Plot overview

I have written a plot overview and plot description for this historical novel as well as a short history of Thomas Cromwell. In addition, I have included some book reviewers' quotes pertaining to the author and her historical novel. Ivankinsman (talk) 08:08, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Please don't copy and paste copyright material from websites or books. Green Cardamom (talk) 20:57, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
As this was deleted from the main article, I have included a plot overview and plot, as well as a brief history on Thomas Cromwell, here. This can be removed once this information has been incorporated into the main article Ivankinsman (talk) 09:06, 9 October 2009 (UTC):
I've removed it again per copyvio converns. With regard to the plot outline, why don't you try rewriting it in your own words. A plot outline is useful, but we're not allowed to just copy/paste it from another souce. I don't think it can even be posted on the talk page. TheRetroGuy (talk) 09:22, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
As I stated on my talk page, copyvio converns refer to the main article page. I have removed the history section and am sticking to the plot/plot overview sections on this discussion page as these were taken from a range of different sources (which you have removed when deleting this from the article page). Please prove to me where this was copy and pasted from one source? Ivankinsman (talk) 19:18, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
Please stop being tendentious and attempting to wikilawyer your way around this. Copyright material is copyright material wherever it is placed. You as good as admitted yourself earlier that the material was copied and that you wanted it to stay here until you'd read the book and written your own version. If you want to keep this information to hand then I suggest you copy it into Word or Works (or whichever word processor you use), finish reading the book and then use it to write your own version. What you shouldn't do is keep posting copyrighted material on Wikipedia. TheRetroGuy (talk) 21:02, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
As for your question as to where the material is copied from. Why not try here for a start. Need I go on? TheRetroGuy (talk) 21:08, 9 October 2009 (UTC
Please take this to adjudication. You should be concentrating on the article page - the discussion page is not subject to editorial oversight except in the case of abusive language. This information is not meant for public viewing - it is simply used for discussion between wiki users interested in the topic. Ivankinsman (talk) 10:40, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Ivankinsman, your edit history is full of copyright violations in dozens if not hundreds of articles. Green Cardamom (talk) 17:25, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
The fact remains that although it is not in the mainspace, it can still be viewed by the public. You have been warned enough now so I've now reported you to ANI. Cheers TheRetroGuy (talk) 22:26, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
