Recent edit reversion

[edit]

Control copyright icon Your additions in this edit here, have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.)

To see the possible source of the copyrighted text, look in the edit summary which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. There should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. ~~~~ S Philbrick(Talk) 18:37, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to Dracula and Bram Stoker

[edit]

Hello there,

I reverted your edit to the lead of Dracula because the previous version was more concise and said everything that needs to be said. This is a featured article and there is no need to make changes to the lead unless you can show that they are definite improvements. If you think your version is a definite improvement, you are welcome to open a discussion on the article talk page and seek consensus for your change. I have also rewritten the lead of the Bram Stoker article to make it more concise. Yes, Dracula is his most famous work, but there is no need to repeat this in several different ways in the lead. Once again, if you disagree with my edits I am happy to discuss them further on the article Talk page. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 06:41, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
Yes your version looks very good, thank you. More concise now. We can keep the milestone part, so that its similar to the lead of Arthur Conan Doyle article, both authors worked together. The obituary in lead can be deleted too, to make it more concise. SeanBeans1981 (talk) 08:16, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dracula GAN

[edit]

Hi Sean. Hope you're well. I spotted that you nominated Bram Stoker at GAN. You have quite low authorship on the article (~12% of the text), which some reviewers may see as a drive-by nomination. I can see you rewrote the lead, added some material from Dracula, and nominated. I believe the article needs much more work to meet the WP:GA criteria. There are numerous unsourced statements, for example. I think it is very likely to be quickfailed. I would gently suggest withdrawing the nomination and spending more time reading modern scholarship about Stoker, reviewing the existing sources, making sure they reflect what the sources say, making sure unsupported material has citations. It is unfair to a reviewer to nominate and expect them to do that work when they can't be sure you haven't. I hope that makes sense.

When I nominated Dracula for good article, I added around 75 sources (rewriting every word in the process). You can see what it used to look like here. It took months of reading and work! I'd say the quality of Dracula in 2019 is very similar to the quality of Bram Stoker now. As in, it needs a lot of work and isn't nearly ready. – ImaginesTigers 12:44, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Imagines, yes thats true. I have withdraw the GA nomination, and will add citations to Bram Stoker article. To withdraw, only the GAN template has to be deleted from Talk page, yes? SeanBeans1981 (talk) 15:59, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's right! – ImaginesTigers 22:13, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
