Tim Sale

Please do not plagiarize copyright-protected content from source, as you did with this edit to Tim Sale, which repeats text verbatim from the cited source. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images copied verbatim into Wikipedia. You may use external websites as a source of information, but the material you find must be properly paraphrased when added to Wikipedia articles. Since you've accumulated over 6,400 edits since 2005, you should know this by now. Nightscream (talk) 11:47, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I put all my edits in quotes and properly sourced my edits from the article. It's not plagiarism if I put the passage in quotes and cite the source. If someone made changes after me, I cannot control other editors. It's best not to jump to conclusions as you have done and presume to lecture people who just want to improve an article. Not sure why you took such great offense to something so clearly a good faith attempt to improve an article. RossF18 (talk) 03:35, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Olena Stiazhkina (July 20)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Urban Versis 32 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
