I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! --JYolkowski 22:53, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Scouting Ireland (CSI), but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text borrowed from web sites. For more information, take a look at our policy library. Happy editing! FreplySpang (talk) 23:25, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know about the copyright status of the Scouting Ireland information. Give me a few minutes to look up Wikipedia policy for this sort of thing -- there might be some specific text for you to add to the articles to indicate that it's okay. Otherwise you may have to go through this again! (By the way, it's very helpful if you sign your postings to Talk pages by typing four tildes: ~~~~) FreplySpang (talk) 23:38, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Okay, the Wikipedia policy is not actually as clear as I would like. I'll remove the notices from the pages you added. It would be helpful if you would add a brief note to their talk pages, like the one you put on mine, indicating that you grant permission. Thanks for your patience here. I hope I haven't put you off contributing to Wikipedia. We get a lot of people copying webpages without permission, and it's a real problem. FreplySpang (talk) 23:52, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Sticking around -- Oh good. Have fun editing, and good luck in your work with the Scouts! FreplySpang (talk) 00:02, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
