Copying content between articles

Hi Vanisherman. When you copy content between articles you need to include the original articles name in your edit summary,Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipediagives details of why this must be done.

Your copying has also been causing some errors with references. Can I suggest turning on the errors for short form refs, as described hereCategory:Harv and Sfn template errors,and checking the reference section for error messages after you copy content.

If you have any questions about how to turn the error messages on, or what specific error messages mean please just ask.-- LCUActivelyDisinterested∆transmissions∆°co-ords°12:36, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
