I assume from your edits that you are the same editor as 68.157.29.52 (talk · contribs). Unfortunately, we cannot use your contributions without you providing sources for them. It appears that at least some of your material is copied directly or with little change from copyrighted web sites, and this is not acceptable.-gadfium 19:31, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I have blocked this account (and am about to block your IP address accounts) for 24 hours due to your serious violations of Wikipedia copyright policy. See WP:COPYRIGHT. All of your recent edits are going to have to be undone. Please do not edit from another IP address during this block, and when the blocks expire, please do not add any more material to Wikipedia from other, copyrighted sources. We do not have a right to use such material, and you stealing it from there places us and you in legal jeopardy. Please don't do it again. If you have any questions about this policy, feel free to ask for further information here on your talk page. Georgewilliamherbert 03:39, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright issues

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Georgewilliamherbert 04:15, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
