Introduction

Hello, Cdelrio123, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Marbe and I just figured all this out in a starbucks and I feel like a champ! It was a rough 30 minutes of constant back and forth clicking, but here I am! Can't wait to edit any articles you post. Feel free to revise mine!

Hello, Cdelrio123, 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.

Plagiarism

edit

Hi, I received a notification that you had posted content to truth value that was previously published elsewhere. This is seen as plagiarism and a copyright issue, even if you include the citation as a source. In this situation the material is specifically copyrighted to the person who wrote it, Stewart Shapiro, and is marked as such at the bottom. The general rule of thumb is to assume that anything you find on the Internet or offline is copyrighted in a way that would prohibit it from being published on Wikipedia unless it's clearly marked as falling within the public domain or has a compatible Creative Commons license. In general you're more likely to find things that you can't post verbatim or closely paraphrased than things that you can, as most authors tend to copyright in a way that protects their intellectual properties.

I would like for you to re-review the module on plagiarism, thanks. I'm also going to ping your professor to the page. Drkarenkpaul Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:45, 5 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
