Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the page Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Metropolitan Achievement Test (MAT), but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition was deleted under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License." You may also e-mail or mail the Foundation to release the content. See Donating copyrighted materials for more.

While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright concerns very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:09, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * The same applies to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Kuhlmann-Anderson Test (KAT). Putting the content you copy in quotes and citing the source does not make it somehow not an infringement of copyright. You may possibly be confusing copyright with plagiarism. Plagiarism is using someone else's work and passing it off as your own, and clearly stating where you got the content from avoids plagiarism. Copyright infringement, however, is using someone else's work without their permission, and publicly announcing that you are doing so does not make it all right.

 * The same applies to your edit to Achievement test. It will save a lot of trouble if you can go back and revert any other edits where you know you have copied content into articles. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:24, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
