Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Draft:National Space Centre Ltd, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://nationalspacecentre.eu/iap-rmp/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

A couple of notes

[edit]

Hello, Carla. :) Welcome to Wikipedia. I'm sorry that your first edits have been a bit frustrating!

I wanted to let you know that I've deleted your draft article for two reasons. First, it triggered our copyright defenses, as you know. I'm going to leave you a form letter that explains a little bit more about how we handle copyright after I write this note. It's a form letter, but a good one - packed with some complex information. If you own the copyright to the content, or if you work the people who do, you may actually be able to use it, but because copyright is a legal issue we have to verify that you have the ability to license it first. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for those processes or stop by my talk page and ask me more. I'm happy to try to help.

The second reason I deleted it is that it was a malformatted copy of the content in your sandbox. (I've blanked your sandbox, but not deleted it. The contents are still in the "history" of the page, in case you can verify license for the material.)

When you want to copy content from your sandbox to another page, you need to copy the source code. If you just copy what you see on the page, it will be all kinds of messed up. Pressing "edit source" and copying what's in the resultant box will give you what you need.

If you can't verify license, please rewrite your sandbox draft in original language in accordance with the copyright notes I'll be offering you below.

Please do reach out if you have questions. You can find my talk page by hitting the word "talk" after my username. You can edit my talk page just like any other page - pressing "+" or "new section" (what you see depends on your settings) will allow you to start your own discussion thread. You put a title for the discussion in the small box on top and then the note itself in the big box. Please try to sign your notes on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~), which turns into a link to your userpage and user talk and a timestamp. :)

Thanks. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:27, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Control copyright icon Hello Carla.brown89, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • 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 a cited source. 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 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 designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 can, but please follow the steps in 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. Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:27, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
