Hello Abbysonn!

Nice to meet you, I hope you had a great weekend. See you in class later today! Also, what's your favorite animal?

Hi Kathy! My favorite are elephants! (Abbysonn (talk) 13:48, 2 September 2014 (UTC))

Hi Abby. I also love elephants. Now you know. Kategruenberg (talk) 00:34, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Watch for close paraphrasing

Hey Abbyson. I made some changes to your edit on the cheshire cat. By and large it was pretty good but I'd be careful as you try to summarize a single source on a subject like this as you can run up against close paraphrasing. This is not plagiarism per se and it's clear that you were making a concerted effort to avoid lifting phrases from the cited source, but sometimes it's difficult to do so (especially when summarizing facts) when using a single source. The easiest solution is often to try and find multiple sources and summarize the two, so we're not torn between following a source too closely or making claims that can't be supported by that source. Either way it's not a big problem but I felt you should know why I made the changes I did. Protonk (talk) 18:41, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
