Copyright violation
edit@Rlhuffine: The first two sentences are copied and pasted from the GSIS website. This is a copyright violation (see Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources), and must be removed immediately. I am also concerned about the rest of the article. It has the look of something that was copied from the sources; I can't access the sources, but the copy/paste in the lead makes it more likely that you copied other passages. If that is correct, I would strongly recommend that you remove the content and rewrite it. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously. RockMagnetist(talk) 16:16, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
@RockMagnetist: I rewrote the opening paragraph and will review the original sources to ensure that no copyright violation has occurred through the rest of the article. It was never my intention to quote directly from the source and is something I will make sure to avoid in the future as well. Thanks for raising the concern. rlhuffine(talk) 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- You're welcome, and thanks for dealing with this promptly. RockMagnetist(talk) 18:33, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
