Be careful with copyrights[edit]

I had to remove most of the material from the Konstantinos Theofylaktos and Konstantinos Konstantinidis articles, because you copied and pasted it from a copyrighted website. Please be careful in the future. Regards, PDCook (talk) 20:23, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I had to do the same for Saint Gregory of Nyssa Metropolitan Church. PDCook (talk) 20:28, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs[edit]

Hello Euxine! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot notifying you on behalf of the the unreferenced biographies team that 1 of the articles that you created is currently tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 942 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Disambiguation link notification for August 15[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Arthur David Murray, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Russian. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
