Welcome! edit

Hello, Lambe181, 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.

  • You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 02:48, 2 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Plagiarism in Marine conservation activism edit

Hi. I noticed some of the content you've added appears to be copied from the sources. Please make sure that you use your own words when contributing to Wikipedia (and when writing in general). If you aren't using your own words, you have to include quotation marks. Please review the student training on plagiarism and copyright violations. I've restored the article to its state before you started adding to it, so that you have a clean version to work from.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:19, 5 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Fins-blog480.jpg edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:Fins-blog480.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
