[edit]Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Total Worker Health. 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:38, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, I'm very new to Wikipedia editing and the brief training we had at work about this didn't cover how to use the templates that you're describing above. The content is from CDC webpages and I was able to find the plagiarism templates for that, but I don't know how to insert the template language onto the webpage to eliminate this violation. I'd love your insight on this. Thank you for your assistance! Kindly, Rrichards twh (talk) 14:31, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. When copying from PD sources, all you have to do is add the template
{{PD-notice}}
as part of your citation. Like I did here. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:55, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
