Copyright problem: Social inequality
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia.

I'm afraid that there is a problem with at least some of the text you've added to this article. Wikipedia is not able to accept text that has been previously published in other sources in most situations, except for brief and clearly marked quotations. I see that for instance you added the following text:

I find this text at the CEELBAS website:

Your content constitutes a very close paraphrase of that material, and accordingly I've had to remove it. I've also had to remove some content that very closely followed a piece by Michelle Bachelet.

Please review Copy-paste for more information about how to use previously published sources on Wikipedia. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:16, 8 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Yes, you can copy from other Wikipedia articles. If you do, you need to put something like the following in the edit summary:
 * Content copied from Article title, which see for attribution
 * Content on Wikipedia is not public domain, but by contributing we agree to let others use it very liberally, as long as they give us credit. Besides complying with the legal requirement for credit, a note like that in edit summary will make it clear where the content came from. This is particularly helpful if there is problem with the content and we need to trace it back to find out where it came in.


 * If you copy only a line or two, that should be enough. If you copy a lot, there are other steps you should take. In that case, you need to put the template copied on the talk pages of both articles--the one you copy from and the one you copy to. And you need to make a "null" edit in the article you are copying from to note in its edit summary that you have copied. (I usually just insert a blank line in the category section at the bottom and write in my edit summary: "Content copied to Article title ". If you find yourself wanting to copy more than a couple of sentences, I can help you with that process. It's not as complicated as it sounds. :) You can also read how to do it at Copying within Wikipedia. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:22, 9 September 2011 (UTC)


 * By the way, on Wikipedia we put new notes on the bottom of pages. It doesn't matter, because I saw your note, but it is easy to miss new notes when they are placed on the top. Most of us just check the bottom as a matter of routine. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:23, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
