Hi there,

Unfortunately I had to undo your contributions to Essie Pinola Parrish; the text appeared to be taken directly from this press release. I share your interest in the topic and I hope we can collaborate to write new material about Parrish.babbage (talk) 06:12, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi again. Thanks for your question. The problem isn't that you didn't cite the source, it's that the text of your contribution was taken directly from the press release. I agree that Parrish is a figure of great interest (I started the article) and she is certainly worthy of original writing here. I've located some more reliable sources (generally press releases aren't optimal) and I will be adding to the article soon.

Please understand that I'm not in anyway discouraging you from contributing to this article or any other, by all means feel free. But while you may refer to other sources such as that press release, you have to use your own words (otherwise you make yourself vulnerable to accusations of plagiarism). best, babbage (talk) 19:38, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
