Reliable sourcing

Hi, I've come across major sourcing problems from one of your students, who is using Wikipedia mirrors to cite articles to support themselves. Have you taught them about reliable sources? I suggest they edit in sandboxes until they've grasped the basics under supervision. Fences&Windows 00:54, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for noticing this. I have addressed this with the class and reviewed reliable sources. I will look into this more and make sure that students link to Wikipedia pages when appropriate and do not cite them.Jskalski (talk) 17:39, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:I love Paris in the the springtime.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:I love Paris in the the springtime.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file licensed as "for non-commercial use only", "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only", or "used with permission"; and it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
add the relevant copyright tag and if necessary, a complete fair use rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Copyright violations/plagiarism by a student

Hello, I have removed the contributions of User:Eeettt2001 to Affect heuristic and Confidence as they included text directly copy-and-pasted from academic articles, without quotation marks. Additionally, the content was often put in places that worsened the overall quality of the article. While these contributions often included references to the copied text, directly copy-and-pasting content onto Wikipedia without quotation marks is unacceptable. See Wikipedia:Plagiarism for further information. Thanks, Wracking ^talk! 23:47, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
