Copywrited material on Wikipedia
[edit]Hi Mk520, I just wanted to let you know that some of your additions to Doping in sport were reverted (See here). This is because they appeared to be copied from the cited source. Remember that references should be summarized, not copied over and if you are quoting from a particular source it needs to be clear (either through quotation marks in the text or a {{blockquote}}) that Wikipedia is not the source of that text, even if you are citing it as a reference. You may still cite the source and provide a summary in your own words--the article does need some information on the anti-doping convention. Please let me know if you need a hand with where to start on summarizing sources like that. Thanks. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:17, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
