Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Edison (talk) 14:34, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

History of television
I removed a large section of text from the article History of television which you had copied from the article Color television. I agree that some discussion of the history of color television would improve the history of television article, but the authors of the text in Color television do not get the credit they deserve for their contributions if you copy their work and paste it into another article without appropriate credit. Also, since you copied the text as it appears in the article Color television rather than copying the HTML language as it appears when you hit "edit," the Wikilinks in the text disappeared, and the inline references appeared as mere numbers rather than adding the actual reference citations. A further complication is that when you copy a reference, you should verify that the reference actually supports the statement in the article. If you copy someone's work, even from Wikipedia or some public domain source, and insert it in a Wikipedia article without attribution, that is contrary to Wikipedia's Copyright violations policy. The way to copy information from one Wikipedia article to another is explained in Copying within Wikipedia. Basically, it requires at least an explanation in the edit summary of what article the text came from, so that the intellectual property rights of the original authors and the terms of use are satisfied. The HTML should be copied (from the "edit" mode) so that all the references and Wikilinks come along. Typically the text also needs to be edited somewhat, since the two articles have different purposes, and a summary form may be more appropriate in the new article.

I encourage you to take another look at the Color television article as well as finding reliable sources on the history of broadcasting, and then drafting your own writeup on the history of color broadcasting, or do the copying as suggested above. Regards, Edison (talk) 14:52, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
