Welcome! edit

Hello, Mehrdokht.pourali, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:48, 16 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

References edit

Hi Mehrdokht, in the article on Urban sprawl, reference #10 is incomplete. You should add at least the name of the agency and date the page was consulted. Bublos (talk) 21:48, 19 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Article issues edit

The Wikipedia articles you created, Weighted Urban Proliferation (WUP) and Measurements of Urban Sprawl, have been deleted because they included information copied nearly verbatim from this source. When you are writing for Wikipedia, you need to make sure that the work you are drafting is written in your own words. This doesn't only apply to the precise wording, it also applies to the general structure of what you are writing. Reproducing the general form of your source - sentence structures, paragraph structures, etc. - is still a copyright infringement. Since copyright infringements are not permitted on Wikipedia, your edits had to be deleted.

Please review the Plagiarism and Copyright training module before proceeding further. Thanks. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:59, 28 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
