Your addition to Kirk MacDonald (politician) has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. I know this is a bit of a harsh message for a newcomer, but the text you inserted was copied from http://www1.gnb.ca/legis/bios1/bio-e.asp?IDNo=228&version=e&legisNO=57 Minima  c  ( talk ) 12:20, 22 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Nothing has changed since the last time you copy and pasted an online bio into Kirk MacDonald's article. We still can't do this. We have to actually write articles and provide references to reliable sources to support what we add. The text pasted is from party website, meaning it's on the website to promote him, which is not Wikipedia's job, plus the text completely butchers manual of style, and adds a French bio to his article here, which is the English Wikipedia. It would be helpful if you would tone down the promotional content, provide actual sources, and help write the article rather than copy and paste. I'm sure there is much more that can be added than the single paragraph that's here now, and some of the copy and paste may be useful, but just not the way you added the content. I'm more than willing to help you, so if you are interested in writing or helping to write a proper article, let me know and we can see if we can come up with something.
