[edit] DHO
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the DHO article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing!
In addition to the copyright issues, the article looks like pure advertising, which is inappropriate for Wikipedia. Fan-1967 15:17, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- The main thing is to write a fresh article, rather than just copying a website. Wikipedia is not a bulletin board to repost material from elsewhere. Fan-1967 15:31, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

- And by this we mean start from fresh - don't paste in the violating text and then change it to something different - that makes your new version a derivative work of the original, so it's still a copyright violation. I've re-deleted DHO for this reason. If you write an article for Wikipedia, make sure that every word of the article is your own work and your own words, right from the get-go. Thanks. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 15:46, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm quite happy the edit wasn't intended as vandalism. I'll therefore remove this warning. Best wishes. AA Milne 19:26, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reverting Edits
Please see here. Most of the reverts that you see are made with VandalProof. You may request permission to download this software after your 250th mainspace edit. I would suggest spending more time making regular edits before concentrating on reversing vandalism. Here is a good place to get started. Also see here. Try looking at articles which interest you. Remember, its not a race, and making tons of useless edits is not helping anything. Just relax and have fun. shoeofdeath 20:20, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay. In that case you should just delete the link, since the archive version provides no useable info. shoeofdeath 21:30, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Sorry for reverting you edit to nun. The vandal whose work you partially fixed had deleted all the material about Catholic nuns in a previous edit and the easiest way to fix it all was to go back to an earlier edit. --Simon Speed 18:35, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your nomination for deletion Rip-off Report page
-jmac-, while agreeing there needs work to be done on this page, I strongly disagree with deleting it. Both supposed advantages and critisism of ROR are present. Over all neutrality in tone of voice is moving in the right direction. Who is biased here? I can't help noticing, you did not even remove the blatant vandalism. SooperJoo 20:12, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- jmac, thanks for your answer on my talk page. Feel free to help me out working on the Background section. I am not a native writer, costs me lots of effort to formulate correctly. SooperJoo 20:43, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- If you're happy to rewrite the 'background' section, please be my guest. I feel I can learn more in the use of English from you than the other way around :) I can help check out later, if there are any fact errors. SooperJoo 21:13, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
