Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Destiny7awaits, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Nigel Hayes 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 a cited source. 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 without attribution. If you want to copy 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. —Bagumba (talk) 19:49, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Wisconsin Badgers schedule
I guess I'm just curious why you reverted my edit on 2014-15 Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball team, when all I did was add the background to the conference tournament header to make it uniform with literally every other team's page. Skudrafan1 (talk) 20:56, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Template:2014-15 Big Ten Conference men's basketball standings
Hello there. You reverted my edit to 2014–15 Big Ten Conference men's basketball standings with no stated reason. The Week 18 AP Poll, found here, moved Maryland up to #8 and dropped Ohio State from the rankings. So I'm not trying to start an edit war, and I'm assuming WP:GOODFAITH, but I will be reverting the template back to my previous version. Please let me know if you have any further concerns regarding these edits. WantaghNY (talk) 23:48, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Never mind You took care of this. My apologies for bothering you. WantaghNY (talk) 23:54, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
