Hello, I'm Fountains of Bryn Mawr. I wanted to let you know that one or more of [[Special:Contributions/Jaysonboricua8282232678740

|your recent contributions]] have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hello, Fountains of Bryn Mawr, thanks for the notification. In regards to my Electric Aircraft contribution, I'd like to know why the post is deemed "promotional" as I only entered facts summarized from numerous news articles in regards to this historic achievement. Contrary to your comment, I am not in any way promoting Tier1 Engineering as i have no affiliation with them whatsoever. I believe this is a very notable development in the electric aircraft space and my contributions are certainly not my own opinions or conclusions but they are totally verifiable facts. If i removed every reference to Tier 1 and all the other participants in this project would that be sufficient to allow this historic achievement to be added to the Electric Aircraft page?

Hi, Wikipedia requires secondary sources for anything added, i.e. does some book, magazine, etc see this as significant in the history of Electric aircraft. Citing it to a companies own announcement, the fact that you shoved it to the top of the section, and your history of edits consisting of almost solely of people and images associated with the project makes this look like WP:PROMOTION. It doesn't mean the content is wrong but you should see WP:V and WP:COI. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 17:32, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. I will cite other reliable sources and re-post in the appropriate section. I posted on the top because the page has multiple repetitions which i am detailing before i suggest further edits. Like I mentioned earlier, there is no conflict here. I only joined Wikipedia recently and I am poised to edit other topics to which i can contribute meaningfully. Thanks. [[User:Jaysonboricua8282232678740

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Jaysonboricua8282232678740

, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Airborne Internet has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:17, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
