[edit] Copyright
I'll post this message here as well to make sure you see it. You can reply to me here, I'll see your message.
The problem was that the Bernard Chan article you posted was copied directly from a website, which is almost certainly owned by the people behind that site. We can't use content copyrighted by other people here on Wikipedia, as that would violate their copyright and is illegal. Citing sources is fine and very much encouraged, but we can't copy whole sections wholesale from the sources.
You can reply to me here, I'll see your message. henrik•talk 22:42, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

- Here are a few links which explain some things, which I hope you may find helpful:
