Please provide attribution when copying within Misplaced Pages

Hi Loew; thanks for your comments at my Talk page regarding Stereotypes of Jews. What you say makes sense, and removing the unsourced material at Jewish nose looks like a good move, so thanks for that.

One thing you mentioned needs to be discussed, though, which is providing attribution when copying within Misplaced Pages. In your comments on my page, where you said, "I merely copied a piece from ". Presumably, you are talking about this edit, of 9:56, 19 November 2021. It's perfectly okay to copy material from one Misplaced Pages article to another, so that edit where you copied from the other article is just fine.

However, there is one requirement that goes along with it: whenever you copy (or translate) material from another Misplaced Pages article, you must provide attribution in the edit summary of the edit where you add the material. This is based on Misplaced Pages's licensing requirements, and is explained at WP:Copying within Misplaced Pages.

You already reverted that edit, so I don't think it matters in this case, but going forward, when you copy material from another article, please be sure to attribute it in the edit summary. You can use this model, and paste it into the edit summary next time:

Copied content from ]; see that page's history for attribution.
