Copying within Wikipedia[edit]

Hi Somerby! Thank you for your edits to Danish Realm. It looks like you've copied or moved text from Kingdom of the Netherlands into that page, and while you are welcome to re-use the content, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. If you've copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 18:38, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar[edit]

		The Original Barnstar
		Hi Somerby, I took a look at your edits and you seem to be a pretty sensible and correct editor despite being new, which is not seen too often. Thus, I wanted to give you this as to motivate you to stay on the project. Keep the work up. Super Ψ Dro 19:33, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In case you don't know what is this, read WP:BARNSTAR. They are basically "prizes" that are given in Wikipedia. Super Ψ Dro 19:33, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you a lot! --Somerby (talk) 09:39, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

September 2021[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Enlightened absolutism into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. eviolite (talk) 12:51, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for creating Jamaica Independence Act 1962.
