Hey thanks for the message. The AFD discussion has to stay for about a week - the admins (and I'm not one of them, alas), then decide what to do with the article based on the consensus of the vote. it's not a democratic vote, merely taking the views of the people in the discussion. doktorb | words 07:17, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Your recent contribution(s) to Wikipedia are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. If sources are left unreferenced, it may count as original research, which is not allowed. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at How to cite sources. Thanks! janejellyroll 05:38, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I responded to your question on my talk page. Please let me know if you have any more questions or if I can help in any other way. janejellyroll 05:48, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I saw that you re-added the material to the article without citing any sources. While investigating the external links, I found that the added material was word-for-word copied from the official website. I removed it while the copyright issues could be worked out . . . at the very least, the article will have to acknowledge that it is copied from another site. Here is an explanation from WP:C--"All works are copyrighted unless they either fall into the public domain or their copyright is explicitly disclaimed. If you use part of a copyrighted work under 'fair use', or if you obtain special permission to use a copyrighted work from the copyright holder under the terms of our license, you must make a note of that fact (along with names and dates). It is our goal to be able to freely redistribute as much of Wikipedia's material as possible, so original images and sound files licensed under the GFDL or in the public domain are greatly preferred to copyrighted media files used under fair use. See Wikipedia:Boilerplate request for permission for a form letter asking a copyright holder to grant us a license to use their work under terms of the GFDL. Never use materials that infringe the copyrights of others. This could create legal liabilities and seriously hurt the project. If in doubt, write it yourself." janejellyroll 08:15, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
