Hello 172.249.194.9, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. JohnInDC (talk) 10:52, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Cwobeel. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Scott Walker because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Scott Walker
Alert: You are flirting with a WP:3RR block.

Just one more revert at Scott Walker (politician) with a 24 hour period could get you blocked. Please read WP:BRD. I've seen this, but I suggest that you discuss this on the article talk page. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 22:22, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Ancestry information may be of bibliographical value, but Ancestry.com is absolutely not a reliable source. This has been discussed many times. If you disagree with the consensus below, feel free to ask again at RSN, but stop edit warring. Additionally, per the notice I will add below, BLPs are subject to discretionary sanctions, and violation of the LBP policies (such as adding poorly referenced information) can result in blocks and bans.
