[edit] VFS article

No problem. Just keep in mind that it's an encyclopedia article and not a "listing" of any kind. In particular it's currently lacking in references for all the alumni, and I don't know of any source for this information. It really should be referenced so that it doesn't get removed from the article. — Saxifrage ✎ 22:01, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

That sounds good. If you need advice or feedback for a particular edit or pointers to helpful guidelines, I'm here to help. As for using the article's talk page, it works just like my talk page does except that it's got a bigger audience. You can get there by clicking the "discussion" tab at the top of the article. New sections can be started by clicking the + tab at the top of the page beside "edit this page", or you can edit an existing section by clicking the "[edit]" link to the right of the section title. You can also have Wikipedia automatically write out a signature for you that helps others keep track of who said what by typing four tildes (like this: ~~~~) at the end of your message. When you save, it'll be converted into a signature with a timestamp similar to mine. — Saxifrage ✎ 22:36, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyrighted material

The last edit you made to Vancouver Film School is derived from text that is copyrighted by the VFS. (See here.) This isn't the first time that you've inserted copyrighted text into an article directly from VFS's site. I have to warn you that because copyrights are serious business at Wikipedia, repeatedly inserting copyrighted material is grounds for removing editing priviledges, temporarily or permanently. Please stop. — Saxifrage ✎ 03:14, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
