  Hello, I'm SunDawn. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Christine White (actress), but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 16:34, 8 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

I added a source in the text.
How do I add the source to references. 1IceCloudStation (talk) 16:43, 8 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Hello 1IceCloudStation! Your additions to Design Automation Conference have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:49, 13 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

I understand what you are saying and will make note in the future.
Can someone else add the award for a woman's success in high-tech engineering?
The award was created by co-founder of the conference, who was also a woman.
It seems like something that could help and inspire others if it is placed back properly.

I added just the name of the award with just its Wikipedia link. I wrote the name of the award letter-by-letter instead of copying and pasting the name of the award. I am confused why it was deleted. 1IceCloudStation (talk) 01:19, 14 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Please do not add the award into the DAC article. It has a separate article and is listed in "See also" section, a single mouse click away. Wikipedia is not a paper book, not everything must be in the same article. Well-defined subtopics are written up in separate articles. - Altenmann >talk 01:57, 14 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
I understand what you are saying, and I will not add it.

I just hope the following can be considered:

-The award seems to help the article.
-The award was created by the co-founder of the conference, Marie R. Pistilli.
