A brief introduction to how things work here

• Please sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~, found next to the 1 key).
• Always cite a source for any new information, using <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
• "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
• We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
• Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (such as Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
• Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for. In the case of science, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence. In the case of other beliefs, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine. Ian.thomson (talk) 03:10, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

For when you want to link to other articles: When you want to link to another article, place the article's name between two brackets, [[Like this]] (so, [[Fnord]] renders as Fnord). If you want to link to an external website, place it between single brackets, [http://www.like-this.com]. You can also turn a selection of words into an internal or external link. To turn text into a link [[put the article name before the "|" character|and the link text after that character, like so]]. To turn text into an external link into text, [http://www.like-this.com place a space after the link and type away]. Be sure to have the correct number of brackets.

Disambiguation link notification for December 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Felt, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Casinos. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 02:24, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Drake equation, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. Categories must also be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Comparative mythology, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aruru (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.)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Creation of man from clay into Comparative mythology. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:54, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Comparative mythology. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you.--Biografer (talk) 02:55, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Also, please provide an edit summary, cheers!--Biografer (talk) 02:56, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

I was the one who originally made the changes to the article, but another user mentioned i didnt do it correctly, so i simply deleted what i contributed. cant see how this is "vandalism" per se since it seems im doing the article a favor b/c it wasnt done correctly to begin with.

you folks really need to make up your minds. do you want ppl to volunteer their respective time/effort to make the article better, or do you not ?? if yous do, then simply correct whatever was wrong, and move on. complaining about how it wasnt done to perfection only invites ppl to simply not waste their time, effort and be stressed about.

if yous dont, obviously thats totally ok too. you or someone else can do it. ta-ta Gizziiusa (talk) 05:15, 26 April 2019 (UTC)gizziiusa

Adding "trapping" to Bushcraft skills

Hello!

Don't think there is any problem with adding "trapping" to the list of skills. I had based the earlier examples from books/resources that were specifically cited elsewhere on the page, so that things were all coherent.

There's plenty enough discussion about trapping on the reddit r/Bushcraft - it can get a bit tricky though as rules/laws/guidelines differ so much from Country to Country, and people don't think to identify their locale.

I've used the paragraph with your addition on r/Bushcraft - so that's as good an "approve" as I can give!
