Please see Wikipedia:Copyright problems for more information on this topic, or generally, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. Please do not remove the copyright violation notice placed in the article or repost the suspected infringing text. However, if you would like to rewrite the article in your own words, follow the link in the posted notice to create a temporary subpage.

Temporary article

edit
I wish I could tell you exactly when. The article has to be reviewed by an administrator and it depends on the backlog. In the meantime, I have added categories to the temporary article and a stub tag, plus some minor changes to conform with WP:MOS. As I stated when I tagged the article, It was obvious that you were editing in good faith, unaware of our policy on copyrights. I hope this won't sour you on the site in general. Many newcomers run afoul of a policy or two when they first arrive. Your new article is a perfect stub, and I hope you'll stick around and contribute more.
Oh, and a little tip: in signing your post, you typed your name out and surrounding it by brackets. An easier way to sign your posts is to type four tildes like this ~~~~. When you hit save the tildes automatically signs for you and place a timestamp. The way you signed doesn't actually point to your name. Your name is at [[User:Reikishisugiru]]. When you sign with the tildes it takes out the "User:" part by making what's known as a piped link, like this: [[User:Reikishisugiru|Reikishisugiru]]. The pipe, is the bar in the middle. The text on the left side tells the wiki software what to link to. The text on the right tells the software what to display. Finally, I want to formally welcome you to Wikipedia. A welcome template is displayed below providing many useful links.--Fuhghettaboutit 22:30, 11 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
