Copyright problem: Economy of Pittsburgh
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Economy of Pittsburgh, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to include text copied from http://www.upmc.com/aboutupmc/fast-facts/Pages/default.aspx http://www.gianteagle.com/faq/Faqitem.aspx?categoryId=6 http://www.hoovers.com/company/West_Penn_Allegheny_Health_System/rrtrhsi-1.html http://www.quantcast.com/pitt.edu http://www.hoovers.com/company/The_PNC_Financial_Services_Group_Inc/rrryxi-1.html http://www.pittsburghfuture.com/economy.html http://www.city-data.com/us-cities/The-Northeast/Pittsburgh-Economy.html, some of which was placed by you. I'm afraid this is a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at [ this temporary page]. Leave a note at Talk:Economy of Pittsburgh saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

If you are unsure how much material must be rewritten for Wikipedia to accept it, you might wish to view the essay Close paraphrasing. This guide from Purdue University can also be helpful. You are permitted to include brief quotations from copyrighted text so long as these are properly marked.

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:40, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
