Copyright violation
Multiple Cookbook pages you recently created were deleted because they copied text from sources without permission. Please do not do this, as it is a violation of our copyright policy. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 01:36, 26 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Another page you recently created was found to be in violation. As a result, a short block has been implemented. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:00, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Good day, Grace789 (discuss • contribs) 07:32, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Please what did I do in violation Grace789 (discuss • contribs) 07:35, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Grace789. You created pages where a significant amount of text was identical to another source without permission. This is against our copyright policy, and repeated violations result in blocks. Please let me know if you have questions. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 14:08, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello, Okay thanks I will abide by the rule. Grace789 (discuss • contribs) 09:03, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, I recently created some articles, did I abide by the law. Grace789 (discuss • contribs) 10:23, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Grace789. Your recent contributions have not been flagged as containing copied text. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 13:25, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay, it is like this e.g if I write tomatoes as the first ingredient, it must be in the first procedure because it seem I don't really understand what you meant Grace789 (discuss • contribs) 23:25, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hey Grace, Kittycataclysm means dont copy-paste text from another website, write it in your own words. Also make sure you have the right to add that recepie here. Usually there is a licence or terms of use to check on that website. If its your own website/recepe, state on that page or in the license that the english wikibooks can have that material, or it will get deleted for copyvio. If you are still confused, just ask what you are confused with. 21:04, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Recipe formatting
Hi @Grace789. Please make sure the recipes you contribute conform to Cookbook:Policy and Cookbook:Policy/Recipe template. In your case, this primarily means:
 * Including at the top of each page
 * Listing the ingredients in the order that they appear in the procedure
 * Linking to ingredient pages if they exist

This is particularly important because it takes other people a long time to correct these issues, especially since so many recipes are being contributed right now. Thanks —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 13:33, 16 July 2023 (UTC)


 * @Grace789 answering your question above. By "listing the ingredients in the order that they appear in the procedure", we mean that the first ingredient mentioned in the procedure must be the first in the ingredient list; the second ingredient mentioned in the procedure must be the second in the list; and so forth. Do you understand? —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 22:16, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes I do, thanks. Grace789 (discuss • contribs) 22:29, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * But I am still learning......... Grace789 (discuss • contribs) 22:30, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * @Grace789 The pages you have just created (Cookbook:Liberian Country Beans Torborgee, Cookbook:Liberian Chicken Gravy, Cookbook:African Cabbage Stew) do not conform to the policy and recipe template. Please fix these before adding new recipes. It is time-consuming to correct these, so I ask that you fix them. Thanks —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 23:18, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, but I have fixed it Grace789 (discuss • contribs) 01:39, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
 * How else can I fix it? Grace789 (discuss • contribs) 01:42, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
 * @Grace789 You need to address the list of things I said above, as well as making sure the headings match those in the recipe template I linked above. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 02:23, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The following is a list of recipes you created that need to be fixed. I have already corrected many others of yours, and you need to address the rest. Please fix them before contributing any new recipes:

 * Ok thanks I have done the listing part, pls in few explanatory sentences can you explain how to include recipe at the top of each page and for the linking I know how to do it but some of it is showing me that this page does not exist I don't know if there is another way I can do it. Grace789 (discuss • contribs) 17:28, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Grace789. For the recipe template, just type at the top of the page. For linking, you do not have to link to pages that do not exist. Please also make sure the headings match the recipe template and are spelled correctly (i.e. "Procedure" not "Procedures" and "Notes, tips, and variations" not just "Tips"). Thanks —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:17, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, is there any deficit in all the articles I have created earlier before I start creating new ones. Grace789 (discuss • contribs) 12:36, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
 * @Grace789 Thanks for checking. There are still problems with the recipes I linked above. The headings do not all match the correct headings in the recipe template—please fix those. There are still issues with links, but I will take care of them since there is some confusion with another editor. When you add new recipes, please only link the ingredients in the list and not in the procedure. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 23:49, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Please use more intuitive edit summaries
Using "Added Content" as an edit summary is almost meaningless as none, but it often raises a red flag for some. --SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 13:28, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
