For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. .

[edit] Reply re. Kevin Manthei

Thank you for your message about the article Kevin Manthei. As you will see from my message above and from the edit summary, I removed the material that you had added because it appeared to me to be an exact copy of material from an external web-site. This is termed a "copyright violation" and Wikipedia takes this very seriously. If the material has been copied "by permission" with an appropriate license, then I apologize – please see the Wikipedia policy on Copyright for information on how you can prevent similar misunderstandings in future. Your material will all be stored in the page history, so it can be restored if necessary; you have not 'lost' anything! However, if the material has been copied "without permission", then restoring it will not be welcomed, and you may find yourself blocked for abuse of editing privileges. In relation to the list of film scores and other material: Wikipedia is not a list of statistics. Such listings can easily be found on other external sites, and in my opinion, there in no need to reproduce the same material in this encyclopedia. Please see the Wikipedia Welcome page for more information about contributing to this encyclopedia. Regards. -- MightyWarrior (talk) 09:47, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
