Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site the statement: "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike".

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the Help Desk. You can also leave a message on my talk page.

The article has been almost completely copied (with minor rephrasing) from the HistoryMakers website, which claims copyright to the text with "all rights reserved". In addition, the "ref" tags do not serve for you to copy the original article in its entirety to the Wikipedia page; it serves to identify the source which has been used in the article (see citing sources). Finally, page titles are case-sensitive; the correct title would have been Caroline Hunter. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:21, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The article still appears to be largely copied from the two websites that you use as a reference, and . Plus, comments like "Be sure to revise the final sentence to make it fit with the other revisions I’ve put in before it" do not belong in the article. (If the article is a draft, you can create it in the draft namespace: Draft:Caroline Hunter, or in a user subpage: User:A.toure6/Caroline Hunter, and only move the article to article space when it's complete.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 04:37, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I've deleted the page. The thing is, even though you listed these pages as a source, that doesn't mean that you can lift material from these sources. Listing the places you took the material from doesn't make it any less a copyright violation, nor does closely paraphrasing the material solve the issue. All material must be written in your own words and should not be taken from another website. Basically the problem with taking copyrighted material is that this is essentially theft. By posting it here without their consent you're pretty much stealing their work. Your intentions might be good, but doing this without their permission is still you (and by extension Wikipedia since it's hosting the material) stealing their material. Think of it in terms of schoolwork: if you were a teacher and someone handed in a paper plagiarizing someone else's work, you couldn't accept it, right? While you wouldn't mind them using the material as inspiration for their own work, you want the final product to be written in their own words. The same thing is required here. The final product needs to be in your own words and not taken from somewhere else. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  05:08, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
