Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Jenny Pimenta, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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.

Copyright/plagiarism
[edit]Hello, I received a notification that you had copied material verbatim from a published source into the article first-year composition. This is seen as a copyright issue and plagiarism, even if you were to have included the original source as a citation. Always be careful when writing article content - a good way to avoid doing this is to take notes while reading and write your article from those notes.
Unless the material is explicitly marked as falling into the public domain or was released under a compatible Creative Commons license, it should be assumed that the content is copyrighted in a way that would prohibit it from being used verbatim elsewhere. It's always best to write things in your own words, as this can help prevent issues like this from arising. I would like for you to review the module on plagiarism and copyright, thanks.

- I also saw that you had copyrighted content in your sandbox - this is still seen as a copyright issue even if it's in your sandbox. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:32, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
