Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Labrodorite, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Draft:International Ocean Discovery Page has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without 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 a cited source. 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. /wiae /tlk 02:34, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: International Ocean Discovery Page (January 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by RadioFan was:

While it's great to see a National Academies publication used as a reference (very reliable source), it's not so great to see it used inappropriately.

No where in that publication is the claim of "Together, these programs represent the longest running and most successful international Earth science collaboration" backed up.

Did you mean to put that footnote earlier in the sentence? Do you have another reference that the "most successful" claim is backed up? If not please remove it and any other unsubstantiated claims.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:International Ocean Discovery Page and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

International Ocean Discovery Program

Hi Labradorite, inspired by your edit to Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, I created a stub for the new version of the program, unaware of your draft. Feel free to integrate parts of your draft article into my rather hurried creation. Mikenorton (talk) 15:25, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: International Ocean Discovery Page (February 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

Certainly has potential and may be notable but this still needs any further available in-depth third-party sources overall.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:International Ocean Discovery Page and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: International Ocean Discovery Page (February 18)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by LaMona was:

There seems to be some confusion here. Some of the references are about "Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP)" and others are about "International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP)". It can't be both. Also, calling this encyclopedia entry the "Page" means that you may not understand what Wikipedia is about. It is an encyclopedia, not a place for an organization's page.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:International Ocean Discovery Page and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: International Ocean Discovery Program (March 7)

An article about International Ocean Discovery Program was created on 1 February 2016, while your draft at Draft:International Ocean Discovery Program about the same subject was still pending. Since there is now an existing article about this subject, I cannot directly accept this draft. However, feel free to merge this draft (by copy-and-paste) with the existing article. You do not have to resubmit the draft; you may proceed with the merge directly. If you have any questions, please let me know. Best, Mz7 (talk) 20:55, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
