re Welsh cheesecake
I had to remove text copied from the blogs. Sorry, but we cannot take users' word for it that copyrighted text is OK for us to use.

In order for text from another source to be included in Wikipedia, it has to be released on a free license via a WP:OTRS ticket. In a nutshell, you basically have to release it so that anyone (including a competing blog or cookbook etc.) can use it. We have to verify that you have the right to release the information. It's complicated, and we generally suggest that editors instead rewrite material in their own words.

Also, blogs are not usually considered reliable sources. Cookbooks are, though, I think (it may depend on the cookboook). See WP:Reliable sources for details.

Thank you for your contribution. I had to cut it down to a stub but perhaps it can be built up again. Message me if you have any questions, and happy Wiki'ing! Herostratus (talk) 04:24, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
