Flashback to Wikipedia's past

Nostalgia is a link to what Wikipedia looked like back in 2001 when we had only 19,000 articles.

The English Wikipedia now has over 6,904,464 articles. (purge server to refresh number). The five-millionth article, Persoonia terminalis, about a rare shrub, was written by an editor in Australia just after midnight on November 1, 2015.

To view an archived version of Wikipedia between 2001 and now, see the Wayback Machine.

[edit]

Hello Greg, have a read here about WP:CWW about taking information from one page within wikipedia (My Dad Wrote a Porno) to another (Belinda Blinked). Basically what you are doing is replicating the page without any attribution, which is not good practice, firstly because its not necessary to have two virtually identical pages, but also it may inadvertantly appear that you are claiming you did the work yourself. I will take a look and trim some of it out, but in future you need to properly attribute copied work and I think at the least you need to make an attribution on talk explaining that the work is copied. I can see that you are a new editor so if there is anything you would like help with don't hesitate to ask on my talk page. Thanks. Mramoeba (talk) 09:01, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made a change to an article, DJ Nihal, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 18:26, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
