User talk:Dropatopabunny

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type &#126;&#126;&#126; (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (4 tildes).
 * Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Remember Neutral point of view
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Hi Dropatopabunny and welcome aboard. Sorry to bear bad news so early, but the weapons articles you've been adding cause a problem for Wikipedia because the text (and pictures) in them have been copied-and-pasted from other websites. This creates a copyright problem for the project, meaning that all these pages will need to be deleted unless you have permission from the original sites to re-circulate their material. Wikipedia can only accept material that you yourself have written, or that you have permission to use.

It's a pity that we have to lose the articles though - if you go to each of your contributions and read the copyright problems notice, you'll find a red link there where you can rewrite the material in your own words. Doing this will mean that when the original article is deleted, your own version will be used to replace this.

Sorry again for the bad news - if you have any queries about any of this, please leave a note on my talk page. Cheers --Rlandmann 11:06, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
