User talk:Icesmash1

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.

The problem concerns some of the sections you added to Central Narcotics Bureau, where the text was copied straight from the CNB website. Sjakkalle (Check!)  07:38, 24 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I am afraid that your recent edits, for example those added under "Vision, mission, and values" are still substantially the same as the CNB website. Swapping out "our" with "their" does not alleviate the copyright concern since the remaining structure is identical and a very close derivative. Also, be careful about using company websites as sources for your material, because they tend to write in a self-promoting style which is appropriate for their website, but inappropriate for Wikipedia which has a neutral point of view policy. It is usually better to use third party sourcing. Sjakkalle (Check!)  10:06, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
