That's a canned welcome message. This isn't. About your article on Sussie Nielsen - I acknowledge that you tried to do the right thing, but Wikipedia articles have to be original text. Copy-and-pasting the biography section from Sussie's official website... you can't do that. All Wikipedia content is released under the GFDL, and we can't do that if we don't own it in the first place. You can take the information from her site, but not the actual wording.

Adding a link to her site, that was helpful. And you did include enough info so that there was an article left after I deleted the biography section.

You're welcome to re-create that section using the info from her website in your own words, though. I'd do it myself, but I don't have time right now. Okay? DS 15:56, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
