Welcome!

Hello, Deepolo, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Growshop, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Ash (talk) 07:57, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Growshop. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Ash (talk) 16:59, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Material can be used for non commercial use. * Terms & conditions [1]*Deepolo (talk) 07:31, 16 September 2009 (UTC)Deepolo

That is insufficient, see Wikipedia:Non-free content which is quite explicit on the matter and discusses "non-commercial use" material.—Ash (talk) 07:37, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

The Guardian clearly lays out that permission to use their material must be sought out regardless of the intended purpose [2], I would suggest that was doubly true in the case of Wikipedia, where our licensing policy requires that existing copyright claims on the material be virtually abandoned. This may not hold sway in the case of a brief (and properly attributed) quote from copyrighted material, but what you're doing is simply copying and pasting several paragraphs at a time from the source and directly incorporating them into the article without any permission whatsoever. thanks Deconstructhis (talk) 15:23, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
