Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Missouri Compromise 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."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page.
Please don't take sentences from www.infoplease.com -- it's a copyright violation. Also, your other edits are poorly spelled and ungrammatical -- please take some time to review your edits, and use the preview button!!! before hitting the save page button. Thanks. -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 01:38, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't question your good faith, but you seem to be engaged in a bit of an edit war on the Missouri Compriomise. It isn't productive for you or anyone else to make the same edits over and over, and have them reverted over and over. Please consider opening a discussion on the talk page for that article if you wish to see your points become a part of the article. Regards, DMorpheus (talk) 14:53, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
