Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Aseivert, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Arizona State Sun Devils have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 cite the source using an inline citation. 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 or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate 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. — Diannaa (talk) 01:16, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

ASU season articles
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. I see that you have an interest in Arizona State football and welcome your efforts to improve the program's season articles. However, your changes would be far more useful if you followed a few simple guidelines applicable here at Wikipedia. I have taken the time to edit 1966 Arizona State Sun Devils football team to give you an idea on how the content might be presented more effectively. A few general rules: If you have further questions, feel free to ask them here or on my talk page. Cbl62 (talk) 11:52, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
 * In the narrative portion of Wikipedia articles, we do not use abbreviations such as LG, LB, TD, or Yds. These words should be spelled out.
 * You have been deleting existing in-line citations that were previously found in the articles. These citations should not be deleted.
 * You are not including in-line citations for the new content you are adding. If you are using the media guide as your source, you need to include page numbers for each fact you are adding to the article.  The first citation should include the full citation (see 1966 article).  After the first citation, you can use shorthand like "2007 Media Guide, p. 63."
 * Further subheading will help make the articles more accessible. I have added those to the 1966 team article.
 * In your recent edits to the 1967 Arizona State Sun Devils football team, you are still using improper abbreviations, failing to include citations, and generally disregarding the suggestions made with respect to the 1966 team article. You are also infringing on copyrighted material in the 2007 ASU Media Guide by copying large portions verbatim. These edits are creating lots of extra work in cleaning up your mess.  Please pause and take heed of the suggestions above and in the revision of 1966 Arizona State Sun Devils football team. Cbl62 (talk) 00:06, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Do you work for Wikipedia or are you just another user like myself? I've previously worked for ASU's Media Relations department. I'm an ASU alumni. My father & grandfather both played football for Arizona State. I've been adding content which was never presented on Wikipedia. I've cited the media guide as a reference and can add the page number if needed. If you feel the content could be organized in a different way, that's fine. However, I'm not copying large amounts of copyrighted material as you stated. As far as removing previous citations, they linked to sources where the information such as game dates and game scores was incorrect. I deleted them and made sure the correct information was presented.
 * No, I do not work for Wikipedia, but I have been creating and editing college football articles on Wikipedia for about 10 years. Some of my suggestions are based on well-established practices for team-season articles, others are based on basic grammar. For example, you are now going through past articles and putting season records, as they appear in narrative sentences, into parentheses -- this is completely wrong. I believe that you are trying to improve Wikipedia, and I do appreciate that.  I am simply trying to give you suggestions, as a relatively user, to aid you and others in making Wikipedia its best and to minimize clean-up work on what you have been doing. No offense is intended. As for page numbers, yes, when you are citing a lengthy source such as the media guide, you need to include page references. Cbl62 (talk) 21:17, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Good to know! I would greatly appreciate if you could not further alter the content I've provided within each of the Arizona State Football seasons. I'm in the process of copying the stats and information into my own personal files. I've spent hours creating and adding information which was not previously listed. I don't want my work to be lost, especially the years where my father and grandfather played. Please allow me time to retrieve the information as it stands. Thanks for your time and suggestions!
 * Thank you for responding. May I assume you will now heed my concerns? This means, for example, not using abbreviations in narrative text, not putting season records or lists of players in parentheses within narrative text, using in-line citations, and page references to the media guide? If so, there will be no need for me to continue cleaning up your work.  Thanks. Cbl62 (talk) 22:01, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

I will take your suggestions into account and won't alter anything that currently stands. My grandfather is very ill and it's my goal to print out all of these Arizona State Football stats and give them to him before he passes away. It will mean so much to him!
 * Nice gesture. If you tell me what years he played, I'd be happy to link to a pdf for each game summary as reported in The Arizona Republic.  You could then print those for him as well.  Cbl62 (talk) 22:27, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I also have now built out the 1933 Arizona State Bulldogs football team article to provide a further example of better citation format for the early years. Cbl62 (talk) 12:25, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Arizona State women's lacrosse moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Arizona State women's lacrosse, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

You added info that said Tim McCormack was the head coach. There is a Wikipedia article that said Tim McCormack is a politician from Euclid, Ohio. If I'm wrong about this undo, I'm sorry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justiyaya (talk • contribs) 05:29, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Tim McCormack was named the ASU women's lacrosse Head Coach beginning with the 2020 season. Here is his bio on the ASU Athletics website: https://thesundevils.com/sports/womens-lacrosse/roster/coaches/tim-mccormack/4486
