Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

What to do next edit

I'm happy to hear that you understand our commitment to respect for copyright.

I am not permitted to restore copyright violations but I'll meet you part way.

I had applied a process called revdel, which meant you couldn't even look at your prior edits. I've temporarily undone that. I realize you a new editor so let me explain what you can do. Use the view history tab on the article which will bring you to this page

Click on the button which says "compare selected revisions". That will bring up a page which will show you everything I removed some of which is a copy file and some of which was not. Do not undo the edits but simply copy and paste whatever information you needed and then re-create it as a new edit.

Please let me know when you are done so that I can hide the versions with the copyright issues.

Thanks again for understanding and good luck editing.--S Philbrick(Talk) 01:51, 5 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

I've screencapped all of the information I needed. Thank you again for your help! Haeinc (talk) 02:03, 5 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for letting me know, I've restored the revdel on the prior edits.--S Philbrick(Talk) 12:15, 5 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
