For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. copyvio of http://www.polyhigh.org/magnet/about.jsp Zachlipton (talk) 06:56, 29 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Please stop introducing copyrighted text into Wikipedia! You should never copy and paste text from web pages into Wikipedia except in certain rare cases where the text is public domain or available under a suitable license. The vast majority of text on the internet is subject to copyright, including most school web pages. Please see WP:COPYRIGHT. Furthermore, see WP:PLAGIARISM which is clear that any external material must be properly cited when used in articles. Thank you. Zachlipton (talk) 07:14, 29 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Just to follow-up, you don't have an enormous number of edits, so I didn't see the need to start a formal investigation at WP:CCI, but I did just go through your contribution history and removed several large sections that were copyright violations. In other words, to the best of my knowledge, all these copyvios have been cleaned up. I noticed you have a number of good edits and are clearly interested in contributing productively to Wikipedia, so I definitely don't want to scare you away from here! We take copyright seriously because its vital to protecting the project, but there's plenty of opportunities for you to contribute original content or otherwise help the encyclopedia. Please see Community portal for many ways you can help out. Feel free to drop me a message anytime if you have any questions. Cheers, Zachlipton (talk) 07:48, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
