While I thank you for joining Wikipedia, I have a few comments about your first contributions. I have removed most of the changes you made to Presbyterian Ladies' College, Melbourne. The first section was lifted almost word for word from the PLC Website. This is a breach of copyright. Wikipedia is not exempted from copyright laws. (For more information see Copyright.)

Secondly, most of your contributions were written in the first person. Wikipedia does not and cannot speak on the behalf of PLC or the subject of any other article. Please make sure your contributions are in the encyclopedic style, not like an advertising brochure.

Some of the information you have included in your edits would be quite fitting for this article, however it needs work. I myself will be taking the raw text that you added and working on it to see what I can come up with. I hope to repost it into the article very soon. Feel free to make changes to my edits.

Finally, don't let this scare you off editing Wikipedia. Although some might think they are, none of us is perfect.

Again, welcome! Blarneytherinosaur 12:03, 10 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I managed to go through your information and fix it up quite a bit, and it's now back in the article. Take a look, see what you think, and make changes if you wish. Cheers. Blarneytherinosaur 12:50, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
