Hello classmate!Jillgeib (talk) 14:52, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I like that you have the links to a lot of the dating websites, and also that you covered a wide range of issues within the "Personal" section. Also in the first sentence change 'fist' to 'first' but otherwise I think it's really good so far Jillgeib (talk) 13:36, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello, and welcome. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • 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 a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Wikipedia: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 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.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 if 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 without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in 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 visit me at my talk page. Thank you. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See this source and these edits. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SandyGeorgia, This is my first wiki article and I thought I had cited everything properly but I went through and rewrote sentences and fixed some citations. I don't know what information you consider to be "original" research. All of my research was found in scholarly journals, books, and other creditable sources. Thank you for editing and looking over my article. If you have any more feedback, please feel free to leave it here, as I will be checking my talkpage constantly fron now until the end of the semester. Thanks!
