Hello, Jasonchen149 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Go through our online training for students

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Thegooduser Let's Chat 🍁 01:42, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Jasonchen149, 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.

Copying material[edit]

Hi - I received a notification that you'd used a large chunk of content from an external source. I wanted to give you a head's up as this website's copyright isn't compatible with Wikipedia's. It uses a copyright that allows users to adapt and share the work, but only for non-commercial purposes. This clashes with Wikipedia's license, which does allow people to use it for commercial purposes. Anything that has 'NC' on the license will automatically be incompatible with Wikipedia. I did do a quick search to see if the Basel II content was out there under a compatible license, but it looks like the official website itself doesn't allow its material to be used for commercial purposes, so this will always be an issue. My recommendation here is that you re-write this content in your own words, as there's not going to be a free alternative that you can use. This isn't something that you'd have been aware of to start with, to be honest.

Now one thing I do have to caution you on - this looks like it's going to be for a main page on operational risk. Keep in mind that since there are already pages on many of the types of risk you have on your draft, you don't have to go into too much detail about what these types of risk are. Since the page will be about operational risk, these other elements (including external fraud) should really only be covered as it applies to operational risk. So for example, business risk is the risks that stem from your business decisions while operational risk is the risk that stems from your team trying to carry out said decisions. The two are distinctly separate and can interact with one another, but they're not really the same thing and business risk isn't a part of operational risk, although it can impact it. How you need to be writing about this is something along the lines of "Business risk can impact operational risk, as a company may choose to change how their team carries out a decision based on the new information that would impact its long term success." It's a rough sentence, but it should get the general idea across.

One thing I'd recommend would be, since you're going to be adding to the main article on operational risk, to copy the article to the draftspace or your sandbox so you can see how these additions would fit into the main article and ensure that it has the same writing style.
