[edit] Hello

Thank you for making all those new pages on children's book awards, it's really helpful. But I've noticed that you seem to be copying the text of these articles straight from YALSA's website. Unless they say otherwise, websites are copyright to whoever wrote them. It's okay to quote small portions sometimes, but not to just take large bits of them - even if you say where you got it from. You can use other websites as references when you're writing articles but you should rephrase things in your own words. The pages that you've already put up need to be rewritten so that they aren't coping; I've started doing a bit of work on that but you should probably go over them too.

By the way, as a new user you might find it useful to take a look at Wikipedia's welcome page. It's got lots of links to pages that tell you about how Wikipedia works, how to write articles, etc. Happy editing! :) -- KittyRainbow (talk) 17:45, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
