Doc Jame. What do you mean? I used quotation marks and referred to this public source several times. I also referred to <http://www.palgrave.com/us/book/9781403917232> and to various LinguistList postings that include the same information. These sources are public and available for quotation. Please un-delete the item. I worked on the item for several hours. The item introduces the reader to that book. You are discouraging people from improving Wikipedia for no good reason.

We require people to paraphrase.
Copying large blocks of text even with quotes around some of it is not sufficient.
One cannot for example upload a Disney movie and put quotes around it. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:23, 16 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Doc James. I can paraphrase it then. I did for some of it. How can I do it? I cannot see the page. I am new to wikipedia. Thank you.LeonidaBishop1 (talk) 08:30, 16 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Doc James. I am a language teacher interested in lexicography. I read the book carefully and am impressed by it. Thank you. LeonidaBishop1 (talk) 08:31, 16 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
