Just a reminder again, because I'm continuing to see new redlinked "Acts of the Parliament of England YYYY" categories that you left on pages after being advised not to do that. You are not allowed to leave pages sitting in redlinked categories that do not exist to have pages filed in them — you must either create the category yourself immediately or not use it at all if you can't be bothered to create it, and simply leaving pages "filed" in a redlinked category is not on your list of options.

Since I've already had to advise you of this twice, note that if I have to come back to advise you of this a third time I'll have to report you to WP:ANI for being disruptive. Bearcat (talk) 14:33, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:1 Elz.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Acts of the Parliament of Ireland 1690

A tag has been placed on Category:Acts of the Parliament of Ireland 1690 indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:58, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Please go ahead and delete. I meant to create this for England 1690 :( Hughbe98 (talk) 19:00, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
