[edit] Multiple copyright violations in speciation

Ben, you cannot copy passages from books, or scan in images and upload them. Authors have a copyright to their original creations, be it text or images, and the Wikimedia Foundation would be breaking the law if such text and images were included in unmodified form in its articles. I have therefore reverted all changes you have made to speciation and ask that you please put back only those that are your own original creations. Note that by doing so, you agree to license your contributions under the GNU Free Documentation License, that is, you surrender most (all?) of your rights to your work. Best wishes, Samsara (talk • contribs) 22:46, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible Copyvio reverts

Do not revert to versions that contain possibly copyright violations. By doing this you are putting Wikipedia at legal risk. Please, just wait until the provenance of the passages is decided. pschemp | talk 23:55, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

It might sound like I'm being harsh on you, but when it comes to legal matters, especially copyright violations, no chances can be taken. I'm sorry if you are unhappy with this, you are still a valued editor, but waiting a bit will harm nothing. Reverting could harm Wikipedia. pschemp | talk 23:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Sure. Try using PowerPoint or some other presentation software (there's a free one in OpenOffice) to make life easier for yourself. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 09:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task for a few days/weeks now, due to unforeseen events. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 08:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
No, I'm not working on it yet. Thanks for letting me know. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 12:30, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Speciation_experiment.png

Hi Ben. Good work re-drawing the image. However, you have a typo in the image ("seperate" instead of "separate") - is this something you can fix? In addition, if the image is non-copyright, you might want to consider uploading it to Commons. Guettarda 14:10, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sheep

No. It says that Domestic Sheep ARE a hybrid, made from O. orientalis and an unknown second ancestor. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 09:27, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image

I'll take a stab at it this weekend. --Fastfission 14:59, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
