Possible copyright violation(s)
Your contributions are appreciated. You are very welcome here. However, I have encountered possible copyright violation(s). Some or all of the content you added in a recent edit to Rice hulls:


 * Your addition to Wikipedia: "...rice hulls are sterilized and ground to a fine powder. The functionality comes from the fact that the rice plant absorbs silica from the soil and concentrates it in the hulls of the rice, thereby producing some anti-caking properties..."


 * Source: "...rice hulls that are sterilized and ground to a fine powder. The unique functionality comes from the fact that ‘Mother Nature’ causes the rice plant to take up silica from the soil and concentrate it in the hulls of the rice, thereby producing a natural alternative to silicon dioxide or other anti-caking/flow agents..."

Please remember that you must write in your own words. We cannot copy and paste from other websites. If I have made an error, please accept my apologies.

For further information, please read Copyright violations. If you have questions, please ask. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 16:59, 27 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Can I just use quotes? I have already linked the source and have no intention of passing the sentence off as my own work, but I feel it describes the process better than I could do in my own words. Also, do I have to submit everything all over again as though I was doing a new edit, or is there somewhere I can edit what I've already submitted? Sorry, I'm new! Thanks.

 * First, please do not be put off by the revert. Whenever you see copyvios or even close paraphrasing, it is important for you to revert others.


 * It is far better to write in your own words. You really need a good reason to use quotes. The link Quotations explains why. Furthermore, the source is not reliable.


 * Do your best to phrase it in your own way. That is a difficult, but a central skill for Wikipedian. It gets easier and easier the more you do it.


 * A good technique to ensure there is no copyvio, is to paste the text to a notepad. draw a ======== below, and rewrite the new text below that. That is far better than simply modifying the text. The latter gets you all muddled up. I know from personal experience. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:26, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
