Hi, I've done some cleanup to the draft to bring it more in line with Wikipedia house style. It would be great to have an article about this society: it does need more sources though. Thanks for making a start, and please keep at it. MartinPoulter (talk) 16:17, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
- I've just noticed that a paragraph in the above article was taken verbatim from a publication which is copyright Oxford University Press. Copyright violation is taken very seriously on Wikipedia: you must not insert copyrighted text and any such text will be deleted on sight, as I've just deleted the paragraph. A consequence of Wikipedia is Free is that it has to be an original or freely-licensed work. Please reply to show that you've understood this before you make any more edits to Wikipedia.
- When I said above that the article needs more sources, I meant that you need to add more sources before re-nominating it. As it stands, the article will probably get turned down a third time. MartinPoulter (talk) 22:27, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
- I've made some formatting improvements to your draft. The references were not appearing in the foot of the page and I've fixed that. I've also taken teh liberty of removing a paragraph which had unencyclopaedic speculation. On Wikipedia, we have to keep to a descriptive, factual tone. Just to reiterate my request above, can you reply on this page to say you've understood the point about copyright? Thanks in advance, MartinPoulter (talk) 15:43, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi Martin,
I'm really not sure how to use the system to contact you but thanks for your help. As an academic I fully understand the concept of plagiarism, the section in question was handed to me by the Chair of BSRA who has subsequently agreed that he hadn't appropriately paraphrased the quote — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coloneldr (talk • contribs)
- That's fine. Lots of online communities say they respect copyright, but Wikipedia is extremely serious about it: just wanted to make sure that had got across. To send a user a message, click on the "Talk" link next to their name and click "New section" on the resulting page. Cheers, MartinPoulter (talk) 23:18, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
