Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Rsmithby, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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.

Hello, I'm Waggie. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to User talk:Murreyremi— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

A brownie for you!

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Michael Jordan. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Waggie (talk) 19:06, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
I think you should add more citations to make your page stronger Amccowin (talk) 19:03, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
Ariana be quiet. You don't know what you're talking about.
She acts like she knows it all, but she don't.
In reality, I just need y'all to pray I graduate because it's getting real steep.

Copyright/plagiarism
[edit]Hello, I received a notification that you had posted content that had previously been published elsewhere to your draft article, specifically from this website. This is seen as a copyright issue and plagiarism, even if you were to include the original source as a citation. Always be careful when writing article content - a good way to avoid doing this is to take notes while reading and write your article from those notes. Even if this was in the draftspace, you still need to make sure that you avoid posting content taken from elsewhere.
Unless the material is explicitly marked as falling into the public domain or was released under a compatible Creative Commons license, it should be assumed that the content is copyrighted in a way that would prohibit it from being used verbatim elsewhere. It's always best to write things in your own words, as this can help prevent issues like this from arising. I would like for you to review the module on plagiarism and copyright, thanks. I'll also ping your professor, Umichquiche. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:37, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
- I received another notification that you took content from another source, specifically this link. This is still seen as plagiarism and a copyright violation. I'm aware that there aren't a lot of ways to rephrase some of the content, however since so much of it would be seen as prose (as opposed to a plain list of locations) it would still be seen as an issue in this situation. Please don't post content verbatim. I must warn you that if this continues you run the risk of getting blocked from editing. I'm going to ping your professor as well as some of the librarians for the course: AnitaConchita, Msitar, Spacecaaats, Umichquiche. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:31, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ping, Shalor (Wiki Ed). I'll look into this and follow up with the the others. AnitaConchita (talk) 13:41, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello, Rsmithby. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, Draft:Lillian Hatcher.
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it. — JJMC89 (T·C) 07:16, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
