The "Content is from Wikipedia?" tick-box


Hi, thanks for contributing to Citizendium!

I noticed that one or more articles you've uploaded appear to contain material from Wikipedia, yet the "Content is from Wikipedia? tick-box was not checked. Please allow me to make sure the policy on that is very clear in case any error is being made.

If any content of an article at Citizendium — even one sentence — came from Wikipedia and you aren't the sole author of that content, be absolutely sure you check the tick-box. It is just above the "Save page" button. If you are the sole author, however, please make it clear on the relevant talk page by and post a link to the Wikipedia article history giving evidence of such. You can use the {{WPauthor}} to assist you.

Please kindly review your contributions in this light. There are multifarious reasons for why we must be completely above board in this matter!

For your future reference, this policy can be found at Introduction to CZ for Wikipedians: New and unfamiliar practices.

Thanks again!
