[edit] Really sorry, but...

Oh dear, I was just admiring your work in creating this article, and was about to send you a big congrats on it, when I realised some of the prose was familiar... I'm afraid we aren't allowed to copy and paste text from other sources, because the original writer/publisher will have copyright on it. We have to write the whole thing again in our own words (tediously like being back in school). So I'm terribly sorry to say that I've removed all the cut-n-paste text.

BUT. Really well done on starting the article - it's long overdue. And now it's there, I'm sure it will grow nicely... :-) JackyR | Talk 11:12, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

damn, so we r not allowed to copy and paste stuff off other websites (makes sense i suppose; just another part of the learning curve). anyway, can we change it back so i can turn it into my own words. Pratj 20:48, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

ill have to add it again tomorrow (in my own words of course, damn copyright) if we revert it i can change it from there, so i have better bearings of the structure. Pratj 20:59, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, they tend to discourage that, because it's too hard to write something sufficiently different. Best idea is probably to read it from teh original site in one window, then flick to another window and write what you think you remembered, rather than have the text there and edit it. Like you say, that learning curve thingy... Besides, I like the structure you already introduced! It's been preserved in the subheads. go for it! JackyR | Talk 21:12, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

i have padded it out a bit (without any copying or pasting). on a seperate note pickle is willing to help with the medway forts article Pratj 14:39, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
