[edit] NDSU article
Thanks for your interest in working on the North Dakota State University article. However, much of what you added was taken directly from external websites and pasted into the Wikipedia article. This is a practice that should be avoided. In general, all text you add to Wikipedia articles should be in your own words. Much of what you added to the article was good and valid, but it needed to be reworded so it was not a word-for-word copy of what you found on the external NDSU pages. I just finished working on the article and reworded/edited everything to the point where it should all be ok now. Just remember to avoid copying material in the future. Again, welcome to Wikipedia. --MatthewUND(talk) 04:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hey, don't worry about it. Lots of what you added to the article was good stuff. It just had to be reworded/trimmed a bit. Hope to see you around Wikipedia! --MatthewUND(talk) 00:40, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
