Chi Eta Phi
Hello. My handle is Naraht, and I've seen the changes that have been made to Chi Eta Phi over the last 24 hours. I'm glad that you've gotten an account. I'm an experienced editor specializing in (among other things) Greek Letter Organizations. I'm going to go edit today and make some adjustments to what you've added to meet various standards. In terms of improving the article, references to the Chi Eta Phi website are not as good as those other places (the North Korean foreign ministry shouldn't write the article on North Korea or be the primary source of references. :) ) However minoritynurse.com looks *really* good in terms of use for references. One piece of information that you may be able to track down, when did Chi Eta Phi allow men as members?Naraht (talk) 13:09, 8 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your help. I would like to add a photo of the founders. How is this done. Can you assist me? Tlgary (talk) 20:07, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * (Rearranged things a little for the way that conversations are done on wikipedia, just add one more colon to your response to this).
 * Are you talking about a single photo of all 12 of the founders, or 12 photos (like or equal to) the ones on https://chietaphi.com/founders/ ? The primary issue is copyright, and that gets tricky. Photographs of the founders (presumably from 1932 or later) would still be under copyright and the question is who owns the copyright. If the National organization owns the copyright, then it could be donated, but that would have to be legally done. The key date here is 1923, so for example, while the photo of the Delta Sigma Theta founders is out of copyright, a photo of the founders of Iota Phi Theta would not be.Naraht (talk) 00:25, 18 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Ok. I am interested in one photo with all 12 founders. Tlgary (talk) 01:57, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Who owns the copyright? Chi Eta Phi itself?Naraht (talk) 21:12, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Tlgary, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Chi Eta Phi have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and 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 cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help: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 the 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.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:54, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
