Hi; Two problems

Problem 1

Hi. They let you engage in paid for editing? That's interesting. Are you being paid to edit the Sasson article?

Please revert yourself here.

Your edit put back in place the edits by an editor who has now been reverted by a series of editors, including an admin. That editor is consistently deleting RS supported material. Deleting RS refs. And adding language he concocts.

You're not just reverting my edit -- calling it vandalism, even though it is appropriate. But reverting the other editors, including admin Material Scientist, who are trying to keep this vandal from vandalizing the page.

See here for example.

If you want me to get admins such as Material Scientist involved (again), let me know. Otherwise, please look at the history and self-revert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:E016:A700:A87C:4133:5F08:F9B4 (talk) 20:18, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Problem 2

Furthermore - you are making a mistake [1]. The material you deleted is all true and supported properly by footnotes to mainstream media. Please stop deleting footnoted material. You cant delete it because you dont like the format of the footnotes. That is not acceptable. If you dont understand, we can involve the editor who just edited that page who also looks to be an administator. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:E016:A700:A87C:4133:5F08:F9B4 (talk) 20:23, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

• You responded on my page - "ethanbas:I'm not being paid to edit the Sasson article. I reverted your edits only because you don't know how to reuse citations correctly. The content you were putting on was fine. I'm not going to waste my time to refix the links, which i did, before you messed it up again. What you're writing is all correct. Just learn how to reuse citations correctly please, thanks."

You are wrong. There is nothing in wikipedia procedures that allows you to delete material you admit is accurate, because you do not like the way the form of the citations looks. Nothing. At all. Ask an administrator.

There are rules against deleting material that is accurate and that has proper citations. That is what you are doing. Not good. 2604:2000:E016:A700:A87C:4133:5F08:F9B4 (talk) 21:19, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Easterlin hypothesis

I'm afraid this article does not qualify for speedy deletion. An article can only be speedily deleted if it meets a very narrow range of criteria, you can read them here. Notability is not one of them. If you want to get an article deleted on notability grounds then you need to use the proposed deletion or articles for deletion processes.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Ethanbas, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Form 1099-OID has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 01:27, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
