Former contents of this page

Hi Ianotriathlete. FYI, your user talk page (i.e. this page) is intended as a place for other Wikipedians to leave messages for you (like I am doing right now!) rather than as a place to create draft articles. I have moved the former contents of this page (the draft of the Francis Tucker article) to a personal sandbox page located at User:Ianotriathlete/sandbox. If you have any questions about the use of user talk pages or sandboxes (or any other questions at all!), please leave a message at my talk page. DH85868993 (talk) 02:53, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Francis Tucker

Hi Ianotriathlete. I have removed most of the text from the Francis Tucker article because it appears to have been directly copied from this webpage. In Wikipedia, such direct copying of text from other websites is considered a copyright violation and is not permitted. You are, of course, welcome to rewrite the text I deleted in your own words and add it back into the article. Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 03:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Supervan

I note that you have made several edits to Sarel van der Merwe and also created Supervan as a redirect. Sarel van der Merwe did not mention, though, the Supervan nickname, leading to this proposed deletion. I have added that information, but if you would please add a more authoritative source, it would be appreciated. Thanks, Cnilep (talk) 00:58, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
