Fish kill

Thank you very much for your, generally excellent, contribution to fish kill. However, the section you added on "Turnover" is copied almost verbatim from the source you cite. This is a copy violation. I have removed the section, but it would be good if you reinstate it after appropriately paraphrasing the text. Your list of early warning signs in the Disease section is also a verbatim copy. It would be better if you either removed the list or reworded it. You could say instead that these are the warning signs "according to L. A. Helfrich and S. A. Smith", but that is rather awkward, and would only really be appropriate if those authors were notable enough to have their own Wikipedia article).

Please study the relevant guidelines to these issues, such as here, here, here and here. Thanks. --Epipelagic (talk) 01:33, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
