thread_title: Assessment advice

message: How to Search for (1) "Latest" and (2) "Archived" ""NEWS & FEATURE ARTICLES" on "Schools / anything" from top newspapers and magazines, also as well how to search for relevant Blog Postings many of which contain local "Print News Articles" not available online - EXAMPLE Mayo College (Plrease help with improving the article on Mayo College, thanks)
As we all know in addition to referring to the main official website if we can research as many news and feature articles from top newspapers and magazines on each subject (article on wikipedia) and highlight top points in our own words or by "quoting" by properly referencing all such research, it improves the wikipedia article many folds and makes it much more credible along with providing many excellent independent unbiased reference links to readers.

thread_title:  Copyvio 

message: We can refer to several sources then write it in our own words and sentences and acknowledge the original references in the reference section, if we dont do so and copy and paste text from other websites, other users of Wikipedia will come and delete all copied text and the articled will be stripped down to a few lines at best.
Please also see WP:Copyright, Wikipedia:Citing sources, Wikipedia:Manual of Style, etc that may apply.
Wikipedia guidlines on Using copyrighted work from others::
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright#Using_copyrighted_work_from_others (from WP:Copyright).
Was referring to recent edits and stripping of Mayo College article on copyright arguments.
Mayo College article was stripped down from this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mayo_College&oldid=156160948 
To this raising copyright concerns:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mayo_College&oldid=156219045 
Most of the first version above can still be rewritten in ones own words to remove copyright concerns.
Same is true for improving the Mayo College related article on Mayo College Girls School
