  Hello Labrodorite, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Draft:International Ocean Discovery Page has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. /wiae /tlk 02:34, 20 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

International Ocean Discovery Program

edit

Hi Labradorite, inspired by your edit to Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, I created a stub for the new version of the program, unaware of your draft. Feel free to integrate parts of your draft article into my rather hurried creation. Mikenorton (talk) 15:25, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Your submission at Articles for creation: International Ocean Discovery Program (March 7)

edit

An article about International Ocean Discovery Program was created on 1 February 2016, while your draft at Draft:International Ocean Discovery Program about the same subject was still pending. Since there is now an existing article about this subject, I cannot directly accept this draft. However, feel free to merge this draft (by copy-and-paste) with the existing article. You do not have to resubmit the draft; you may proceed with the merge directly. If you have any questions, please let me know. Best, Mz7 (talk) 20:55, 7 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
