Rosemary Gladstar
It is important to change the wording when you quote information or the bots will pick it up as plagiarism. You can quote a few paragraphs, but put them within the blockquotes in the symbol part of the page. I went to the article tab at the top of the Rosemary Gladstar/Temp page, then clicked edit this page. It brought me to the Rosemary Gladstar/Temp editing page. I rewrote your stuff, with the changes, then wrote a note on the Rosemary Gladstar discussion page to request replacement of the original page.

I rewrote what you had with slightly different language so the copywrite bots wouldn't pick it up. Feel free to make any changes or additions. Gladstar has been around somewhat longer than 30 years because she hired Chris Hobbs for her school in 1980, so I changed that to 35, which may be less than exact.

When you are just starting a herbalist bio, make sure you cover yourself doing the following:


 * Write { {stub} } or { {herbalist-stub} } at the bottom (I added an extra space between the parentheses so it would print), but go down to the edit symbol box and just click on it.
 * Add references using the symbol in the edit symbol box and make sure you use at least three websites or they will boot you for notability. (They deleted my Michael Tierra article for that, but I figured out who did it and got it back.) The references should be added in the text and at the bottom do a references heading and the < /references> symbol from the edit symbol box. Just listing your references below isn't enough to stop the notability or commercial uses flagz from popping up.
 * If you quote, use the quoted matter lexicon and add the soursc right after. You didn't quote very much, but without the quotation references, the bots compare it to websites and flag it. This should prevent them from deleting your information.

(All my lexicon markings have extra spaces so they will show up in the text.) You can contact me at ksvaughan2@aol.com if you have questions- I had the same problem on my first piece. KSVaughan2 18:37, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
