I become a wikipedian because of the course Environment and Society. At first I think it is very weird to edit those pages, but later, I am addicted to it.

Editing articles are interesting! I am glad to be a wikipedian!

Now I am working on this article: Sustainable energy

November 2012[edit]

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Sustainable energy. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. See WP:PLAGFORM #3; this may also constitute copyright infringement.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied text into Sustainable energy from another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. E8 (talk) 23:23, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 23:46, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
