I've removed your addition to Sekaninaite. The material added (it's still available in the article history) contained reference tags with no reference details provided. It had the appearance of a copy/paste addition from some other source. Please take the time to re-add the material with proper references or ask me to help. If this is a class project you are working on, let us know and we'll help with some of the details. Thanks, Vsmith (talk) 11:03, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Copyright problems

I've started reviewing your recent addition to Sekaninaite. I have the Grapes, et. al. source and have just removed a WP:Copyvio from your added text. Please read that page and don't copy and paste directly from your sources. Where I come from that gets you an F. The complex formula copied is not the problem - the rest of the sentence copied is a problem. Should I find more, I'll simply remove your content. Vsmith (talk) 20:47, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Nickmead! Welcome to Wikipedia. Did you read the comments from Vsmith above this one? You can respond by clicking "Edit" on this page.

BTW, Vsmith, I just double-checked and I didn't find any evidence that this edit was copied from elsewhere; did you find otherwise?
