Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Irina S.B.! Your additions to Washington Irving High School (Tarrytown, New York) 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 § Licensing.

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) 16:18, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you. I (incorrectly) assumed that citing the original source would be enough. Lesson learned. Irina S.B. (talk) 16:37, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi Irina S.B., I sent you a welcome message 6 days ago which I know was a little long but one part was "Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites." Can you please let us know if there are any other copyright violations in your edits that need to be dealt with. Andre🚐 20:38, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

No, there are none.

This one I left mostly intact because I thought (erroneously) that providing the citation of the original, primary source of that sentence would be sufficient. Lesson learned. Irina S.B. (talk) 20:50, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

December 2025

Hello, I'm JeffSpaceman. I noticed that you recently removed content from Cigarette card without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. JeffSpaceman (talk) 15:23, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

It was a mistake! I actually was trying to add an image while also moving another one, but I accidentally exited the page without saving. I was in the process of restoring and re-adding when I got your message. Thank you so much for fixing my error. Irina S.B. (talk) 16:20, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

Also, please fix this source. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:12, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

Where is this source? Irina S.B. (talk) 18:01, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

I don't know what it is, but you keep adding it, and it's a dead link. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:50, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Tarrytown, New York, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources to see how to add references to an article. Your edit also added a disambiguated link. Magnolia677 (talk) 12:23, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

Im sorry for your work on Tarrytown, New York

He does that a lot just make sure all your is extra sourced form here on now, and challenge the removals. Luka Maglc (talk) 10:54, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Will do both. Irina S.B. (talk) 11:59, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

"These days, the brook flows mostly through culverts under streets and roadways, daylighting in a few places near the Sleepy Hollow High School and in Patriot's Park".

"Today Andre Brook largely flows underground from north of Tower Hill Rd., until it daylights in a few places near the Sleepy Hollow High School and in Patriots Park." Irina S.B. (talk) 16:24, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

And a couple of details were added by me because I live near that brook. Irina S.B. (talk) 16:32, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

And information on the shared ZIP code was put by me in Geography for the specific reason that it is shared by two localities situated in two different towns. Irina S.B. (talk) 17:18, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

Having said all that, thank you for thoroughly reviewing the article. Some of the stuff that you removed had been added years ago by someone else, and I was thinking of removing it myself, but a fresh look often helps. Irina S.B. (talk) 19:23, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

In the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain sources: simply add the template {{source-attribution}} after your citation. I have done so for the above article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself, and that it's okay to copy verbatim.
