Catawba College[edit]

I partially undid your edit because it has added copyright material from http://www.gocatawbaindians.com/page.asp?articleID=2170. Please do not re-add copyrighted material, wikipedia takes copyright laws very seriously. If you own the copyright, there are steps you can take, but for now, please stop. I removed the controversy section if you think it's not neutral (although it is sourced). Sro23 (talk) 04:25, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay so i am trying to just put information from the organizations website onto wikipedia to make it as accurate as possible and who are you like an administrator of wikipedia or something?

No, this is just a hobby for me, same as you. Please read Wikipedia:Copyright problems. That "©" sign at the bottom of the web page you copied from means that the material belongs to Catawba College Public Relations, Athletics, and no one has permission to copy it. Like I said, wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously. Could you try stating the content in your own words instead? Sro23 (talk) 04:52, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay. So i wasn't doing anything wrong really. I can put the information on it as long as it's in my own phrasing coorect? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.41.51.7 (talk) 18:22, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
