Hello, I'm Mr. Stradivarius. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Total physical response without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Also, material on Wikipedia needs to be cited to reliable sources, and neutral and free of advertising - please see Verifiability and Neutral point of view. — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 12:26, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Total physical response, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Tprworld", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 12:28, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * To clarify, from your username it looks like you might be affiliated with the official TPR website, tpr-world.com. — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 12:30, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello Tprworld, 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. — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 12:34, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Another clarification: I recognise many of the phrases used in your version of the article, and while I haven't made a thorough check, I suspect that they might be copied from James Asher's book Learning Another Language Through Actions or from other official TPR materials. — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 12:35, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
