Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! Apologies for having to remove your contributions to the McLaren M23 article (see below) but unfortunately Wikipedia does not accept any form of copyrighted material without a valid, verifiable licence. As the material you added was lifted almost verbatim from the Ultimatecarpage website is was unacceptable for inclusion here. I hope that doesn't deter you from contributing (in your own words!) in future though. Please feel free to contact me if you would like any help or advice. Bye for now, and happy editing.

Copyright problem: User:Novykedward/sandbox
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as User:Novykedward/sandbox, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to contain material copied from http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/sn/330/McLaren-M23-Cosworth.html, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. 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 believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author to release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), leave a message explaining the details at User talk:Novykedward/sandbox and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". Make sure you quote the exact page name, User:Novykedward/sandbox, in your email. See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on User talk:Novykedward/sandbox. See Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), version 3.0", or that the material is released into the public domain, or if you have strong reason to believe it is, leave a note at User talk:Novykedward/sandbox with a link to where we can find that note or your explanation of why you believe the content is free for reuse.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

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 User talk:Novykedward/sandbox saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing!

Many apologies for having to bug you about this again, but Wikipedia cannot host copies of protected material anywhere on this site, and that includes User pages such as sandbox tests. The Ultimatecarpage article has a very clear and unambiguous copyright statement, so the copyright protection for the page and all of its content is not in doubt. If you want to use information from that page to help expand the relevant article then please feel to do so, and I will help and advise if you desire. However, all content must be in your own words (neither direct copies nor close paraphrasing are acceptable) and should preferably be integrated with the existing material.
