Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but your edits to Sean Sasser have been partially removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images copied verbatim into Wikipedia. You may use external websites as a source of information, but the material you find must be properly paraphrased when added to Wikipedia articles. I have retained some of the material you added, and paraphrased and summarized it.

In addition, material on Wikipedia must be written in a neutral, dispassionate tone, without the informal narrative or unattributed laudatory language that is often found in promotional material, or in this case, a memorial, as Wikipedia is not a memorial. Specifically, the passage "his legacy of being one of the first public faces of young gay black men living with HIV will live on forever." is appropriate for a memorial, but it is not encyclopedic in tone or language.

If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 01:55, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
