[edit] National Youth Leadership Training

Hi,

Please don't do a verbatim dump of material from a pamphlet/guidebook/whatever straight into an article; not only is it a copyright violation, but it doesn't make for a readable encyclopaedia article.

Thanks, Oli Filth 00:52, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes- your edits to NYLT were reverted because they were copied from the BSA web site; this is a copyright violation. In addition, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a training manual. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 00:59, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

In addition, please see Wikipedia:Three-revert rule. Please discuss specific issues on the article talk page. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 02:09, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
