CS1 error on Menna Shalabi

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Menna Shalabi, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 22:12, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem 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. This 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.

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 Misplaced Pages 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) 23:35, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello Fragrant Peony,

Thanks a lot for the support Crimsonalfred2022 (talk) 12:51, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Moving articles without discussion

Do not change the names of articles without prior discussion, as you did at Mamluk Sultanate and Ottoman Egypt. If you believe there is a better name for those articles, open a discussion on the talk page and base your proposal on reliable sources, in accordance with Misplaced Pages's core content policies and its naming criteria, which you should review for yourself. For a formal request to change the name, follow the procedures at WP:RM. R Prazeres (talk) 01:22, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Copying within Misplaced Pages

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you copied or moved text from Cinema of Egypt into Film industry. While you are welcome to re-use Misplaced Pages's content, here or elsewhere, Misplaced Pages's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Misplaced Pages, 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 ]; 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. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages. Thank you. R Prazeres (talk) 01:34, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
