Javan Rhinoceros
Thanks for the new information you've added to this page. One request though: could you please provide your references? All info in Wikipedia should be referenced I know this often isn't the case, including this article, but at least we can reference new info. References must be nearby since you just added it, right? Feel free to drop me a note. --Merbabu 01:32, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I saw the references - animal corner - and i made it an in=line citation.--Merbabu 02:04, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I've just deleted it. I now see it is clearly a copy'n'paste from and thus a copyright violation which is a serious matter. Please take more care next time. You are welcome to paraphrase info from the site and reference with in-line citations, but don't copy and paste and pass it off as your own. It only causes problems for wikipedia. kind regards and happy editing. --Merbabu 10:00, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I got your note - thanks. My apologies in advance if I've got it wrong, but I've seen the "that site copied it from wikipedia" been used falsely before. I'll look into it further. In the meantime, if you are confident that there is no copyright issue (ie, it was actually sourced from WP), please reinsert it and explain the case. thanks and happy editing. --Merbabu 01:20, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
