Copyrighted material
Hi Darthderrick. Thanks for your additions to the Miami-Illinois language page. However, I noticed that most of it was directly copied from Costa's "The Miami-Illinois Language." Wikipedia absolutely cannot include copyrighted material except in quotations, and the material you added was not marked as direct quotations; even though you cited Costa's book, it was not made clear that you were quoting his work directly. As a result, I removed all the copyrighted stuff I could see; it's important information, and should be added to the article, but it needs to be rewritten from information extracted from Costa's book (and other sources) rather than directly copying him or anyone else. I can try to help with that. But the important point here is to make sure copyrighted information is not added to Wikipedia. Thanks, and take care --Miskwito (talk) 17:48, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
