This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Yvonne Maddox, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.nimhd.nih.gov/about/dirBio.html.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:05, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
Furthermore... edit
When you use PD material, it is necessary to indicate exactly what material is being copied from where, normally ny the use of quotation marks, just the same as every use of material copied from elsewhere. WP requires proper attribution, whether or not the material is PD. DGG ( talk ) 00:24, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
And you should avoid jargon such as " across the NIH" , whether orb to it is in the original. WP is written in Eglish not bureaucratese. Use of terms like this gives an impression of promotionalism.
The illustration "Yvonne T. Maddox conducts research early in her career." needs a more precise caption, such as when and where. DGG ( talk ) 00:26, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest edit
Hello, CDJNIMHD. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Yvonne Maddox, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:54, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
