Urmston Grammar School text and images
Greetings. I removed a significant amount of text from the article that was a direct copy/paste from. The text you copy/pasted violates the copyright of that website. Also, I deleted three images that you uploaded Image:UGSFront.jpg, Image:UGSClock.jpg, and Image:UGSClock.gif as they also violate the copyright of that website.

We wholeheartedly welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but regretfully we can not accept copyrighted material. In general, images and text taken from other websites should be considered copyrighted unless there is affirmation on the website in question that the material is in the public domain.

If you have need of assistance or any questions, please feel free to ask me. I'd be happy to help you! --Durin 16:30, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
