[edit] Copyrights, etc.
Your article Infernal machine reads like it is probably a copy from a book or journal, especially the use of Harvard-style citations without the presence of a list of references. I hope you understand that Wikipedia cannot take material for which someone else holds the copyright and has not granted us rights. If it is your own work, great, and just say so (and if you had previously published it elsewhere, please say where). Similarly, if it came from a public domain source, that source should still be acknowledged. If not, let me know (by responding here) so that I can remove the current article as a copyright violation, and you can rewrite this in your own words and with explicit acknowledgement of your source. Thanks. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:11, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
