Hello ChessEvan4, and welcome to Wikipedia. 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. Schazjmd (talk) 22:42, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I need help. Another person says my edits here on sharpie (marker) are vandalism. However, all i was trying to do was to add a chart of the colors, so why is;t this ok. I even did it on the crayola article and everything was fine. Please help! ChessEvan4 (talk) 03:39, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page

I think you should make a user page introducing yourself to the Wikipedia community. This comes from a fellow newcomer. Happy editing! JTZegers (talk) 13:20, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

January 2021

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Sharpie (marker). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please do not re-insert this trivial and unverified material. Drmies (talk) 03:20, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Sharpie (marker). Drmies (talk) 03:22, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What I am doing is NOT vandalism. People need a list of sharpie colors. Since my talent is not appreciated here, I will delete my account :(ChessEvan4 (talk) 03:25, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why DannyS712 on Simple thought my edits of the same kind were good (and they are!) but you just want to demoralize me ??? I don't understand how my edits were vandalism. You need to explain HOW what I'm doing is vandalism. My intent was to make the article more useful dn complete for a sharpie collector like myself.

I don't know why another editor said something on another project: I am not a clairvoyant. What I am telling you is that this content is not of encyclopedic value. The fact that it lacked secondary sources is indicative of that: NO ONE is going to publish, in a newspaper, magazine, or monograph what the Sharpie colors are. (And no one has.) KylieTastic commented on your draft that they also didn't see why your topic would be notable, and that your source was not a reliable secondary source. This is simply not a notable topic, and not a topic worth spending Wikipedia time on. I don't want to "demoralize" you, but I do want you to think about what Wikipedia is. Thank you.

Your submission at Articles for creation: List of Sharpie colors (January 24)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KylieTastic was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Not clear why this would be notable also blogs are not reliable sources

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:List of Sharpie colors and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:List of Sharpie colors, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
