Welcome!
Hello, Katiebuckler1, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:32, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Operation Argus. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Plagiarism, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:46, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Article issues
This addition to the Operation Argus was flagged by automatic plagiarism detection software because parts of what you wrote preserved sentence structure and wording from the source, something known as close paraphrasing. (You can see the report here.) Since this is a US government document, it isn't a copyright infringement, but you need to make it clear that you are quoting from the source (or, better yet, rephrase it in your own words). I recommend that you review the Plagiarism and Copyright training module before proceeding further. Thanks. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:25, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
