Copyright
[edit]I have deleted this from your user page as well, and someone else has deleted what you added to Pygmy sperm whale. We cannot host copyright material anywhere in Wikipedia. Immediately under every edit screen, it says "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted." The source page was clearly labelled "© 2009-2011 WFAA-TV, Inc., a subsidiary of Belo Corp. All Rights Reserved", but even where a website is not explicitly labelled, it is almost never permissible to copy material into Wikipedia unless a formal copyright release has been made first. Please read Wikipedia:Copy-paste. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:27, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
