Hi Sophienoire, I wanted to let you know that I have reversed some of your contributions and explain why I did that. You seem to have copied and pasted text from articles in the Art Newspaper and then added a link to the article in the external links section. There are some problems with that. First, directly copying content from the Art Newspaper is a copyright violation. You should use your own words, not someone else;s. The second isssue is that citing a source for your edit should be dome with a proper citation, not an external link. Please see Help:Referencing for beginners for instructions on how to add citations. I understand that seeing your first edits reversed can be discouraging. Please don't let me discourage you from editing and ask for help if you're not sure how to do things. The teahouse is a place where a new editor like yourself can get answers to questions about editing. All the best, Mduvekot (talk) 15:27, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
