Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Regarding "Hydrography of Cúcuta and North Santander"

[edit]

Hello. I was recently going through your article, Hydrography of Cúcuta and North Santander, to add citations as part of the project to add citations. However, as I was going through the article, I found this source which is the exact same text as this article, and as such, without proper acknowledgement, this is WP:PLAGARISM. Here are some Wikipedia policies and guidelines that may help you: WP:VERIFY, WP:CITE, and WP:CQR.

Can you please fix this and any other instances of plagarism, by rewording information and citing sources? Thanks.

@Ariadne Lily: Thank you for looking up and adding citations. However, the source you linked is actually a non-compliant Wikipedia mirror. See "Project Gutenberg Self-Publishing Press, also known as Project Gutenberg Consortia Center. Unlike the Gutenberg Project itself, Project Gutenberg Self-Publishing allows submission of texts never published before, including self-published ebooks. Also owns the "gutenberg.us" domain. Launched in 2012, by 2015 became notorious for close connection with one "World Public Library Association". This latter, allegedly an "aggregator of eBooks", among other, publishes a sham encyclopedia called "World Heritage Encyclopedia" made of mangled Wikipedia articles." See also Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks/All#Project_Gutenberg_Self-Publishing_Press. Essentially, they copy content from Wikipedia itself. As such, this is not a WP:COPYVIO case. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 01:09, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see. Thank you, and I will review the sources I found again, and re-cite them. Apologies to you, Ricardocolombia, and thank you, Lemongirl. Ariadne (talk) 03:38, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
