Draft article on Oxley Park

You are certainly welcome to continue working on your draft but it will be difficult to demonstrate that it is sufficiently WP:NOTABLE to merit a standalone article. I'd hate to see you discouraged if your first attempt gets declined. My advice is that you make it a section of Shenley Church End, the civil parish – in the style of Shenley Brook End#Emerson Valley, for example. What you have already drafted could almost just be cut and pasted in (but don't forget to include a summary of Oxley Woods). When you are happy, we need to add a wp:hat note to Oxley Park, New South Wales to say "Oxley Park redirects here. For other uses, see Oxley Park, Milton Keynes (or maybe see Oxley Park (disambiguation), which seems overkill when there are only two). Again, welcome! --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 11:43, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Not sure how to best respond to this. The aims of my contribution is to complete thorough research and add to the article. Oxley Park is notable due to it containing one of the very rare Meads (Oxley Mead), which makes the area of significant historical importance. There are a lot of important and historical facts around Milton Keynes, which on the surface appears to be simply a new town. I love Wikipedia, I have donated and read it daily. I would now like to contribute effectively.

Your advice about subpages in parishes makes sense, the only issue would be that Milton Keynes Council/Authority makes changes regularly.

Welcome to The Wikipedia Adventure!

Hi JayDutchy280! We're so happy you wanted to play to learn, as a friendly and fun way to get into our community and mission. I think these links might be helpful to you as you get started.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello JayDutchy280, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to White dragon have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Moneytrees🌴^{Talk🌲Help out at CCI!} 20:21, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response and action.

Whose copyright are you saying I have infringed?

Keen to understand how you have drawn this conclusion ?

I think what they are saying is that your edit used too much content from http://www.whitedragonflagofengland.com/ ? I can't be more specific because the edit has been completely removed from the history to avoid Wikipedia being sued by the rights holder but I am sure you know what you used. You can paraphrase (but not close paraphrase) that site [and NB giving it as the citation] and you may quote a sentence or two, making it very clear that it is a quotation and what the source is, mayhe using template:quote. Does that help? You really need to read the articles that Moneytrees suggests. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 22:54, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help John That site appears to go to ceiling fans. I am a little lost as knowing what i wrote it wasn’t infringing on copyright or at least I cannot find anything that appeared in anyway similar. The page is missing vast amounts of information and it needs much improvement. I am keen to resolve this the right way. Not sure how I can check if my wording is coincidentally similar to someone else’s. Is there a tool? JayDutchy280 (talk) 16:11, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
