 * Thanks for your edits! From your edits and user name, you would seem to have a conflict of interest re the De Morgan Foundation, as you are no doubt aware. The factual corrections & expansions you have done are fine, but please take a look at the policy. It would be good to use your user page to make some sort of declaration/disclosure about this.

 * Hello! Very new to Wiki as you can tell! No connection to the De Morgan Foundation (yet, anyway); I recently visited the exhibition at the Watts Gallery and spoke to an informative volunteer. Have since visited the display at Cannon Hall and have fallen in love with the work and came on to Wiki to find out more info and thought I would try and update the pages as well. Sorry for misleading user name! I will read the policies in more detail before I post anything else! Thank you.InterestedParty2017 (talk) 16:42, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello InterestedParty2017, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to De Morgan Foundation have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 03:40, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Indeed - I hadn't done any checks for that. Johnbod (talk) 05:06, 5 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Following the specific and generous explanation of guidelines above, you again added copyright violation content to an article, which I've removed. The next time you do so, I'll ask that this account be blocked. Thank you,

 * Content was added to Cannon Hall page prior to reading the above comments; I will read the policies in more detail before I post anything else. Thank you. InterestedParty2017 (talk) 16:42, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Improving the article
Hello I would like to improve the De Morgan Foundation page - unfortunately I think I have added issues - but am not sure how I can do this. I added citations for better verification, but it says additional citations are still needed. Some specific suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you very much InterestedParty2017 (talk) 16:48, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
