Copyrights
The article you posted at Aleks Syntek appears to have been copied from http://www.rockero.com/artists/aleks-syntek/. Most web pages are copyrighted and may not legally be added to wikipedia. In order to be clear of copyright you need to rewrite the information in your own words. (The details of what can be used and what can not are complicated and I am not a lawyer and will not attempt to explain them. There is material at Copyrights that discusses the basics.)  The article at Aleks Syntek  has been listed on WP:CP as a possible copyright violation. You can write a new version, in your own words, at Aleks Syntek/Temp and it will be used to replace the copyright violating version once it has been confirmed to be a copyvio. (See WP:CP for details).

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, please be careful to avoid copyright violations. RJFJR 06:25, 8 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Well this is interesting. I found another page that resembled an entry at rockero.com but I'm told that they are actually a copy of wikipedia (whichg means they are violating OUR copyrights by putting a copyright notice on their site and not documenting wikipedia as the source as is required by GFDL.)  Further investigation to confirm is needed but if I got it backward about who is violating copyright then I apologize. RJFJR 16:19, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
