[edit] Adult Children of Alcoholics
I'm very sorry, but I was obliged to delete your article on Adult Children of Alcoholics, because - and this is one of Wikipedia's very strict rules - you copied it from other sources. I know you meant well, but you absolutely positively can't do that. It has to be original to you. You can use other websites as sources of information, yes, but you can't use their words - only their ideas.
You're welcome to try again, though, as you're right to say that it's a topic which deserves an article. DS 17:18, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Don't look like a vandal. Please provide an edit summary when you edit.
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Will (Talk - contribs) 00:09, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please sign your talk page posts
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, 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 name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! Will (Talk - contribs) 00:10, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
