close paraphrasing

Hi, and thank you for your edits. I'm glad you want to contribute to Wikipedia. I wanted to draw your attention though to a tag I've placed on the article you created, Hearing aid compatibility rating, noting that the text seems to closely paraphrase some copyright sources. Close paraphrase is considered a problem in Wikipedia articles, because it can be regarded as a copyright infringement. I've placed more details on the article's talk page, Talk:Hearing aid compatibility rating - could you have a look? Gonzonoir (talk) 14:28, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Gonzonoir. I would check out what you have written, but alas, the article has disappeared. <sigh>. Well, the article will reappear when someone else needs it, I guess. I learned what I needed when pulling together the resources, and don't have the time to work on it anymore... Thanks for your well intended advice; I will note close paraphrasing in the future. --Juicymixx (talk) 13:15, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
