[edit] Copyright violations

Many of your contributions to Wikipedia have been copy-and-pasting from other websites which is a copyright violation. Please place original text to Wikipedia rather than others text.

Another thing, this image you uploaded had improper tags placed on it. The tag stated you were the creator of the image, which you are not; another copyright violation.

Please, do not violate copyright policies anymore. Moe ε 03:22, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

October 10 - please do not add redundant year links to date articles. Rklawton 02:45, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Moe - you have stated that "many of my contributions have been copy-and-pasting". That's not entirely fair. As far as I can see, the only article I did was for the Advertising Association, where I used their gambit on what they do. I didn't realise this would be a copywrite violation but am happy to take information on board and have since amended the article. As you can see from the huge work I did on the Advertising Standards Authority the vast majority of my work is written myself, not c + p. I will ensure that all my images have the correct tags - I was a little confused by the procedure, but the next time I upload an image I will ensure that the tags are 100% correct - thanks for pointing this out,

Rklawton - thanks for the info.

No worries. I haven't reviewed your body of work, so I can't comment on the whole of your contributions. I just scan through date articles for problems. You'll see a lot of that on Wikipedia. Rklawton 12:57, 17 April 2006 (UTC) Response From GM - That's cool, keep up the good work!!

[edit] Technical Problem

GillsMan 21:34, 19 April 2006 (UTC) I *think* this is the right place to write this, please forgive me if it's not. For some reason the tabs at the top of the edit page don't work anymore for me. The tabs that have the bold, italic, Wikipedia link, URL link, etc buttons don't do the action they are supposed to when I'm editing. They did work until recently, but they've stopped working for some reason and I have no idea why. I have tried to do a search on this issue, but I'm still finding my way around and couldn't find the answer. If anyone can help, I'd gladly take any advice on board. Thank you.

Those buttons rely on javascript being enabled and working in your browser. If you've updated/changed your browser or disabled javascript they are likely to stop working. --pgk(talk) 21:37, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

GillsMan 21:51, 19 April 2006 (UTC) Thanks for the advice, but I've checked the tools field in my browser (Firefox) and Javascript is enabled. So that's not why. Are there any other reasons that the buttons might not work?

Not that I'm aware of. Which browser are you using? --pgk(talk) 22:05, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
There was a change to the buttons recently, try clearing your browsers cache: Mozilla/Safari/Konqueror: hold down Shift while clicking Reload (or press Ctrl-Shift-R), IE: press Ctrl-F5, Opera: press F5..--Commander Keane 22:09, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

GillsMan 19:09, 20 April 2006 (UTC) Thanks Commander Keane - that fixed the problem!!

[edit] Not Copywrite Violations

I see that "moe" has not had the common decency to put right his earlier comments regarding "copywrite violations", specifically his assertion that "many of [my] articles have been copy and pasting". I would just like to say, once again, that it was one article, I didn't realise it would be considered copywrite (but I understand now why it was) and that all my other articles have been written myself, with NO copy + pasting. I would also like to state my dissapointment that "Moe" edited my talk page to say that "many" of my articles were copywrite violation without having the good sense to verify that that was true, and then not even come back to correct it, or apologise!! I'm not happy about it, to be honest, but I guess that's part of life: some people like to blaze in without checking their facts, and not stop to think if they might offend someone.
