    I tried to create a wiki page for my website and it was declined because they said it was plagiarized... but it was just copied text from my own site that I wrote.

    Has anyone successfully set up pages before? How do you get into their system?

    I don't really know about that, maybe cite your source?

    What I do know is that you can plagiarize yourself in college and get kicked out for it. No, it didn't happen to me, but it does happen.

    Of course - they wanted to protect YOU from someone stealing you site's text and publishing it on Wikipedia! How would Wiki know that you are the owner of that site?

    Someone wrote a Wikipedia page on me a few years back...I'm not sure actually how someone does that in the first place. The creepy part is it was pretty accurate including my birthday and birth year, which I don't believe I ever told anyone about.

    Right. I don't know how to cite myself as the source?
