Copying large amounts of text from websites will always attract attention. That's what has happened here. I always assume that websites are indeed copyrighted although in this instance I did not find a copyright notice on the website that you copied text from. Regardless of that fact, users should always use their own words (paraphrasing). Thanks. Dawnseeker2000 02:57, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
- OK thanks for the reply. Under these circumstances it will be necessary to resolve this issue by following the details at WP:IOWN and / or WP:CONSENT. If you have further questions I probably won't be able to assist you further as I haven't actually walked through the process myself, but you can find even more information at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. Hope this helps & have a great day. Dawnseeker2000 03:15, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
