Yodo, please be aware that the text you've recently added in Romania about the auto industry in Romania is copied from http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/05_30/b3944003.htm . This is not acceptable in wikipedia, because that text is copyrighted, and we are infringing on the copyright holder's rights (we call it a copyvio). Only copy and paste text from an external source when you're absolutely sure that the source is in the public domain, or otherwise not encumbered by copyrights.

Also, please be more careful with how you integrate your text with the existing article: adding two huge paragraphs about the auto industry in Romania on the page about Romania isn't very helpful, since that page is supposed to be an overview of the country. You may wish to create a dedicated article, say Auto industry in Romania, an link it from Economy of Romania. But then again, make sure the text you're entering is created by yourself, or copied from a public domain source (in this case don't forget to give citations).

Toate cele bune, IulianU 10:32, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] copyrights

Please, please don't add copyrighted material from other sites to Wikipedia. I'm sure you meant well, but it is absolutely not a good thing to do. The usual consequence is that it eats other contributors' time as we track doen the sources of the material and remove it; in the worst case, it can lead to us having to delete an article and start over. -- Jmabel | Talk 16:42, August 15, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Talkpage rule

Hi again Yodo, I'm just dropping in to tell you that we usually don't remove things from talkpages (for a number of reasons - see here for some explanation). I'm putting back IulianU's comment with this same edit for this reason. Cheers, KissL 16:54, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Pgk's RFA

Thanks for your support on my request for adminship.

The final outcome was (80/3/0), so I am now an administrator. I was flattered by the level of support and the comments, so I'm under real pressure not to disappoint, thus if you have any queries, suggestions or problems with any of my actions as an admin then please leave me a note --pgk^(talk) 12:18, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Belated thanks

I now have a few extra tabs at the top of my Wikipedia pages. Thanks for your support. Banno 08:04, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

Hi, Bonny! Trolling and sockpuppetry again? Welcome aboard! --Ghirla | talk 12:20, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Are you that crazy? it seems so baby--Yodo 12:22, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alex Bakharev's RfA

Since you voted before on RfA, you should know that one shouldn't copy the votes on Alex' previous RfA to this RfA. There is a link to the first RfA that people can follow. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 12:44, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I just use them to justify my vote pal.--Yodo 12:46, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

You can do that by just saying "for the same reasons as in the first RfA". And I'm not your pal, I don't even know you. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 13:31, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Good. I don't know you either since I'm newbie but I want to be friends, see'ya pal. --Yodo 13:33, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Please stop adding comments like the ones you've added to the page. You've made your comments, now just let people vote in peace or you will be blocked for trolling and vandalism. Consider this to be your first warning.Gator (talk) 13:38, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Don't threaten me pal. Say this to your pal Ghirlo --Yodo 13:40, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

My name is not "pal" I am not threatenng you and I have no idea who Ghirlo is. Just stop what you're doing and we can be friends.Gator (talk) 13:42, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, troller's name is user:Ghirlandajo just because I vote against his will I don't like the way he behaves. --Yodo 13:45, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I have no idea what youre talking about. Sound slike your new. Just tone it down a bit and you'll do fine here and won't be blocked.Gator (talk) 13:46, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Ok, gator1. --Yodo 13:47, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Please do not disrupt an RfA. Jonathunder 15:59, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
