Hi. Could I ask you to stop by [[Talk:HIV test]]? I have several concerns about material which you are repeatedly inserting there. Let's discuss the best way to present the data on false positive results so as not to create an erroneous impression.

The edit you made [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HIV_test&diff=282707657&oldid=282557791 in April] to [[HIV test]] was reverted at the time, in part because it clearly added [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyrighted]] material to Wikipedia taken from [http://www.virusmyth.com/aids/hiv/cjtestfp.htm this website] without confirmed permission from the copyright holder. For [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|legal reasons]], Wikipedia cannot permit editors to add copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. |

I realize that this is "old news", and that the material you added did not comply with [[WP:V|other]] [[WP:DUE|policies]], but I wanted to make sure that you understood that in general you may use [[WP:RS|reliable external websites]] as a source of ''information'', but not as a source of ''sentences'', or even halves of sentences, or items for a long bulleted list, because Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators are routinely, even aggressively, [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]. |

Hi, thanks for your work on the article. The state of the article has annoyed me for years, but it is already much better and the remarkable character as he was truly deserves this. --Benjaminbruheim (talk) 07:47, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
HIV test
Hi. Could I ask you to stop by Talk:HIV test? I have several concerns about material which you are repeatedly inserting there. Let's discuss the best way to present the data on false positive results so as not to create an erroneous impression. MastCell Talk 05:45, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Copyright issues
The edit you made in April to HIV test was reverted at the time, in part because it clearly added copyrighted material to Wikipedia taken from this website without confirmed permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot permit editors to add copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted.
I realize that this is "old news", and that the material you added did not comply with other policies, but I wanted to make sure that you understood that in general you may use reliable external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences, or even halves of sentences, or items for a long bulleted list, because Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators are routinely, even aggressively, blocked from editing.
