Tip
Hi Laughlovesing,

I see that you tried to add information to Leukemia, and someone else removed it. There were three problems with your addition: The first is that it's a copyright violation. You have to write things in your own words, instead of just copying and pasting them out of another source. The second is that you didn't name the source you used, which often makes people nervous about whether you just made things up. (I know that you didn't, of course, but sometimes people do.) And third, the information you included is out of date (at least twelve years old) and only for one country. There are actually about a quarter million new leukemia patients every year in the world, not merely 28,000.

Wikipedia is sometimes an overly complicated place. I hope that you'll keep trying to help improve it. If you have questions, please feel free to click here and leave a message for me. WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:47, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
