[edit]Hello, Maslov123, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

[edit]Your additions to Draft:Séamus Connolly had to be deleted because it was copied verbatim from your source. You can't include copyright content in Wikipedia, even in drafts. You also should never copy from a source and then paraphrase it. You need to write things entirely in your own words. Retaining the overall structure of your source's sentences is still considered plagiarism and a copyright infringement - something called close paraphrasing.

Didn’t realize Drafts could be seen publicly. Ok. Maslov123 (talk) 22:09, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Peter McCann, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 04:31, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- I don't know a more reliable source than the man himself. I interviewed him on December 21, 2022 in a 3-hour video call. How might I cite this? All of the information is correct, and I've verified it independently. Maslov123 (talk) 04:36, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Peter McCann. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Materialscientist (talk) 05:06, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- See WP:NOR. Your interview is just a hint. You said you verified the facts, then cite those published sources, if they are indeed reliable. Materialscientist (talk) 05:07, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

[edit] Hello. Your recent edit to Fairfield Warde High School appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

[edit] Hello, I'm Frost. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Shaun Martin, but you didn't provide a source.

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Frost 18:06, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
