Welcome!

Hello, Agilpin4927, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Article selections comments

1. Gun fu

• This is good. Be sure to look at the talk page and history before making the final selection here. Ultimately, I wonder how long this article needs to be. You'll want to integrate in those quotes and actually make it into an appropriate encyclopedic narrative.

1. Equilibrium (film)

• The gun fu one is better...although I suppose I see how you ended up there. This needs a bit of work but the basic structure is right. So let's pass on it.

1. Alice in Wonderland syndrome

• This is a good one. Lots of citations but it doesn't really look like a medicine article. If you choose this, be sure to spend a lot of time with WP:PSMED

1. We (novel)

• I'm surprised to see that this one is messy. At first glance, it has a lot and most of the right sections for a book, but the more I look at it the more I see needs to be done. Good find.

1. Vampire lifestyle

• Hmm, this one may be hopeless. I don't know...it has a long history, with many WP:NOT and WP:NPOV issues. I think it's been gutted recently. But could you set it on the right track? Perhaps. I'm going to throw it on the list. It will take a heavy hand, but it can be done.

You have some options. You pick what you want by adding it to yourself in the WikiEdu article tab ("Available articles"). The remaining ones someone else will probably pick up. Etherfire (talk) 05:05, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Copyright/plagiarism

Hello, I received a notification that you copied material verbatim and very closely paraphrased material to your article. This is seen as a copyright issue and plagiarism, even if you were to include the original source as a citation. 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.
