Wikipedia on Campus Facebook page
Hi ,

Thanks for being part of the Wikipedia Public Policy Initiative! I'm LiAnna Davis, the communications associate for the Initiative, and I wanted to let you know that we have a Facebook page, facebook.com/WikipediaOnCampus designed to keep students like you up to date on the latest news, events, photos, videos, and hints to help you edit. If you're on Facebook, please check it out!

Happy editing! -- Ldavis (Public Policy) (talk) 21:50, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Importing content from other sources to Wikipedia
Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. :) I hope that your project goes well. We appreciate your interest in contributing! I've dropped by to talk to you about how to handle information that you bring over to Wikipedia from other sources.

Wikipedia is bound by the copyright laws of the United States, and its policy is to remain well within those laws to protect the interests of the project, its reusers and copyright holders. Our policy is that content from copyrighted sources cannot be imported directly unless you use brief excerpts in clearly marked quotations. (See our non-free content policy and guideline.) The facts are free for reuse, but creative content such as language and structure are not. We have to take the facts we find and rewrite them completely in our own words. The essay Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid issues. The article Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches, while about plagiarism rather than copyright concerns, also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism".

In the case of your contribution to Workforce development, I'm afraid that the content was much too close to this copyrighted site. Content that was copied from that website or followed it too closely has been removed from the article. You can, of course, return the facts once these have been rewritten.

Although that particular source was copyrighted, you may at some point find a public domain source you wish to incorporate in Wikipedia. If a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, we can use it verbatim as long as we acknowledge that we're doing so. This keeps us compliant with the guideline on plagiarism.

I'll be watching your talk page for a time in case you have any questions about our policies here or would like to discuss this particular instance. You are also welcome to come by my page at any time if I may be of assistance. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:35, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello
Hi Tianmaxingkong, I am one of the online ambassadors for the USPP project and am also the class coordinator for IU's class. I saw your edits at the Workforce development article and I'm glad to see you editing. However, I noticed that you added the tags after your level-4 ( ==== ) headers. Please note that those tags are not necessary as you are already using level-4 headers, which is a step lower from the level-3 ( === ) header. I have already edited them. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me or one of the ambassadors listed here. Cheers, Bejinhan   talks   14:15, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! Bejinhan, who's making sure all the students in your class get whatever help they need from online ambassadors, asked me to serve as mentor for you and Yimchang.  So please ask if you need anything, and I'll leave some comments and suggestions on the talk page of the article you're working on soon.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 16:00, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
