2nd/4th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment article
Hi, In response to your question in this edit summary, I removed that material as it was a violation of the association's copyright: you can't copy and paste material from most websites into Wikipedia, and copyright violations are taken seriously. Please see FAQ/Copyright or the rather less readable Copyrights for advice on this issue. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 07:15, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Nick Nick-D (talk), Thanks for clearing the reason up. I am new to Wikipedia obviously and want to do the right thing. I just wanted to populate the page with more information then what was there. As the IT and web manager for the association website I did not see anything. I respect copyright very much so how much can I put on Wikipedia? GaryJiear (talk) 07:39, 20 March 2017 (UTC)


 * No worries at all Gary - Wikipedia's learning curve can be pretty steep. You can't post more than explicitly referenced quotes from the website unless it's published under a Wikipedia-friendly license. If you would like to donate some or all of this material and are in a position to do so (which would be great), advice on the process to use is available at Donating copyrighted materials (see in particular the "Granting us permission to copy material already online" section).
