Welcome![edit]

Hello, Jonathanmwlee, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

  • You can find answers to many student questions in our FAQ.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:55, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem icon Your edit to Patrick Vinton Kirch has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have 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 very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

Article issues[edit]

Your additions to the Patrick Vinton Kirch article include passages copied verbatim from his website. 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.

You also re-added some of that content after it was removed. Please don't do this - not only is it edit warring (which is a problem), it's also edit warring to add copyright infringing content, something the community takes very seriously. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:42, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ian (Wiki Ed): To be fair, the added information was not identified as a copyright violation until after it was re-added. The edit warring is not great, but is a fairly common mistake among new editors. Jonathan is not guilty of re-adding material after he had been warned of the copyright issue.

@WikiDan61 Thanks for the correction. Sorry about that @Jonathanmwlee. I get that edit warring is a common problem, but it's also something that often gets people very frustrated with student editors they're trying to help. That's why we specifically address in our training materials as something you can get blocked for. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:18, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like the first edit was, in fact, copied verbatim from here. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:20, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
