Copied material on Thodoros Maragos
Please don't copy material from other websites onto Wikipedia. AllyD (talk) 11:03, 3 March 2013 (UTC) helpme Hi! I don't know if it is the right way to do it. I do not copy from other sites. The text i used is from an openoffice document that the Director(the article is about him) gave me. Also i try to create an another article and i'm experiencing problems. I'm new to this.
 * There are a couple of factors here. Firstly the Wikipedia licencing model requires the editor to be the author of the words that he/she contributes. So the words cannot be someone else's - and especially not the subject of the article, as that creates conflict of interest issues. As it stands with the Thodoros Maragos article, I have removed all such words so the article is ok regarding these issues, though rather sparse. I have not managed to find much on this person's career achievements, though I appreciate that could be because of Englsih/Greek alphabet issues. It definitely needs more to establish his notability, though please not words taken from the subject or from elsewhere. AllyD (talk) 13:04, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, you can't copy from anything, regardless of print, web, newspaper, anything. You must use your own words on Wikipedia. gwickwire  talk editing 17:50, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
