Welcome![edit]

Hello, BrendaLi0219, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Article issues[edit]

Your additions to the Entertainment technology article include passages copied verbatim a non-free source. This was detected by automatic plagiarism detection software. For copyright reasons, your entire contribution was deleted. Please review the Plagiarism and Copyright training module before proceeding further. Thanks.

Please stop doing this. It isn't enough to change a few words in a sentence from a source - you need to re-write it entirely in your own words. If you keep it up, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Also keep in mind that the use of quotes needs to be kept to a minimum. A few words is ideal. Only use quotes where they are subject to commentary, or in cases where the precise wording of the quote is very important. Anything else is considered excessive.
