Welcome!

Hello, Orangesod0, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Copyright problem on Eschscholzia californica

The text you added to the above article include passages that were copied directly from your sources. This was detected by automatic plagiarism detection software. For copyright reasons, this contribution had to be deleted. Remember that additions to Wikipedia need to be written entirely in your own words. Please review the Plagiarism and Copyright training module before making additional edits. Thanks. — Ninja Diannaa (Talk) 14:20, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some of your latest additions to that article appear to be copied with only slight modifications from this thesis. Please make sure that what you write is entirely in your own words. Simply changing a few words in a sentence isn't enough - that still constitutes close paraphrasing, and is still considered plagiarism and a copyright infringement.
