 * I removed part of what you added to Bruce Tinsley, because it was copy+pasted from another website. Please don't copy and paste from other websites, as that is a copyright violation, and Wikipedia can't accept copyrighted material.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. ''You are not supposed to copy&paste anything onto wikipedia regardless of whether you were allowed or not. Also, your edit was on a template, not School of Columbus you were looking for.''

 * If you are referring to the template you edited, I've already fixed it. For creating a new page, you may want to look at Help:Starting a new page. It explains it better than how I could. If you have any problems feel free to ask me on my talkpage.--Sunny910910 (talk 00:30, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 00:27, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: not sure how to fix it
You did make a mistake- you were adding the text to a template, Template:Indiana-school-stub. Templates are used for inclusion on other pages, so they shouldn't have this kind of information. Also, there isn't much use of putting copyright information in the article, since we can't verify it. Instead, put the information on the source page you are copying from. The best alternative would be to reword it, rather than pasting it. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 04:36, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
