December 2007

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to New England Patriots. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. ~Sasha Callahan _(Talk) 07:10, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Consider this your second warning. You can not add text verbatim from the source such as you did at Diego Sanchez, and will be blocked should you continue doing so. Regards, --aktsu ^(t / c) 12:49, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Norm Van Lier

While I'm glad you wanted to expand the Norm Van Lier article, it seems that too much of your content is closely paraphrased from the sources. Here's an example:

Source: Schanowski remembered Van Lier challenging James Posey to a fight after the then- Miami Heat forward delivered a cheap shot to Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich during the 2006 playoffs.
You text: Van Lier even challenged James Posey to a fight after the then- Miami Heat forward delivered a cheap shot to Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich during the 2006 playoffs.

Please try to put as much as possible into our own words. We don't want to risk a copyright kerfuffle. Zagalejo^^^ 19:30, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're still doing it. For example, at Phil Jackson, I saw the following:

Your text: Once during an exhibition game, he hit a wall-denting line-drive against Satchel Paige.
Source: And during an exhibition game, he also hit a wall-denting line-drive two-bagger against Satchel Paige!

It's not enough to simply replace a word here and there. You need to paraphrase as much as possible. If you have any questions, please let me know. Zagalejo^^^ 18:05, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Abcbalbuena! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 329 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Aaron McGhee - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Noli Locsin - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Patricia Evangelista - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

When using sources

Please don't copy whole phrases from your sources. You need to put as much as possible into your own words. Thanks. Zagalejo^^^ 21:35, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You still need to do a better job paraphrasing. I'm seeing long phrases that are copied verbatim. Zagalejo^^^ 02:32, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problems in The Progress of Medicine in the Philippines

Some of the content you included in the above artice appears to have been copied from here and here. Copying text directly from a source is a copyright violation. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed and some was paraphrased.

Also, in the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain sources such as US Government material: simply add the template {{PD-notice}} after your citation. I have done so for the above article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself.
