Welcome!

Hello, Samanthadies, 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.

Mirrors

Thanks for contributing to the article Rigoberta Menchú ‎. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you.

Thank you for pointing out the error. I looked over all of the citations that I added and the ones that were there previously and I was unable to find any errors or citations that mirror material from Wikipedia. If you could point out the specific citation, I'd be happy to take a look. However, everything seems fine to me. Thank you, Samanthadies (talk) 13:55, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

It's the one I removed for you twice. Once here on 4/25, and here on 4/30. Kuru (talk) 14:14, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

I see, now. Thank you for removing it and I will work to find a better citation. I hadn't realized it was a Wikipedia page - I did not look closely at the URL, nor did the page look similar to a Wikipedia page or open on the website. Samanthadies (talk) 14:25, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Awesome; thank you for your contributions! Kuru (talk) 14:41, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
