Welcome!
Hello, Eddie943586, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:09, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Edits to Basketball in China
I made a number of rather extensive edits to the article you've been working on Basketball in China. Much of these should pretty uncontroversial. I simply cleaned up the wording and language in ways that I think are unambiguous improvements. I noticed that most of the text was simply cut-and-pasted from other parts of Wikipedia. Although this is not an issue of a WP:COPYVIO since Wikipedia content is licensed compatibley, I think it's typically considered better to link to content elsewhere rather than just copying. I've turned your sections into links to the articles that you brought the text over from.

I'm happy to talk more about this. — m a k o ๛  06:41, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

It's okay to copy from other Wikipedia articles, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. There's more information at WP:Copying within Wikipedia. — Diannaa (talk) 17:06, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
