Disambiguation link notification for January 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of shortwave radio broadcasters, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Voice of Tibet (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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 Zhouchengbin, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to List of shortwave radio broadcasters have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 here.
- 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- 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 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.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- 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 in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:47, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Your Contributions to the LTE network lists
Hi Zhouchengbin. Thank you very much for your research and frequent contributions to the LTE network lists. I really appreciate your help! Nevertheless I would like to ask you, if it would be possible for you to complete more of the data fields when you cite sources (such as the |language= or the |accessdate= tags), which you can easily do as you have that info anyway. Also I would find it preferable if one could keep an eye on the cite-formatting that has evolved throughout these articles, but this might depend on the way on how you contribute - I'm not sure quite about that. Anyway I'd consider that very helpful as well, as it would save some time for review. How do you think about that? Nightwalker-87 (talk) 12:31, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Nightwalker-87, nice to hear from you. Most of my edits on Wikipedia are based on visual editing, since I am not very familiar with the source text used in an article. However, your advice is a good idea, I will always try my best to fill all the tags when adding citations. Again, as a member of the Wikipedia family, I really appreciate your contribution to this page and always looking forward to more contributions. Zhouchengbin (talk) 12:42, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi. :-) If you like some help and wish to extend your knowledge with direct editing, including wiki formatting by hand (which offers more opportunities to the editor), please let me know. I'd love to share gained knowledge with other editors. Nightwalker-87 (talk) 15:56, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- Good to hear that. Here an additional note: It is not neccessarily relevant to fill out all tags, I think. So far it turned out that the following were sufficient:
<ref>{{cite web |url= |title= |publisher= |date= |accessdate=}}</ref> Sometimes I personally also use the <ref name=" xyz "> besides multi-linking to point to specific content like "LTE2100" for example to tag what the reference stands for. This appeared helpful if there are already many sources for a specific deployment. It helps to distinguish them and to directly find a specific source among others in the code later on.

Problem with your custom signature
You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.
The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.
The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.
- Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
- Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
- Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
- Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
- Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
- Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
- Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
- Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
- Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.
More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
