VII article
Welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for your recent contributions. Please note the Wiki policies on copyrighted work and the use of multiple accounts. My concern is that your new article is a word for word copy of the "About VII Photo Agency" page on their website. This makes the article subject to a 'Speedy Delete'. Please consider making wholesale revisions to the article so that it does not violate copyright policies. Also, apparently several accounts are modifying the same material. In Wikipedia, this is considered to be the use of Sockpuppets and is strongly discouraged. SteveHopson 22:05, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
