Erin O'Toole's page needs major work but unclear to me how to flag. Bit of a risk because he is both a living person and major political but the lead in has very few sources and is written in a non neutral manner. Would you be able to help me flag this article?--MarcusLeland (talk) 19:29, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

-== Wikipedia and copyright ==
-[[File:Control copyright icon.svg|30px|link=|alt=Control copyright icon]] Hello MarcusLeland, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to [[:Janice Charette]] have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the [[public domain]] or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a [[WP:COMPLIC|suitably-free and compatible]] copyright license. (''To request such a release, see [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission]]''.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid [[copyright]] and [[plagiarism]] issues.
-*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 mark]]s (") and cite the source using an [[WP:IC|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 [[derivative work|copyright problems]], so it is not permitted here; see [[Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing]]. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] the information and to demonstrate that the content is not [[Wikipedia:No original research|original research]].
-It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page.  Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-copyright-new --> [[User:Moneytrees|Moneytrees🏝️]]<sup>[[User talk:Moneytrees|Talk🌴]][[User:Moneytrees/CCI Sort|Help out at CCI!]]</sup>  15:43, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
