Image without license[edit]
Unspecified source/license for File:Apollo-astronaut-landing-41162.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Apollo-astronaut-landing-41162.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 03:46, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi! I looked into this and it actually looks like this image is already on Wikimedia Commons under the name File:Aldrin Apollo 11.jpg. Since this makes your image a duplicate, it will unfortunately likely have to be removed from Commons. This can be an easy mistake to make so don't take it too badly - just be more careful next time. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:44, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
- Also, when uploading images always make sure that you attribute the image properly and ensure that you're uploading something that is released under a copyright that is compatible with Wikimedia Commons. We have a training module on this that I'd like you to review before uploading more images, thanks. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:45, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
April 2019[edit]
Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Space colonization. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please don't add opinion and unsourced speculation; this is WP:SYNTH and WP:OR. Also, your use of English grammar and spelling is poor. Practice more in your sandbox and ask for help, WP:HELP. Zefr (talk) 13:03, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
Help me![edit]

Please help me with improving my grammar in my edit on the Space Colonization page. I've reviewed it and critiqued it multiple times and yet I still keep getting my edits removed! Any help would be much appreciated. This is a new type of writing for me, and it's difficult to see what information is biased when I have so many sources and all of them are reliable sites.
Joeygaig (talk) 16:05, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
- We can't improve your grammar skills for you, you need to do this yourself as a certain level of skill with grammar is required to adequately participate here. Your grammar is not the only or even most important issue; the user that removed your edits said in the edit summary "Speculation, synthesis, and opinion". Please read about original research. 331dot (talk) 16:27, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
- If you are editing as part of a class, I would suggest consulting with your instructor/teacher. 331dot (talk) 16:29, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
I consulted with my teacher, as well as made the necessary changes and improved the grammar in my edit. However, wouldn't all of the information be speculative? Space Colonization is a theoretical concept, and most of the content in the article itself is theoretical as well such as landing on asteroids for money since we haven't actually accomplished any of these. I read the article concerning original research, and most of if not all of my facts were backed by citations from reliable sources, mostly from NASA studies and professional research papers.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Joeygaig (talk • contribs)
