Review[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Your edit to Groundwater was held for review; I reviewed it and reverted because I didn't see support in the referenced article for the facts you were referencing. This led me to review the rest of the articles you have worked on. Many of the articles seem to have the same problem, that the referenced article doesn't seem to support the text in the article. I encourage you to review my work, and if a referenced article really does support the claims, you can add a quotation from the referenced article. You can do this right inside the {{cite journal}} template, like this: {{cite journal|... |quote=something from the article}}. If the referenced article don't support the claims, you could remove the reference and perhaps find a better one. If you wish to reply, please reply here and use {{reply to|Anomalocaris}} to let me know you have replied. —Anomalocaris (talk) 17:00, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly citing your own research[edit]

Hello Angelowalag, please review the guideline at WP:SELFCITE if you are citing your own publications and research. In most cases, it is generally better to propose such changes on article talk instead of adding your own publications yourself. Thank you for your consideration.

Apparently nobody told you about this guideline before. But please stop referencing your own publications in multiple articles, this is considered a form of spamming and can get you blocked. GermanJoe (talk) 12:16, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello Angelowalag, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Eagle Scout (Boy Scouts of the Philippines) have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

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 cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help: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 Wikipedia: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 the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia: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. GermanJoe (talk) 11:55, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of National Eagle Scouts Association of the Philippines[edit]

If this was the first article that you created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

The page National Eagle Scouts Association of the Philippines has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://agilapilipinas.weebly.com/nesaph.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion Review GermanJoe (talk) 11:57, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please read also WP:COI regarding Wikipedia's "conflict of interest" guideline, in case you have any personal or professional connection to a topic you are writing about. GermanJoe (talk) 11:59, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
