Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Computer security, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
 * Copying text from other sources
 * Policy on copyright
 * Frequently asked questions on Wikipedia's copyright policy
 * Policy and guideline on non-free content

If you still have questions, there is the teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Authority control. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. ''The site you referenced, corvincreative.com, does not appear to be legitimate. In fact, the page you linked appears to be a "search engine magnet", full of worthless links and purloined text (including some from Wikipedia).'' &mdash; UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 00:33, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello and thank you for raising this with me. I am sorry about this, I misjudged the credibility of that source but I realise upon looking at it again the parent domain is irrelevant. I will stick to sources that are encyclopedic and from reputable news and organisational sources. I am re-reading the external links and spam guidelines and will become more familiar with them. Thanks again. KimberlyTrix (talk) 11:58, 10 December 2020 (UTC)KimberlyTrix

Please don't copy material you find elsewhere online
Hello. I am Diannaa and I am a Wikipedia administrator. Prose you find online is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the copyright policy of this website to do so. All prose must be written in your own words. I have had to remove pretty much all of your additions. The Wikipedia copyright policy and its application are complex matters, and you should not edit any more until you have taken the time to read and understand our copyright policy. There's a simplified version of our copyright rules at FAQ/Copyright. Further copyright issues will result in you being blocked from editing. — Diannaa (talk) 15:02, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, thank you for clarifying this about the copyright standard. I will be more careful and thoughtful about the contributions I make. Apologies for creating any extra work for you on revising my additions in articles. I will make sure I only contribute original work from now on and in my own words. I have taken the time to read the copyrights page and I will learn more. Thanks KimberlyTrix (talk) 11:46, 10 December 2020 (UTC)KimberlyTrix
