Article feedback
Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Cindy. I just wanted to touch bases and offer some feedback on the articles you've been creating. Thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, there is a Manual of Style for articles, that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. One of the particular issues that I want to mention pertains to the use of html. Much of the encyclopedia actually works by using Wiki markup, rather than html. For example, the html you are adding at the top of articles is not necessary. I've also noticed that you are adding commentary to articles and/or citations, while also paraphrasing too closely to the sourced material, which is considered a copyright violation. There are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues. 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. Before creating more articles, please take some time to review the welcome page and Manual of Style, particularly the specific guidelines for writing biographies, along with the policy regarding verifiability. I mention verifiability, in response to several sources offered which do not provide enough specific information to verify the content. Essentially, we need enough information in order for readers to be able to locate and access the sources in order to verify the article. In all regards, your work is appreciated. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. Best regards, Cindy  ( talk ) 21:50, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) 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 a cited source. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * 2) 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. 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.
 * 3) Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * 4) 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 percent 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.
 * 5) Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

Thanks, Piotrus, I could not find a suitable hook for this article, at least not yet. Billy Hathorn (talk) 02:10, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
