Copyrighted website text

edit

You copied all of your sentences about Richard Haines from this website, which claims a copyright to the text on that page and explicitly forbids copying it. I deleted most of the article and left just the bare bones. MicroPaLeo (talk) 21:16, 22 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Richard Haines is a notable American muralist, and having an article about him on Wikipedia is appropriate, you just have to write the article in your own words. MicroPaLeo (talk) 22:04, 22 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
