Religion in South Korea

Hello! Your removed of the sourced sentence on Religion in South Korea Page, but not provided any specific reason. Because I think the edit was not constructive, as the sentence was reliably sourced and also doen't seem controversial. I've thus reverted the edit. If you think, your edit was correct, could you please tell your reason here please or can tell if it happened by mistake and was trying to do something else?

Brazil's Census Categories.

Hi. I just wanted to say that, although I understand that the Brazilian government using the term "yellow" or "amarela" to describe people of East Asian background contrasts with the English-speaking world, where the term is now considered "outdated and wrong", I would like to point out that English-language Wikipedia still uses the term "coloured" in the page for South Africa, as does the page on the term. Even though by modern standards, the term is generally considered offensive.[1][2][3]

So if the South Africa page can use the term "coloured", then I don't see why Brazil's page can't use their proper census terminology. You have not provided and I have not seen any guidelines or policies on Wikipedia that prohibit the page from saying something like: "1.09% Yellow (East Asian)" or "1.09% East Asian (Yellow)" in the infobox, with a footnote explaining everything. But, there has been discussion started on the talk page.Clear Looking Glass (talk) 22:59, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Clear Looking Glass "Coloured" is specific ethnic term for which there is no alternative term in English. Meanwhile Asian or East Asian can be easily used to refer to "Yellow" people. Bundestag1 (talk) 08:10, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tanzania, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page English. 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) 06:01, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Large series of useless edits

Hi Epiphyta, can I ask why you made a large series of useless edits to your userpage? As these edits caused you to become extended-confirmed, it looks a fair bit like gaming the system to me. firefly ( t · c ) 15:06, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into Draft:Religion in Madagascar. 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. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 10:52, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa Sorry I didn't know about this rule before. I actually copied content from multiple Wikipedia articles to create a comprehensive and relevant article. RegardsEpiphyta (talk) 11:15, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Draft:Religion in Madagascar

If this was the first article that you created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

The page Draft:Religion in Madagascar has been deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. As the page met any of these strictly-defined criteria, it was deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been deleted are:

It appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion Review Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 16:41, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
