Hello, with this edit you again added a reference which is not really correctly formatted and had already been used in the text on other occasions. The earlier instances have been re-done more in line with the 'cite web' template and also given the ref name 'MiloPhilips'. (See here and here). To use the reference in other instances you need only type <ref name MiloPhilips/>. Please see WP:REFB for more information on adding references. Please also note the punctuation goes before the ref. Thank you. Happy editing. Eagleash (talk) 09:50, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Welcome[edit]

Hi and welcome to Wikipedia. I reverted your edit to Virus because we do not allow plagiarism, even when it is just one sentence and the source is cited. I know it can be tricky to recast simply phrased statements, but it can be done with a little thought. Also, I don't think your addition was helpful because the source you used does not say from where the information was derived. Graham Beards (talk) 22:04, 13 February 2017 (UTC) Hello Graham-thank you for the attention: please note that I fail to understand why my entry was plagiarism-a sourece was cited.[reply]

Hi, see this page WP:PLAG, where it says "Inserting a text—copied word-for-word, or closely paraphrased with very few changes from a copyrighted source—then citing the source in an inline citation after the passage that was copied, without naming the source in the text."

February 2017[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Exemplo347. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Please stop adding spam links to this website to every article you edit. Exemplo347 (talk) 16:30, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Information icon Hello, Sequence44. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Exemplo347 (talk) 16:33, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
