Copyright/plagiarism

Hello, I received a notification that you had copied material verbatim to the article for Third Women Press. Upon reviewing the content, it looks like you both closely paraphrased and copied material verbatim from the official website for TWP. This is seen as a copyright issue and plagiarism, even if you were to include the original source as a citation. As such, I had to remove the copyrighted material from the article and your sandbox. Always be careful when writing article content - a good way to avoid doing this is to take notes while reading and write your article from those notes.

Unless the material is explicitly marked as falling into the public domain or was released under a compatible Creative Commons license, it should be assumed that the content is copyrighted in a way that would prohibit it from being used verbatim elsewhere. It's always best to write things in your own words, as this can help prevent issues like this from arising. I would like for you to review the module on plagiarism and copyright, thanks.

I also have another note - some of the writing is promotional in tone. This is another reason why it's better to write material in your own words, as things like official websites or other sourcing will likely be aimed at promoting a specific topic, company, or idea. In other times the material may just be too casually written. When writing in your own words, make sure that you avoid slang and promotional terms. So for example, the term "birthed" should only be used in cases of giving birth through pregnancy. You also want to avoid terms like "passion for", as these are common marketing terms. Let me know if you want any help re-writing the content. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:45, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Your draft article, User:Pallicsirp/sandbox

Hello, Pallicsirp. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
