Copyright issues

Hi Vihash. Please can you ensure that your students are aware of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Put simply, they may not copy material into Wikipedia from other sites - if they do, it will be deleted, and if they persist, they will be blocked. I'm raising this with you as I've just had to delete the work of your student User:Tunga Haulofu, who had copied information on NamPower from several sites and then pasted it together.
