Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School, as "minor" only if they are minor edits.

Hello HeidiGough, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School 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 cite the source using an inline citation. 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. Meters (talk) 17:40, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello, HeidiGough. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
 * instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Meters (talk) 18:19, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Based on your edit summary here you appear to have a conflict of interest. Meters (talk) 18:20, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
 * And since Heidi Gough is the Director of Communications for the school it appears that you are indeed an employee with a conflict of interest. It doesn't mean that you can't improve the article, just that you should follow the rules for editors with conflicts of interest. Please formally acknowledge your conflict of interest, and propose any major changes  on the article's talk page for discussion rather than making them yourself. If you are not the Heidi Gough who works for the school you should either change your username or state that you are not the same person to avoid the suspicion of WP:IMPERSONATE. Meters (talk) 18:31, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for doing that. I'll keep an eye on that article's talk page for any changes you wish to propose. Meters (talk) 18:44, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
