Hi I'm WMartin74, made some amendments re category and 'orphan' links. Just wondering if the changes work? Kind regards. Callan. CallanGrey1972 (talk) 10:20, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Hello CallanGrey1972,
It seems to me that an article you worked on, Overview of New Zealand Historical Fiction, may be copied from http://historicalnovelsociety.org/new-zealand-historical-fiction/. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.
It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.
Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 09:50, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

I have been blocked for completely the right reason and believe the time allocated for my block is fair. I apologise unreservedly for my actions and I will not be using multiple accounts again. However, I must admit that it was fun trying to see if I could get away with it and I am surprisingly happy that I was caught, as it shows the system does work. I have also learned a great deal about the Wikipedia 'process' in terms of editing and creating new pages as a result of this experience and am much more likely to contribute meaningful articles and edits now that I know the process is robust. I will also continue to work on the Conor Brian Quinn article and would be most appreciative if an administrator could copy it to my sandbox should the page be deleted before my edit block expires :) CallanGrey1972 (talk) 04:39, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
