The riot at Kingston Penitentiary in 1954 has been added
You might be pleased to know that your efforts to add an event to the Kingston Pen. history have paid off. Your initial addition, unsourced at the time, was removed by me at first, pending further investigation. I was able to track down a couple of articles in the archives of old newspapers from that time, and corrected the information to read that the event happened in Aug. of 1954 (not 1953). The correct version of the event is now in the lede section of the article for the Kingston Penitentiary. You might also want to look at the Talk Page for this article. --Skol fir (talk) 01:58, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to The Roving Kind (song), however, due to there being no references to the information you had added, I reverted your edit. You may re-add your information if you site where the information came from or otherwise people might take it as being an opinion. Thank you. Housewatcher (talk) 02:57, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Ctomarctus, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Pepper (film) has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without 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. Opencooper (talk) 02:22, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
