Welcome
Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:01, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Copyvio/plagiarism
Hi! I recently received a notification that you had posted content taken from another source, in specific this journal article. A look shows that you took the content word from word and while you did add the journal as a citation, this is still seen as plagiarism and a copyright violation, as it comes across as you putting forth the content as your own work. This may not have been your intent, but you still need to be careful that the work is written in your own words. The only time you can use material word for word is if you are using a brief quote or if the content has been issued under a compatible creative commons license. Just be careful.

I would like you to review the Plagiarism and Copyright training module before proceeding further. Thanks. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:24, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
