Hello, I'm Geraldo Perez. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Gossip from unreliable sources shouldn't be in articles Geraldo Perez (talk) 13:58, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm ATinySliver. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Emma Watson, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. &mdash; ATinySliver &#47; ATalkPage 02:16, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Kaylee Dolphin xx, and welcome to Wikipedia. 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 a cited source. 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.  Acroterion   (talk)   02:37, 16 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I have deleted your recent uploads, which violate non-free image use policy. You must at a minimum clearly attribute the source and author, and there must be no alternative free image possible, which rules out non-free images of living persons. Please stop uploading non-free images. While it is possible to illustrate characters, the fair-use rationale must be clearly discussed and the source and attribution made plain, and in detail.

A welcome and a note
Hi, ! We're glad you're here at Wikipedia and we hope you'll stick around!

It can be frustrating at times for a newer editor to make what appear to be constructive edits in attempt to improve the encyclopedia, only to have those edits reverted. Because this collaborative project is an encyclopedia, the data it contains will be held to a higher standard than, say, a fan web site.

Here's a few policies and guidelines that will help you along the way:
 * Wikipedia's five pillars
 * What Wikipedia is, and is not
 * Who and what is considered notable
 * What is and is not a reliable source

Meantime, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. &mdash; ATinySliver &#47; ATalkPage 21:59, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
