Welcome!

Hello, Sepetras, 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.

Possible Plagiarism detected on Wikipedia

Hi Sepetras, I received a notification that your [on the English-only page] are the same as a published source. Can you re-work the highlighted sections in your own words? It looks like maybe the edits were accidentally added to the existing Wikipedia page rather than your sandbox (which can happen, for sure, especially when you're working on edits to an existing article).

Happy to help you make the correction if you need it, just let me know! --Pthomas4 (talk) 03:46, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely can do that! Also, I have been working on/transferring information to the main page all last week so that was not accidental, therefore, I apologize for being eager in that sense.

Thanks for the notification update! Sepetras (talk) 21:51, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article issues

Your additions to the English-only movement article include passages copied verbatim from a non-free source. This was detected by automatic plagiarism detection software. For copyright reasons, your entire contribution was deleted. Please review the Plagiarism and Copyright training module before proceeding further. Thanks.

Hi Sepetras. You need to make sure that you are writing entirely in your own words. Just changing a few words does not fix the problem - it's still close paraphrasing. Please read Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. I recommend that you close the source you're using before writing to avoid using their phrasing or sentence structure. Continued copyright infringements like this will get you banned from editing Wikipedia. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:48, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
