Hello. Another contributor recognized and flagged that content you added to this article had been copied; it seems you duplicated it from the Physicians Desk Reference. The material you added has been removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

While addressing this issue, I noticed that you had also changed a quote in a way that made it inaccurate. The quote in the article read "Studies in the rat following oral administration at dosage levels up to 50 mg/kg per day revealed that the females exhibited an increase in the number of resorbed embryos and a decrease in the number of living fetuses at the highest dose." You altered it to read "Studies in the rat following oral administration at dosage levels up to 0.05 mg/kg per day revealed that the females exhibited an increase in the number of resorbed embryos and a decrease in the number of living fetuses at the highest dose." The original quote checks out to [1]. Clearly, this is a tremendous difference. Please do not alter quoted content in a way that contradicts the sources. If you are in possession of a reliable source that offers different figures, you may add that to the article, but misleading our readers as to what our sources say is a violation of the verifiability policy.

While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:21, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
