We appreciate your contributions to the [[{{{1}}}]] article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

[edit] Origin and applicability

This template is based on {{nothanks}}, but has been reworded to better fit situations where copyrighted text is added to an existing article. It does not welcome the user, so it is suitable for those that have already been welcomed.

It asks for source(s) to be cited if the article is rewritten in their own words, this has the side-effect of making it easier to check that they have actually rewritten the information. Thryduulf 10:05, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
