Marcia Farr moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Marcia Farr, has both formatting and inline citation issues(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.  I dream of horses  If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @ 03:13, 24 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Hello Maltzmd, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Marcia Farr 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • 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 the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • 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 in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 13:09, 26 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Maltzmd: I've moved this back into Draft. It is not suitable for article as it has no sources. Please see WP:REFB for help. Do not move it back into articlespace. scope_creepTalk 00:11, 5 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@CambridgeBayWeather: Can you take a look at this please. scope_creepTalk 00:14, 5 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
scope_creep I've moved it back to draft. There is still no inline citataions. It needs work. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 07:01, 5 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
@CambridgeBayWeather: I guess the editor moved it back to mainspace last night again. I'll put a couple of refs in while it is draft. scope_creepTalk 10:22, 5 April 2019 (UTC) CambridgeBayWeatherReply

Marcia E. Farr moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Marcia E. Farr, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Additionally you must refrain from editing articles about you or those you have a connection with, per WP:COI. Praxidicae (talk) 20:48, 4 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop removing maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Draft:Marcia E. Farr, without resolving the problem that the template refers to. This may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing. stop removing the templates and please read your talk page. You need to stop editing in areas you have a conflict of interest and WP:DISCLOSE Praxidicae (talk) 20:57, 4 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
