On the Animated Series episodes that you're adding trivia, bloopers, etc to. Is that text all of your own writing, or is it being cut and pasted from elsewhere? -- Sulfur 02:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Copying & pasting
Edit
It is asked that you only submit original work to MA and not simply copy and paste text to articles. doing otherwise could consitute a copyright violation. Also, we do not allow nitpicks of the episodes as per a discussion at Ten Forward. Please keep this in mind in the future. Thank you. --From Andoria with Love 12:54, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- Also, please don't add opinions to articles. Thank you again. --From Andoria with Love 03:44, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
