Contributions to the Stone Age article
Hi, thanks for your contributions to the Food and Drink section on the Stone Age article. You may want to make some adjustments - if you notice the rest of the dates in that section (and most dates before 10,000 BC) are given as years before the present. Also, it would be great to have some references. Welcome to Wikipedia! Just leave me a message on my talk page if you're unsure about anything! PatHadley (talk) 21:25, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Copyright
Hello Titchybear, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:01, 6 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid that we have had to remove the article Selby Swing Bridge as it included content copied from and . If you have permission to release this content under our license, or if you can verify that you own the copyright yourself, please see Donating copyrighted materials. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:05, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
