Ways to improve Gregory D. Hager

Hello, Graham562,

Thanks for creating Gregory D. Hager! I edit here too, under the username Eagleash and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-

Wikipedia cannot accept content copied from elsewhere> See source page Content should be removed or re-written to avoid copy-vio issues

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Eagleash}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

@Eagleash: Thanks for clarifying - this is my first Wiki attempt so still trying to figure out the ropes. I understand there was a maintenance tag for "close paraphrasing" from this source (which I also wrote): https://www.cs.jhu.edu/faculty/gregory-hager/

I tried to make small changes so it wasn't identical, but how different does it have to be? I can only rephrase the facts of his career so much, before it just isn't accurate anymore. And if/when the issue is resolved, how do I get it cleared to appear on a Google search? Thanks again!

The page has been reviewed by another new page patroller: hopefully they have done the necessary checks and are satisfied as to the copy-vio issue. I have looked at the question via the copy-vio 'tool' and I would not raise the issue as the page now stands. As the page has been reviewed it can now be indexed by search engines. It's not clear how Google's 'algorithms' work in these circumstances but it should appear in a reasonable space of time. For future reference new pages will be automatically indexed by Google if they go unreviewed for more than 90 days.

The copyright for the source belongs to the website even though you may have written it. A small amount can be used (it's often unavoidable) and it can be a 'judgement call' by reviewers but Wikipedia is *very* cautious about copyright and copying or paraphrasing can lead to the loss of editing privileges. You can read more about the subject at WP:C.

One minor point: I did not get your 'ping' as you did not sign your post (see above). When you 'ping' another editor you have to add the ping, the message and the signature 'all in one go'. A ping will not work without a sig. or if it is added later. Eagleash (talk) 21:21, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
