Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Privacy-invasive software. 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. The article idea is good, and the sources are good, but the material cannot be copied and pasted directly. I've identified entire paragraphs that have been copied verbatim. The content should be rewritten. If you'd like to prepare material before committing it to the actual article, you could create a working draft as a subpage of your user-page, and then substitute it into the real article after you've rewritten it without any copyrighted sentences.

• I fully understand and I have followed the proposed guidelines to resolve this issue by sending an e-mail to permissions-en at wikimedia dot org in which I (as sole author of the source) allow Wikimedia to publish the content according to GFDL.
  • I apologize for not knowing! All I saw was a brand new user with no profile page or previous contributions copying chunks of text from copyrighted documents... Welcome to Wikipedia, and I am glad you have decided to contribute your work under the GFDL! --DJ Phazer ^talk 10:13, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
    • No worries :-) Anyways, I'm glad to be on Wikipedia and I hope for nice feedback and contributions from others. �Bichon 11:13, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
