Copying

Hi Knoah: Seeing your query on Drmies' talk page, I've looked at your sandbox and I do see a copyright problem. To do your rewrites, you've been copying in the code for the existing Wikipedia pages. For example, from Zoo Interchange, with this edit. You don't provide an edit summary for that or, it seems, any other edits there. But attribution is required when copying within Wikipedia—i.e., you need to give credit to the original writers of the page by saying you are copying, and from where. See this page. The easiest method is to say in the edit summary something like: "Copying [[Zoo Interchange]] for expansion". Not to have a statement of any kind is a copyright violation, even though it was copied from Wikipedia itself. Needless to say it's also a copyright violation if you copy wording from anywhere else that isn't explicitly stated to be copyright-free, even if you later change the wording, but I suspect you didn't realize the rule extended to Wikipedia articles.

DYK for Zoo Interchange

On 24 February 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Zoo Interchange, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 2014, the Zoo Interchange in Milwaukee became the first place that orange pavement markings were tested in the United States? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Zoo Interchange. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Zoo Interchange), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
