Windows on Earth

Hello Teon, I've just finished some work on the above article that you created, and I would like to remind you that Wikipedia has a very firm copyright policy, which should be observed at all times. A good majority of the article you posted was taken word-for-word from the Windows on Earth site, which is a violation of the copyright policy. As a new editor, please take the time to read the links provided to you above, to familiarize yourself with some of Wikipedia's most important policies. And if you have any questions about editing, please check the help pages, or you can ask at the help desk. Cheers! Ariel♥Gold 13:25, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed categories

Hi, TeonEdwards! I removed the categories from the article you were working on in your userspace, since they put userspace pages in mainspace categories (see Wikipedia:Cat#User_namespace). In the future, when building an article in your userspace or copying articles from the mainspace to your userspace, try to remove the categories. Thanks!
