Welcome! edit
Hello, Harley.jarrett, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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.

March 2016 edit
Your addition to Gender roles among the indigenous peoples of North America has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. I am in the process of removing the copyvio material and doing cleanup on the article. Wait till I've saved a new version, and until you've read and understand WP copyright policies before editing any more. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 23:01, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm sorry about this. Could you specifically tell me what violated the copyright? I think I paraphrased too closely which is what I'm trying to fix now. I'm not sure if I didn't cite something where I should have. I need to try to upload edits again because I'm doing it for an assignment in college but I don't want to violate the copyright laws again.--Harley.jarrett (talk) 15:49, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
You are still not engaging on the talk page of the article. This is a serious problem. I'm still looking over your most recent addition, which looks to just be a slight tweak to the previous copyvio, with commercial sites like amazon as sources. You need to discuss this on the talk page or you're just going to keep getting reverted. It is not the job of other editors to fix all your changes. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 19:40, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. You only tweaked a few words. The text is still very clearly copied, pasted from the source document, which I have linked on the talk page. This is your last warning. Do this again and you will be blocked. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 20:09, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Copyright issues edit
Hi Harley.jarrett. Right now, two editors, CorbieVreccan and Indigenous girl trying to communicate with you about your edits. Both have pointed out that your edits have added material that is copied or closely paraphrased from another source. These edits are particularly difficult for editors to clean up and the main concern for both of those editors is that you understand what they're saying and don't intend to copy material into Wikipedia. If you need help understanding what they're asking you can let me or Tronda23 and I'll try to help out. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:42, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm sorry I haven't responded, but that is because I do not intend to make anymore edits. I talked to my professor and we agreed to work something out separately, but I still apologize for my actions.--Harley.jarrett (talk)
