Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the page
Re: Disklavier
Hello - thanks for the message. On April 17, the article was reported to
The article was copied from several Yamaha sites and manuals, including here, here, here, and this page, among several others. There was not a clean version (free of copyrighted material) in the article's history, so I was left with no choice but to delete the article and start over.
For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
Also, it is not a good idea to leave your email address anywhere on Wikipedia, as the entire site is crawled by Google and can remain available in Google's cache indefinitely. I've removed your email address from my talk page. Instead, when you post to user talk and article talk pages, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when.
Thanks again for the message. Happy editing - KrakatoaKatie 22:45, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- No problem - we need an article on the instrument, and it's unfortunate that lazy editors simply copied Yamaha's material. If you have questions or need help, please let me know. And I see you weren't properly welcomed to the project, so here you go... :-)
