Talk:Weeze

Latest comment: 18 years ago by BillC

I removed the section on Watton for two reasons:

  1. It was copied directly from this website: [1]. Please do not copy material directly from other websites as this is a violation of copyright.
  2. The subject of this article is Weeze, Germany. Only a mention that it is the twin town, together with a Wikipedia link to the article on Watton, Norfolk should be necessary.

I'm afraid I then found I had to go further. It appeared that all edits following the document creation (which I reverted to) had been copied from this site: [2] and then wikified. Please note that it is strictly against Wikipedia policy to copy and paste material from other websites that is not in the public domain. The website I just linked to is very clear about its copyright notice and states that no material may be copied from it and stored elsewhere. If you are able to find material that is not copyrighted (and for written text on the web this is generally rare), or you can write some of your own text to go in the article, then this would be very welcome. Alternatively, if you could find edits you made that were not copied from another website, these can go in the article. Thanks! --BillC 22:25, 19 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Following reinstatement of the material by its original editor, and the subsequent placing of a copvio tag on the article by another editor, I have produced a copyright-free version on a temp page. BillC 16:36, 12 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
