Welcome!
Hello, Katie jenkins, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:13, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Dashboard notification
Hi! I'm the content expert for your course. I received a plagiarism notification from dashboard that said that you had used content that had previously been used elsewhere, in this case a set of factors identified by Akria Yamamoto. Although you did identify them as coming from him, this is technically considered to be a copyright violation on Wikipedia since the content is considered to be copyrighted to Yamamoto. It's one of those things that would be fine to put in an academic paper (and as long as you cite who it was from, which you did, wouldn't be considered plagiarism), but falls afoul of Wikipedia's guidelines.

I've rephrased the factors so they hopefully shouldn't set off any sort of alerts. Just be careful about this in the future. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 07:17, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
