User talk:JarodGCook

Welcome!

Hello, JarodGCook, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:JarodGCook, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello JarodGCook! Your additions to Colorado Technical University 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 suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- Diannaa (talk) 15:02, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Oh okay got it. I thought as long as you cited it, you could copy a full article. JarodGCook (talk) 21:20, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

No, of course not. -- Diannaa (talk) 22:07, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Got it. So as long as I don’t copy straight from a source and still cite it, I should be good right? JarodGCook (talk) 01:53, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes, that's how we do it. Write content in your own words; cite your sources. -- Diannaa (talk) 03:57, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Could you do me a favor and take a look at the Colorado Technical University page again? I was an alumni there so I always try to update their information. I added more rankings and also added more to their history section. If it’s incorrect please give me feedback on how to make it better. JarodGCook (talk) 19:42, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Those edits are okay from a copyright point of view.

Fun fact: you can combine duplicate citations by naming your references. SeeHelp:Footnotes -- Diannaa (talk) 20:03, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Okay perfect. I’m still new to Wikipedia so I’m trying to learn how to improve at making edits JarodGCook (talk) 20:55, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

December 2025

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to East Forest (Charlotte neighborhood) when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. An edit that you recently made to East Forest (Charlotte neighborhood) seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications is usually unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and may contain factually inaccurate statements, fictitious citations, or other problems. You should instead read reliable sources and then summarize those in your own words. Your edit may have been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 07:46, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of East Forest (Charlotte neighborhood)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on East Forest (Charlotte neighborhood) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, as it exhibits signs of having been generated by an AI model with no clear human review. Text produced by these applications can be unsuitable for an encyclopedia and output must be carefully checked. For further information, see the section G15 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think these signs were incorrectly identified and you assert that you did carefully check the content, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Additionally – if you would like to create an article but find it difficult, please ask for help at the Teahouse. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 07:45, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
