Your submission at Articles for creation: Eragrostis tef (November 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Eragrostis tef instead.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft appears to have been largely copied and pasted from the existing article. This is a violation of Wikipedia's attribution rules and so is a violation of Wikipedia's copyleft. Any content that is in this draft that is not in the article should be added to the article, with proper attribution.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Eragrostis tef and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Eragrostis tef, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Eragrostis tef, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please familiarize yourself with WP:MOS and WP:REFPUNCT. Your numerous errors required considerable editing to re-establish style for the encyclopedia. Also, formatting references can be seen under WP:CIT -- use a template from the dropdown menu above the editing box. Zefr (talk) 17:01, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Eragrostis tef into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:05, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
