Mortar analysis
I've removed your contribution to mortar, since it's a direct copy of clearly copyrighted material. While it's equally obvious that you're the author and wish to donate the content, we have to remove material that's noted (as yours is) as copyrighted, "all rights reserved", etc., since Wikipedia content is freely re-usable. Please feel free to consider donating the material through Wikipedia's established process for such contributions, in which we can verify that it's really you and that you understand the implications of donation: see Donating copyrighted materials for how to do this. Additionally, please remember that, although you are an expert on the subject, Wikipedia requires that material be supported by published secondary sources to allow for verifiability of content, and to allow interested readers to pursue further inquiry. References and a bibliography are essential in today's Wikipedia: we can no longer just "write what we know." I encounter this problem often: as an architect, much of what I know isn't easily referenced, but we do have to make the effort. Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia, and I will be glad to help you through the maze of free-content copyright policy.  Acroterion   (talk)   15:02, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
