June 2022

Welcome to Wikipedia. Wikipedia invites everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, but one or more redirects you created, such as with Regional Municipality of Haldimand–Norfolk, have been considered disruptive and/or malicious, and have been reverted or deleted. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thank you. D2W59E (talk) 05:12, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Please do not create malicious redirects, as you did with Regional Municipality of Haldimand–Norfolk. They are disruptive and are considered vandalism, and have been reverted or deleted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. D2W59E (talk) 05:25, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

It have to Norfolk County, Ontario#History is here. Please do not remove to redirect. D2W59E (talk) 05:27, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

oh, i'm sorry I thought I was just creating an article I didn't mean to interfere with anything O-o IndysNotHere (talk) 05:41, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Wait, why not have a standalone article? Why is it re-directing to Norfolk County in the first place? The RM covered Norfolk AND Haldimand, so I don't think the re-direct is appropriate. -- Earl Andrew - talk 19:27, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Yea that is a fair point, there's already sources used for the RM's section on Norfolk's page anyways. I was trying to make a standalone page for it since I didn't think it made sense for it to only be mentioned on Norfolk County's page, while all the other RM's have their own pages. IndysNotHere (talk) 23:02, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

I agree that it should have a standalone article, and I'm not sure why someone with a **week-old** account has decided they know what's best in this situation. I'd say re-create the article, and I will intervene if they revert your edits. -- Earl Andrew - talk 04:06, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks bro but I don't wanna get potentially banned ykwim? lmao IndysNotHere (talk) 04:30, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Eh, nvm, i'll wre-write what I made for the page then re-create it when I find the time. IndysNotHere (talk) 05:20, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

No worries. I've reverted their edits, so you don't have to worry about getting banned ;-) -- Earl Andrew - talk 13:04, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Oh, nice. :) IndysNotHere (talk) 18:18, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Coat of arms of Toronto, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page York, Ontario. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:16, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Flag of Nepean

Hello, I can't find any reference to suggest the flag of Nepean you uploaded was ever used. All I can find is what exists on the Flags of the World website. But it doesn't really state any reliable sources there. In my search on newspapers.org, I found lots of references to the adoption of the green and white flag being adopted in 1980, but nothing about any other flag being adopted since. And having grown up in Ottawa, I can't recall ever seeing the flag you uploaded when I was younger, not that my memory can be used as a source or anything ;-) . -- Earl Andrew - talk 15:20, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

It's flag was based on the coat of arms that was granted to the City of Nepean by the Canadian Heraldic Authority in 1990 (https://www.gg.ca/en/heraldry/public-register/project/1433), the flag with a diagonal stripe was used by the Township according to my research. The flag was never officially granted to Nepean according to the Heraldic Register, but it could've been created by the city itself. CRW Flags does show the flag I uploaded as the flag Nepean used, so I'm just going off of the information I have. IndysNotHere (talk) 18:48, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

According to further research, the flag WAS granted by the Canadian Heraldic Authority. As seen here: https://www.gg.ca/en/heraldique/registre-public/projet/1488 IndysNotHere (talk) 18:50, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Armorial of Principal Areas in Wales

Hello, IndysNotHere. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Armorial of Principal Areas in Wales".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Hey man im josh (talk) 19:10, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Spokane County flag

Heyo. Sorry to be a drag, it's just that the Spokane County flag is actually horrible, and it needs to be represented accurately or people might confuse it for something that shouldn't be immediately gotten rid of or replaced. =)

You can see a clear shot of the actual outline from this newspaper clipping:

https://img.newspapers.com/img/thumbnail/572863611/400/400/1448_300_1075_900

Your first and current versions were obviously much better, but it really needs to be as accurate as possible, in my opinion.

There is no proper blazon or construction sheet, only the original design and a handful of initial reproductions of it, including a few photographs in the newspaper, and, supposedly, there remains an existing flag in the Washington state capitol. Excelsiorsbanjo (talk) 01:44, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

The supplied photo is indeed useful. IndysNotHere (talk) 03:01, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello IndysNotHere! Your additions to Flag of Missouri 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. 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. Please 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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 23:38, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
