Wikipedia and copyright
Hello EdYuan, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Victor L. Butterfield 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 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. - MrX 00:44, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Winthrop C. Libby


A tag has been placed on Winthrop C. Libby requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Question about university presidents
Just curious, but where are you finding all the information about Cornellians who served as university presidents? Is this part of a research project? It's great that you're adding so much info to Wikipedia. Cornell2010 (talk) 15:51, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:10, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Discussion on recent edit to List of Nobel laureates affiliated with Cornell University page
The Baker lectureship is a six-week residency where the individual gives a series of lectures. They are not really a member of the Cornell faculty, and, in my opinion, shouldn't really be counted in Cornell's Nobel Prize count. If that was the case, we would also add William Bragg, George Paget Thomson, Linus Pauling, George de Hevesy, Robert S. Mulliken, Gerhard Herzberg, Herbert C. Brown, Rudolph A. Marcus, Ryoji Noyori, Kurt Wuthrich, etc. I think it is misleading to include these individuals as Cornell-affiliate Nobel winners. Cornell2010 (talk) 04:38, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Please stop adding Prabook sources to List of Cornell University alumni. They are not reliable and I am getting fed up of reverting you. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 13:00, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Lily Jan. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Natureium (talk) 15:18, 17 April 2017 (UTC)


 * According to the official website of national academy of sciences, Lily Jan was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1995. Her husband, Yuh Nung Jan was elected in 1996, as shown in the following links

Select Survey Invite
I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Your survey Link: https://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9S3JByWf57fXEkR?Q_DL=56np5HpEZWkMlr7_9S3JByWf57fXEkR_MLRP_7QgwIEB9DDN8NzT&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 12:43, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of University of Alberta people, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Silver ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/List_of_University_of_Alberta_people check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/List_of_University_of_Alberta_people?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
