"Copyvio"?[edit]

I don't think it is a copyvio. Rather, it is simply a citation from the references listed in the article. --Evecurid (talk) 17:07, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, no, Evecurid, you can't just copy what other people say; everything you write here must (with a few rare exceptions) be entirely in your own words. You are welcome to rewrite the content that has been removed, but the words you use must be your own – exactly as in the academic world.

Copyright problem removed[edit]

Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from: http://hist.uic.edu/history/people/faculty/laura-hostetler and http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/Q/bo3631488.html. Copied or closely paraphrased material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and according to fair use may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly. The material may also be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Therefore such paraphrased portions must provide their source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:58, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
