A couple of things you need to know
Hello, Stephanie! Thanks for wanting to improve our article about Stephon Clark. However, there were a couple of problems with your edits.

First, you copy-pasted material from the newspaper into Wikipedia. That is a big no-no here; for legal reasons we cannot word-for-word copy anything that has been copyrighted, which pretty much means anything that has been published. We can use the INFORMATION, but we have to put it in our own words.

The other problem is that you have been using two accounts: StephanieL1987 and StephanieLam1987. You can only use one account at a time; using more than one is called WP:Sockpuppetry. This account (StephaneL1987) was the first one you used, so I have blocked the StephanieLam1987 account. If that isn't the way you want it, I can unblock that one and block this one. But you can only use one.

I realize you only did these things because you are new and didn't know any better. If you have any questions you can ask here on your talk page; I will see it. --MelanieN (talk) 00:39, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
