[edit] Welcome

Hello, Vegetarian, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. If you are looking for help, please do any of the following:

There are a lot of standards and policies here, but as long as you are editing in good faith, you are encouraged to be bold in updating pages. Here are a few links you might find useful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~), which produces your name and the current date. Also, it would be a huge help if you could explain each of your edits with an edit summary. Again, welcome!

I noticed that you made an unusually large edit to the Cedarville University wiki page. While new users are encouraged to be bold, please make sure in the future that when you intend to make a large edit you discuss it on the talk page before making large changes to an article; that way, we can make changes more smoothly. Thanks for your edit, though!

Wasn't this properly cited AS a reference from the College's website?


In your edit, you copied the entire article and directly pasted it onto the page. You did not say in your entry that the text was a direct quote (which it was). Even if the quotation had been referenced the quotation would still have been a copyright violation because the entire article was copied. (Unless you obtained reprint permission from the original author, which I didn't see that you did.)

In order to avoid copyright lawsuits, Wikipedia asks that all contributions fit under the fair use justifiability. This means that quoted text needs to be designated as such, and that there needs to be justification for quoting the text. Please make sure in borrowing material from other websites that your contributions don't violate the fair use clause.

Thanks!

[edit] Copyright violation

Vegetarian, I deleted your recent addition to the Cedarville University Wikipedia page because it was a direct copy of material from the Cedarville University website. Unless you have permission from Cedarville, this is a copyright violation. If I have acted in error, I apologize. I advise you to read the Wikipedia policy on copyrights.

[edit] Adoption Offer

I see your name listed under the Adopt-a-user category and I was intrigued, being a vegetarian as well. I'm extending to you an offer of adoption, and am excited for any questions you might have. Give me a shout back at my talk page! Always at your service. Kntrabssi 10:04, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Sterling Speirn, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a direct copy from http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070220/cltu124.html?.v=13/, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Sterling Speirn and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
  • If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Sterling Speirn with a link to where we can find that note.
  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Sterling Speirn.

It is also important that the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and that it follows Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at Talk:Sterling Speirn/Temp. Leave a note at Talk:Sterling Speirn saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Whpq 19:59, 15 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Adoption

Hi there! Regarding your comments on my page, you can find links to userboxes on [[1]] page. You already seem to have the general idea of it down, just copy and paste the nowiki text beside the graphic. If there are any other things you are interested in, such as editing, page creating, etc., please ask away! Kntrabssi 21:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
