Talk:Amanda Cooper-Sarkar

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (The data input is factual and has not been lifted from other source it would be helpful to see what sources the wiki editor has found that infringe on copyright. I went in today and added additional citations to prove all statements made) --KLA2010 (talk) 19:33, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * the version you wrote included a direct quote from the source that was not marked as being a quote. That is plagiarism and you can be banned from Wikipedia if you do not learn not to do it. As you saw, it can also lead to the deletion of any content you might create in this way. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:14, 15 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm really new to this and just trying to understand better. Could you let me know what item is considered as plagiarism and if the changes I made last night fixed it?
 * No, you didn't fix it. You appear to have copied and pasted the entire sentence "In 2015, Professor Cooper-Sarkar was awarded the James Chadwick Medal and Prize for her study of deep inelastic scattering of leptons on nuclei which has revealed the internal structure of the proton." from https://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/confs/cuwip2018/panels.html. All Wikipedia contributions must be in your own words, not copied from elsewhere. As it turns out, most of that sentence was originally from the official prize citation, and could be marked as a quote from it (by using quotation marks " " and a footnote to where the quote is from) but otherwise it would probably have had to be deleted entirely. DO NOT COPY TEXT FROM OTHER WEB SITES. Until you understand this you should not be contributing to Wikipedia. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:45, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Unused sources
I'm not using the following in the article because I think it would be WP:UNDUE, but I'll leave them here as they might be usable if the article develops enough weight in its academic content to support such matters:
 * As dean of St Hilda's in 2006, Cooper-Sarkar was responsible for stricter enforcement of dress codes at college breakfasts.
 * Cooper-Sarkar is married to Oxford physicist Subir Sarkar. When Sarkar was given the Niels Bohr Professorship by the Danish National Research Foundation in 2012, Cooper-Sarkar was also given a position at the Discovery Center of the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen.
