Welcome and a question

Hi Mikephshdj,
Were you the original author of the Turning point usa page you imported? Thanks! --DavidB4 ^(TALK) 15:00, 3 May 2021 (EDT)

Im new and not sure how to reply to messages. So help me out

But I believe I added some things to it but I didn't write the entire thing originally. It was a combination of pulling from Wikipedia and infogalactic and then I added my own stuff —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mikephshdj (talk)

No problem, thank you for replying! Both ways you did it work...posting on my talk page gives me a notification (just like me posting on your talk page notifies you), but as long as the other person is paying attention, replying to their post on your talk page should also work just fine.

Also, it is helpful if you sign your comments using --~~~~ (which can be inserted using the third button from the left in the upper editing toolbar, which looks like a pencil writing something). That way, we know who is saying what, so it doesn't get confusing.

Anyway, In regard to the TP USA page, I hate to say this, but you are not supposed to post any text which you have not written yourself, except for short, well labeled quotations. I know writing an entire article can be labor intensive, but due to plagiarism concerns, anything you post which was not written by you will typically end up being deleted. Would you be able to rework the article so that all of its content is original? It's okay if it is shorter...it just needs to be original and meaningful content.

Thank you! --DavidB4 ^(TALK) 19:22, June 11, 2021 (EDT)

Yes i can try

As far as copyright i found this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights

Which states did everything on Wikipedia except for images and specifically labeled content is free use to be copied edited and reproduced

I'll still try to edit the turning point USA article but I just also wanted to dissuade your concerns about copyright

If you have any suggestions for the article it would be greatly appreciated
