Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the "Help Desk". You can also leave a message on my talk page. -- &oelig; &trade; 08:47, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

(Talkback|OlEnglish) thanks for ur welcome OlEnglish I hv written to the south african publishers of the article, - ramsy publishers (i think) from their site and am waiting for a reply re approval to post their copywritten material.

One thing that has always perplexed me though is that if i am "stealing " information from any source and translating it into my own words, I still feel as if I am "stealing" it. even though i wd always acknowledge the source. to me just rearranging the way an article is explained does not make it my own. I suppose to me it is the same as copying a patent and making one tiny change.

As I hv no idea how to post my own reply I hv had to resort to editing urs. PLS dont accuse me of plagiarism (Gorgeouschick (talk) 09:46, 8 April 2010 (UTC))
