[edit] Bad Blood (1981 film)

Please do not copy external material that are under restrictive copyrights into articles. You appear to have copied this webpage. I have removed the majory of the article contents. - SimonLyall 10:44, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

While some of the material was copied, I was actually in the process of editing this and writing my own version, based on the site you mentioned above and various other websites. There was a lot of material too that was not copied, and I find it disheartening and frustrating that you have removed the majority of the article - I spent a lot of time learning how to format the article correctly etc only to have you remove it, for what I believe to be a uninformed judgement. Perhaps you could have added a tag or suggested to me personally that the copyrighted material needed to be removed. Jnimmo 11:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Adding a tag would have attracted the serious copyright people who would have blanked the article even more agressively. The state the article was in when I saw was largely a copy of the other webpage. Even if you were going to fix it later what was there at the time was a problem. I would suggest adding bits back to the article so that at no point does what is saved violate anyones copyrights. Sorry if this seems a little agressive but it is better to be safe than sorry. btw I have added your article to Wikipedia:New articles (New Zealand) so other NZers are aware of it. - SimonLyall 11:20, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Fair enough, I guess I sort of thought that it's wikipedia and if I put it up now while I have some time then I can fix it up later. Jnimmo 20:17, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
