Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Musicman713, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to NYU WIRELESS have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 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. (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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:59, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest
as you have been writing only about NYU Wireless and its director, Theodore Rappaport, it is reasonable to ask if you have a conflict of interest, as we define it at WP:COI. (This is especially relevant because some of the material you have added contains details and style that would normally be considered promotional, not encyclopedic, such as the inclusion of relatively minor awards to an infobox)

If you do have a COI, you should declare it.
 * If the COI is merely  that of a student or alumnus or researcher, this is not strictly speaking required. but it will help avoid confusion.
 * If you are a staff member, and you have been asked to write the article, or if your hob would normally include writing material such as this or other public relations activity, we consider it a financial conflict of interest, and you must declare it. This is required by our WP:Terms of use, as established by the WMF and enforced as policy at Wikipedia.

If you do have a direct or financial COI, our COI policy is that you should not directly edit the article except to add routine facts and updates. Anything else that requires interpretation, or anything that is challenged or likely to be challenged, must be only suggested on the article talk page.

You will note that I changed the capitalization of the organization according to our rules. It will still be found by searching in either form. As details, we do not use Dr. for academic faculty when it is obvious; we do not repeat personal or organizational names morethan once per paragraph, and we do not include information of interest only to current or prospective students of staff.

You may not realize it, but the article on Rappaport has in the past been subjectedto extensive promotional editing, which has several times been reverted. Please make sure not to do likewise. If you disagree with any of my edits, the place to discuss them is the article talk page. DGG ( talk ) 18:27, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
