This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as your recent edits on Tsunami Society. If you infringe copyright on Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. —C.Fred (talk) 06:29, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am owner and author of tsunami society website - as well as holder of CC-By license for this website. This was not a copyright infringement. What do I need to do to get past this hurdle? I must update the Tsunami Society information on Wikipeda. Go to http://www.tsunamisociety.org . CC-By license is displayed. In addition - I am author of that website and the copied material is material I have written. (Megawave 07:43, 2 January 2010 (UTC)).
