Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.

You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure.

Thank you for your feedback. I erred in assuming that since I am the author of the "piano inspires" content, I could use that in this entry. I will rework the article and re-submit it. SPG6611 (talk) 00:51, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SPG6611 Actually, you could use it in the entry if you own the copyright, but you would have to release the work under a free use license, and I'm not sure any one person has sole ownership over that content since there are three authors. Rewriting does seem to be the best solution. Mach61 01:30, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
