Copy/paste

Please do not copy/paste text from other places. In this edit [1], everything after the first sentence is word-for-word copied from [2]. --B (talk) 00:47, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Upon further review, basically everything you have written was really just a copy/paste of the source website. Please don't do this again. If you are found doing this again, you will be blocked. Please see Wikipedia:Copy-paste for more information on this subject. --B (talk) 01:11, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

I will reiterate what B said above- you cannot simply copy content from other sources to Wikipedia. If you think something should be mentioned in an article but do not know or are unable to add it to the page yourself, please post on the article's talk page. 331dot (talk) 06:59, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Sick leave may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
