Welcome![edit]

Hello, PhilipRK101, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:42, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Phillip, this is Bob[edit]

I got a notice that you’ve done some accidental plagiarism on your Wikipedia project. Go recheck our work and look for notifications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.75.7.72 (talk) 20:41, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article issues[edit]

Your additions to the Battle of Guard Hill article include passages copied verbatim or nearly verbatim from a non-free source. This was detected by automatic plagiarism detection software. For copyright reasons, your entire contribution was deleted. Please review the Plagiarism and Copyright training module before proceeding further. Thanks.

Text is copyright just like any images. You can't reuse someone else's text without violating copyright. You can use the information, but you need to make sure that you put it entirely in your own words. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 12:39, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Quotes need to be kept to an absolute minimum - generally less than a sentence. They need to be essential - there needs to be something about the particular phrasing that makes it important for the reader's understanding. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:23, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
