February 2009[edit]
Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Craig Mullaney. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 02:25, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
This is the last warning you will receive for posting copyrighted material as you did to Craig Mullaney. Changing one word (blue-collar to an) does not make it ok. If you do so again, you will be blocked from editing. If you do not understand this warning, please ask. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 03:12, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
Your message[edit]
In case you're not watching, I replied to your message on my talk page. I also wanted to drop a note to explain the terseness of my warnings above. Copyright infringement is a serious concern and we all need to take it seriously for the good of the project. When you added back most of the copyrighted material it seemed as though you didn't take the first note seriously. I don't want you to feel put off by the rules, or by my messages, but they exist for a reason. Contact me with any questions or concerns. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 15:37, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
