Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. ~Sasha Callahan (Talk) 07:10, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Consider this your second warning. You can not add text verbatim from the source such as you did at Diego Sanchez, and will be blocked should you continue doing so. Regards, -- aktsu (t / c) 12:49, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Norm Van Lier
While I'm glad you wanted to expand the Norm Van Lier article, it seems that too much of your content is closely paraphrased from the sources. Here's an example:
 * Source: Schanowski remembered Van Lier challenging James Posey to a fight after the then- Miami Heat forward delivered a cheap shot to Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich during the 2006 playoffs.
 * You text: Van Lier even challenged James Posey to a fight after the then- Miami Heat forward delivered a cheap shot to Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich during the 2006 playoffs.

Please try to put as much as possible into our own words. We don't want to risk a copyright kerfuffle. Zagalejo^^^ 19:30, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

You're still doing it. For example, at Phil Jackson, I saw the following:
 * Your text: Once during an exhibition game, he hit a wall-denting line-drive against Satchel Paige.
 * Source: And during an exhibition game, he also hit a wall-denting line-drive two-bagger against Satchel Paige!

It's not enough to simply replace a word here and there. You need to paraphrase as much as possible. If you have any questions, please let me know. Zagalejo^^^ 18:05, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Abcbalbuena! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 20:44, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Aaron McGhee -
 * 2) Noli Locsin -
 * 3) Patricia Evangelista -

When using sources
Please don't copy whole phrases from your sources. You need to put as much as possible into your own words. Thanks. Zagal e jo^^^ 21:35, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * You still need to do a better job paraphrasing. I'm seeing long phrases that are copied verbatim. Zagal e jo^^^ 02:32, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Copyright problems in The Progress of Medicine in the Philippines
Some of the content you included in the above artice appears to have been copied from here and here. Copying text directly from a source is a copyright violation. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed and some was paraphrased.Also, in the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain sources such as US Government material: simply add the template after your citation. I have done so for the above article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself.

Disambiguation link notification for April 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Wilhelm von Homburg, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages New York and Hans Gruber ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Wilhelm_von_Homburg check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Wilhelm_von_Homburg?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
