Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Ascot Racecourse article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the "Help Desk". You can also leave a message on my talk page. --Kateshortforbob _talk 12:08, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message on my talk page, Tomascot. Yes, it is perfectly alright to have this year's fixture dates in the article, as well as the removal of the section about Ascot United - thanks for updating the article! The only problematic bits were the parts from Ascot's website; you can use the website as a reference, but any material you add to Wikipedia must be in your own words. Adding straightforward facts such as dates is okay - and you can add the source of the information as a reference, by simply enclosing the website between <ref> and </ref> after the final date. Please let me know if you need any assistance; we also have a Helpdesk for Wikipedia editors.--Kateshortforbob _talk 16:37, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
