Dear User:Rikaz77

Even the content is freely available on-line in a website, that does not mean others can just use it. It is understood that you are not much experienced in wikipedia & your intentions are good. Please try to we-rite the content. You can equate appropriate sections clearly shoving that they are equating & giving proper references. Singhalawap (talk) 07:34, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rikaz77 hopefully I haven't deleted anything to substantial from the article. The main thing is to summarise all salient points in a factual encyclopedic manner and ensure that all your sources are fully referenced.Dan arndt (talk) 11:51, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
