I noticed that you made an unusually large edit to the Cedarville University wiki page. While new users are encouraged to be bold, please make sure in the future that when you intend to make a large edit you discuss it on the talk page before making large changes to an article; that way, we can make changes more smoothly. Thanks for your edit, though!

Wasn't this properly cited AS a reference from the College's website?

In your edit, you copied the entire article and directly pasted it onto the page. You did not say in your entry that the text was a direct quote (which it was). Even if the quotation had been referenced the quotation would still have been a copyright violation because the entire article was copied. (Unless you obtained reprint permission from the original author, which I didn't see that you did.)

In order to avoid copyright lawsuits, Wikipedia asks that all contributions fit under the fair use justifiability. This means that quoted text needs to be designated as such, and that there needs to be justification for quoting the text. Please make sure in borrowing material from other websites that your contributions don't violate the fair use clause.

Thanks!

Copyright violation
Vegetarian, I deleted your recent addition to the Cedarville University Wikipedia page because it was a direct copy of material from the Cedarville University website. Unless you have permission from Cedarville, this is a copyright violation. If I have acted in error, I apologize. I advise you to read the Wikipedia policy on copyrights.

Adoption
Hi there! Regarding your comments on my page, you can find links to userboxes on this page. You already seem to have the general idea of it down, just copy and paste the nowiki text beside the graphic. If there are any other things you are interested in, such as editing, page creating, etc., please ask away! Kntrabssi 21:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I think Dr. Carl V. Phillips deserves an entry because, beyond his professional work, he has historical import for a decisive shift that is curently taking place within a growing segment of the human population in the West. Being oblivious to his contributions will not make Phillips any less significant historically. Maynard S. Clarkvegetarian

Note
A tag has been placed on "Carl V. Phillips", requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 06:47, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
