A tag has been placed on User:Justinkui83/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthy_diet. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

Wikipedia and copyright edit

  Hello Justinkui83, and welcome to Wikipedia. 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 cite the source using an inline citation. 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. — O Fortuna velut luna 15:39, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

April 2017 edit

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Healthy diet, you may be blocked from editing. Warning: WP:3RR Zefr (talk) 18:38, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Plagiarism/copyright and edit

Hi! I'm your content expert for your class with Amyc29. I've had an alert sent to my email that says that you have used content that has been previously published elsewhere.

As others have stated, you can only use small amounts of work that has previously been published elsewhere and even then, you must clearly state who is saying this and where the material was taken from. A citation alone will not suffice for this - you must state in the passage itself who said the quote or made the claims. There were three problems with the way you posted the material:

  1. The way you published the content with this edit gave off the impression that it was your own work, as you did not put down something like "According to John Smith of the ABC Medical Institute, ...", you just cut and pasted the content mostly as is. Even if you cite it afterwards, writing it down like this makes it seem like you wrote this yourself. This can be seen as plagiarism and a copyright violation even if this wasn't your intent.
  2. Using small quotes can be fine as long as it's properly attributed within the section (ie, name attached to quote and other important details), but you should not post more than 1-2 lines of content per quote. It's rare that anything more than that would be warranted and even then, that's something that you would only do if the content could never be re-written or rephrased in a way that would get the same point across. The only exception to that would be if the content had a compatible copyright with Wikipedia, which these sites did not.
  3. The content was removed several times, however you kept re-adding the material. Please do not do this, especially if the reasons for the reversion are that it poses a copyright issue and that there may be issues with the posted content. This can be seen as disruptive and if done enough, can actually lead to you receiving a temporary block from editing. If your material keeps getting removed please discuss this on the article's talk page and/or on the talk page of the user that removed the content. Discussing the reasons for the content's removal can sometimes result in the best type of collaboration, where the other editor helps by giving you pointers on how to improve the content and works with you on solving any issues.

I would like for you to look over the plagiarism tutorial again before progressing further. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:45, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
