Hello, I'm Sundayclose. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Morris Brown College, 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. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 00:50, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Morris Brown College, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 18:16, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

The information in cited Lisa76123 (talk) 20:57, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * You're right; I should have given you a warning for copyright violation instead. Specifically, the paragraph beginning with "In the early 1930s, Morris Brown College was in financial trouble ..." is copied word for word from the source. Copyright violation is even more serious than making unsourced edits because of serious legal implications for Wikipedia. Please read WP:COPYRIGHT before restoring.
 * 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. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices.
