Your edits

I have reverted your contributions as such, I am sorry, saying that it is a copy of your own is not enough, it still is a copyvio. Moreover, the links that you added do not directly support the material. May I ask you to write the text again, in your own words, without literally copying it, and to support it with references which directly support the material.

May I note as well, that you do have a conflict of interest, and that you should be careful with adding material/links with which you have a clear connection.

I've left you a welcome template, above, with some more information. Please have a browse, and .. happy editing. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 11:31, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All the information I copied to wikipedia I had already written from scratch myself. Nothing was copied from any other website. For that reason I have replaced the information, although I have changed the links so that they point directly to the article relating to the watervole. Wrnicholls (talk)
