User talk:Tcannonrb

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Draft:National Student Housing Survey
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Draft:National Student Housing Survey, and it appears to include material copied directly from https://www.linkedin.com/company/national-student-housing-survey.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 11:18, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Help me!
Can some one offer advice on editing my article on the National Student Housing Survey. We have loads of independent sources and information to add to the article and I am new to Wikipedia editing.

I just submitted a basic draft for review.

 * Hi Tcannonrb. You copied and pasted copyrighted content to the draft and so I'm afraid it had to be deleted. You are welcome to write an article in your own words if there are sufficient reliable sources to cite to verify the content and demonstrate notability, but you must not infringe on copyrighted text in doing so. Please note that if you are a representative of NSHS and have control over that copyrighted content, that does not mean you can use it here while NSHS retained non-free copyright ownership. Rather, we could only use it if you or someone else with ownership over the copyright released it to the world under a compatible free copyright license (or into the public domain and did that release in a verifiable way); we could not use it simply with NSHS' permission for our use here. I am leaving a standard warning template below, which provides further information.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:29, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Fuhghettaboutit - I have now put the offending paragraph in my own words. I am a representative of the NSHS but understand the need for public domain release.

I would like to add pictures of the awards which how do I upload these?

Also am I refrencing correctly? Any other help or advice woulde be great.

 * For the referencing you may want to take a look at Template:Cite web; the template documentation explains the available parameters. In particular, citations should come with a title, and the "first1" parameter is meant to be the given name of the first author (or the only author, if there's just one); it should be accompanied by a "last1=" parameter for the last name, if the author's name is available. Otherwise it should be left empty and you should just use the "publisher=" parameter for the publisher instead (or in addition). For example, the reference to the Lancaster University press release could look like this:
 * , which will give:
 * The  code doesn't have anything to do with the displayed name; it's an internal name given to the Wikipedia reference itself in case you want to re-use it, for example because the same newspaper article shall be cited for two statements in different parts of the article. See WP:Referencing for beginners for details on re-using references.
 * However, Wikipedia content should be based on reliable third-party sources such as newspapers or reputable magazines reporting on the NSHS in some detail, not just the NSHS and the recipients of its awards. With the possible exception of the Red Brick article, your current references do not meet this standard.
 * On an unrelated note, if you edit Wikipedia as part of your job at the NSHS, you may want to check out the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use regarding paid editing. Huon (talk) 21:15, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Copyright violation in Draft:National Student Housing Survey
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the page Draft:National Student Housing Survey, 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.
