The version you have re-instated is masively out-of-date, I work for the marketing department and the pages I put up reflect our current website...much more accurate? Richardmacfarlane (talk) 08:25, 4 November 2015 (UTC)


 * No, you put introduced large sections of text into a Wikipedia article which included a significant amount of copyrighted material. I suggest you familiarise yourself with some of the legal aspects of copyright. If you have permission from the copyright holder to release the material then you can follow the instructions that are already outlined above. Drchriswilliams (talk) 08:42, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
