User talk:Neil Gill
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Thomas Boyd (1798-1885) article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."
You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Naconkantari 06:30, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
June 2007[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Hume and Hovell expedition, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. The information you added to this article is being added as if it is a running commentary. You are free to add and encouraged to do so but please follow the guidelines for making such additions. I will post a welcome message that gives you links immediately after this message. Good Luck --VS talk 13:56, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
