Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. —C.Fred (talk) 13:49, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. You were previously advised that adding copyrighted text is inappropriate. Do not re-add the text from the RSICA website. —C.Fred (talk) 03:17, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Dear C.Fred, please accept my sincerest apologies for the misunderstanding. I am one of the founding members of this project (The Red Sea Institute of Cinematic Arts) and am now years later working as a consultant on the project I helped to start - I can safely say I know more about this project than anyone else and was just trying to populate the brilliant wikipedia page with useful interesting information. Most of the information was original and written just for this page last night - my sincerest apologies for the FAQ for applicants which was copied over from the website as perceived, I had no idea this was an editing rule that I had broken (I was the original writer of those FAQ website questions back in the day as well! )

I am asking your permission to reinstate some of the edits that I had created originally last night just for Wikipedia please - minus any content that was mistakenly copied from our website without knowledge of the Wikipedia rule about copyright as a first time user.

I think my last edit did that but just in case, please let me know if there is any content in my last edit you found to be in violation and I will happily remove it.

Thank you very much for your understanding and your time. RSICA Editor - Claire Naber -RSICA Editor (talk) 03:30, 16 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't see any edits, other than the formatting of the MENA acronym, that you made last night—except for adding the FAQ, which is the infringing text. —C.Fred (talk) 03:41, 16 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Please also look over the section on conflicts of interest. As a founder and consultant of the project, you clearly have such a conflict. —C.Fred (talk) 03:43, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
