Copying and pasting from other sources

Hi SoldierofTruth. I was reviewing Inspired By Muhammad and discovered that quite a lot of the article's material was a straight copy of this web page. Published materials are implicitly copyright, so reusing them wholesale in this way is a copyright infringement, something we can't allow in Wikipedia. I've blanked the content that appeared to have been directly copied.

I believe that the "Inspired by Muhammad" campaign has received sufficient news coverage to justify an encyclopedia article, but the content of that article - though it needs sourcing to existing publications - should be written in original prose. I hope this makes sense - feel free to ask if you have any questions. Gonzonoir (talk) 13:03, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Gonzonir for the updates I am happy with them. I am not affiliated with the project and first time on Wikipedia, so my apologies for the blanket infrignement :P. But thank you for your time and effort to make the correct changes and clear it up.
