Avoiding copyright problems

Hello, and welcome. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• 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 a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Wikipedia: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 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.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 if 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 without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in 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 visit me at my talk page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 (talk) 00:28, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

To add a personalized note: I realize that the article was not directly copy-pasted in its entirety, but that is not sufficient to avoid copyright problems. See WP:Close paraphrasing for more guidance. Calliopejen1 (talk) 00:28, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 28

Hi. When you recently edited PEN/Joyce Osterweil Award for Poetry, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dana Levin (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 14:23, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

I didn't realize that there were two Dana Levin's. I have corrected the mistake and now the internal link is correct. It now goes to Dana Levin (poet). Thanks for pointing out the issue.

Article deletions

I saw all those deletion attempts above, so went through and added third-party sources. Any article can be deleted if it does not have third party sources so it's a small but important part of the process. Thanks for creating the PEN award articles, they are much needed. If you need help with anything let me know as I do a lot of work on literary award articles. Green Cardamom (talk) 04:52, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
