Hi Razender - I've got a quick question. Did you copy the content in [http://animalcrossingwiki.me/w/index.php?title=Red_Dragonfly&curid=1645&diff=15216&oldid=15196&rcid=13421 this edit] from anywhere, in part or in whole? When Googling the text, I get results from both Wikipedia and other sites. If you are copying content from Wikipedia, such as you did at [[Help:Images]], that is fine, except that you have to state that you have done so on the article. If you are copying content from elsewhere, chances are that it's fully copyrighted and we cannot use it. Instead, it has to be written in your own words. Thanks, <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 14:54, 27 December 2010 (EST) | Hi Razender - I've got a quick question.

Question regarding content source
Hi Razender - I've got a quick question. Did you copy the content in this edit from anywhere, in part or in whole? When Googling the text, I get results from both Wikipedia and other sites. If you are copying content from Wikipedia, such as you did at Help:Images, that is fine, except that you have to state that you have done so on the article. If you are copying content from elsewhere, chances are that it's fully copyrighted and we cannot use it. Instead, it has to be written in your own words. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk 14:54, 27 December 2010 (EST)
