You may not be aware but Wikipedia takes a firm position in relation to possible copyright violation.

Some of the material in your article Susan Kolb, M.D. appears as if it may derive from [1].

Please read WP:COPY carefully and either provide an appropriate copyright licence or rewrite the material. If you have an questions please just ask on my talk page. FrankFlanagan (talk) 21:45, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Copyright Permissions

Marcald,

Given that you are a new used, I did not actually place the copypaste tag on your article. Another user did that after I left you a message suggesting that you resolve the issue.

If you want to check who has made edits to your article just click on the history tab on the top of your article.

Equally, if you want to ensure your article stays in place while you resolve matters you should leave a message on the talk page of the article, acknowkedging the issue and saying what you propose to do.

As you say you have permission to use the copyright material, you need to get evidence of this licence to Wikipedia, please see Using Copyrighted work from others essentially, you will need an email from someone associated with the owner of the copyright.

The alternative is to rewrite the section so that it does not rely on the copyrighted work.

Feel free to contact me if I can be of any further help. FrankFlanagan (talk) 18:05, 9 October 2011 (UTC) 18:07, 9 October 2011 (UTC) 18:08, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Your queries

Marcald,

taking the easy question first references are fairly easy. For starters at the point where you want to insert the reference put in <Ref>Your text here</Ref>. Then at the end of the article proper put in a level two heading

==References== and on a new line insert {{reflist}}.

If you want to be more precise you should look at using the full citation templates {{cite book}} {{cite news}} etc. The book citation template in particular allows you to insert the isbn, which allows readers to find the relevant book with ease.

As regards hiding work in progress, while it is not quite hidden the best thing is possibly to move the entire page to a user page and work on it there. I believe you would need to ask an administrator to move an article from main space to user space, but you could copy the page to user space, delete any problematic sections from the main space articles and copy them back from the user space page when finished. Please do not copy the entire page to user space and then copy it back to main space using cut and paste. Wikipedia does not like cut and paste moves of articles as it loses the edit history.

Alternatively, if you think you will get everything sorted out today just keep going for now. If an administrator does delete the article because of copyright concerns, the administrator who deleteded it will normally move the article to user space on request.

Susan Kolb article

I am a new user and am still trying to find my way around Wikipedia. I have edited the article several times to bring it up to Wikipedia standards. I'm currently working to put the citations into the proper format and plan to have that accomplished before the end of the day.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Susan Kolb. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.
