Unattributed copying of text from uhcougars.com
On June 7, 2011 you added some text to the article Leroy Burrell that appears to have been copied unattributed almost word for word from uhcougars.com (see this archive from 2008). If you ever return to editing on Wikipedia again, be sure to familiarize yourself with the rules regarding copying text and plagiarism first.

I WAS the author of Burrell's bio on UHCougars.com...Get a life
 * Well thanks for actually replying; I read the uhcougars bio while trying to learn more about Burrell (because the WP article was/is missing a lot) and noticed immediately that it read like the WP page. A search on the webarchive found the above. Whether or not you wrote it (I can't verify that without proof, but a search on the uhcougars website seems to suggest you may be telling the truth) you can't copy and paste entire sections with no proof that you can do that, so the section had to be removed and you contacted. Sorry about the -- at the least -- implied plagiarism, this was the first time I had to deal with a potential copyright infringement and could have worded that better.
