Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 2001 anthrax attacks into First Responder Anthrax Preparedness Act. 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. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:43, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa: I had no idea about this rule - I appreciate you teaching me. I'm curious, is there a tool you use to find out when people do stuff like this? Pretty cool. Again, thank you for working with me. Cheers! --Paultimothyjones714 (talk) 00:45, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

June 2018

Your addition to Emergent BioSolutions and ACAM2000 have been removed, as it appears you added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 01:07, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies - it wasn't intentional. But I'll be more careful next time I make an edit. Thank you! --Paultimothyjones714 (talk) 18:38, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

References

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN.

While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite" click on it
Then click on "templates",
Choose the most appropriate template and fill in the details beside a magnifying glass followed by clicking said button,

We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:03, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

These are great resources! Thank you! --Paultimothyjones714 (talk) 15:24, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest in Wikipedia

Hi Paultimothyjones714. Your edits to Emergent BioSolutions have been very obvious commercial/PR editing.

I'm giving you notice of our conflict of interest guideline:

Hello, Paultimothyjones714. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

Would you please disclose any connection you have with the company? Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 16:00, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Would you please reply here? It may be that you have some relationship with the company or own stock in it, or you may just be new and unclear about what we do here, but either way, your editing is promotional. Please do reply. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 16:55, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm interested in bioterrorism. I lived a mile from the Pentagon on 9/11. I remember the anthrax scare. Two of my friends worked in the Hart Senate Building when they had to close down the entire building because of white powder found in a letter to a Senator. So yeah, I have a connection: an emotional connection. I find the company fascinating (they came up with the anthrax vaccine). They have saved our population from any possible future attacks by making that vaccine. And I disagree that my edits are promotional.

Which edits are promotional? For example, I updated the key people in the Infobox. How is that promotional? Please describe. Another example: I added text that describes how the company is divided into four business units. How is that promotional? Please describe. Another example: I added text, citing the 2017 Annual Report, about how the company was legally incorporated and then reorganized. How is that promotional? Please describe.

I've written everything in a neutral matter-of-fact tone with reliable sources, using no marketing-ish type of language. If you have any other questions, feel free to post them. If I don't reply right away it's because I'm offline. I have a full-time job so I'm not always on here editing Wikipedia. Thanks. --Paultimothyjones714 (talk) 20:11, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Promoting Resilience and Efficiency in Preparing for Attacks and Responding to Emergencies Act of 2017

The article Promoting Resilience and Efficiency in Preparing for Attacks and Responding to Emergencies Act of 2017 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable proposed (and failed) legislation. Probable self/paid promo, possible copyvio. all sources provided are routine coverage, or unrelated to main topic.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
