Welcome!
Hello, Pinkyj, 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) 15:47, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Copyright
Hi - I received a copyright/plagiarism notification concerning the article Lindisfarne Gospels. What looks to have happened is that you used an especially large quote from an external, copyrighted source, which set off the notification system. On Wikipedia we can only have fairly small quotes that are under a sentence in length and even then we should only use them in very specific situations when writing the content in our own words wouldn't suffice, such as quoting an opinion. Sometimes, rarely, we can have larger quotes, but those are usually in relation to something especially major and are stated by a fairly notable person/organization, such as the President of a country or the Supreme Court. I've removed the content from the article and I'd like for you to write the material in your own words.

I would also like for you to go over the plagiarism and copyright module before progressing further, thanks. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:04, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
