Milan Stanković
Hello. Thanks for your edits to Milan Stanković. However, I had to revert them to the previous version, for several reasons:
 * 1) First and foremost, they appear to be a copyright violation from http://www.story.rs/profili/milan-stankovic/biografija. The fact that you translated that article does not make it more acceptable. You may (and should) use that article as a reference, but taking whole paragraphs and structure is considered plagiarism. Articles should be written using editors' own words.
 * 2) Similarly, We have strict image use policy. File:Milan-1.jpg that you copied from somewhere is not free for reuse, unlike the current photo File:Milan Stanković cropped.jpg.
 * 3) Generally, the format of your article does not conform to our Manual of style. Trivia such as fanclub, height, moto, etc. generally should not be included, unless directly relevant to some events. Also,
 * 4) You removed some references, such as Eurovision publications, and added Facebook and Twitter pages. Those are not reliable sources and should not be used.

I understand your good intentions, but your submission can not be accepted in this form, chiefly for reasons (1) and (2). Please make a brief overview of our policies linked above. Do not be discouraged, please; you need not know all of that, and someone will eventually fix even if you make an error, but this one was just too much. Feel free to contribute to the article in smaller steps. You may use the Story article as a reference, but not just as a source of direct translation. Thanks for your understanding.
