User talk:Dondesta

Welcome!

Hello, Dondesta, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Sigma Lambda Gamma, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page or the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Naraht (talk) 11:07, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Lambda Theta Alpha
I'm glad to see that you have added a lot of information for Lambda Theta Alpha, however it appears that most of the additions that you have made are an exact copy of text from the History and the Quick Facts section of the Lambda Theta Alpha national website ( http://lta.orgsync.com/Quick_Facts & http://lta.orgsync.com/History ). Wikipedia can not take exact text from other websites unless there is formal permission from the organization, otherwise Wikipedia would end up with problems of copyright violations. Please take a look at WP:COPYRIGHT. Much of this information can be added, but it needs to be rephrased so that it is in your own words. Please work with other Wikipedia editors to make sure that it is added in an acceptable way.Naraht (talk) 11:15, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Copyright Violation
Your addition to Lambda Theta Alpha has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
