An extended welcome
[edit]Hi, Daryazinkovskaya. Welcome to Wikipedia.
I'd like to share with you some informations about wikipedia you should know first of all: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.
Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.
If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter.
Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.
I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. Lyupant (talk) 09:08, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
Some notices about your edits on "Bird Stein Gans"
[edit]I'd like to help you with some pieces of advice. You added this text: "Her first husband was Louis Sternberger.This marriage ended in divorce, and she married lawyer Howard S. Gans on July 2 1908." The section that refer to date wants attention. There are four possible formats to choose from:
MonthName Day, Year as in January 15, 2001 (symbolized as MMMM dD, YYYY)
Day MonthName Year as in 15 January 2001 (symbolized as dD MMMM YYYY)
Year MonthName Day as in 2001 January 15 (symbolized as YYYY MMMM DD)
Year-MonthNumber-Day as in 2001-01-15 (symbolized as YYYY-MM-DD)
The following links will help you in further editing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers/sandbox
And when you see something like a name of the institutions, organisations etc., you should look for it in wikipedia search, and if there is such article to put the name in double braces [[]].
Good luck in your further editing! Lyupant (talk) 09:16, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
Copyright
[edit]Hello Daryazinkovskaya, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Bird Stein Gans have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 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 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. Jytdog (talk) 01:19, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
