Syrthiss,

thanks for the advice. I'll try rewriting the article with my own words. I didn't know about this policy. Just like everyone in Wikipedia, I'm trying to help. Thanks, again. Scheid2 (talk) 18:15, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Yepyep, not a problem. New editors do it often enough that we have pre-written template messages to inform people about it, so nothing to feel bad about.  I look forward to your article. Syrthiss (talk) 18:16, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
