Quick message re. deleting my Gardasil additions

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gardasil&diff=next&oldid=297365405
(I hope this is what you meant by "leave me a message here"!) Anyway, it's no big deal, but if you could look at the above link and let me know a bit more about what you meant I'd be grateful.

You said: (rv:youtube is not a reliable source, and the cdc is not Merck).

Quick notes:
(1) My source wasn't Youtube, it was CBS. Youtube is simply the repository for the CBS footage.
(2) I wasn't suggesting that the CDC was Merck in any way and it couldn't be construed as such, but the text as it was, said "with NO evidence the vaccine has caused serious adverse effects" was a corporate point of view written as fact and needed clarification or at least 'levelling'.
Anyway, it's all mute as the article has been revised hundreds of times since then, I'm just trying to understand more about Wiki editing.
Cheers, matthk BFB "Will it to be and you have of it" (talk)

An article you have edited List of participants in the creation–evolution controversy has been nominated for deletion.

Copying text between articles

Back in 2009 you copied text from one article to another:

• Macroevolution -- Aunt Entropy at 17:31, 17 October 2009 (attempt to add ref) diff

However you did not provide adequate attribution, and the text you copied only included short citations with no corresponding long citations in a References section.

There are three articles with the short citations to "Pinholster 2006." but no long ones in a References section which were created with the following edits:

• Macroevolution -- user:Aunt Entropy at 17:31, 17 October 2009 (attempt to add ref) diff
• Kent Hovind -- user:Kevinkor2 at 22:50, 25 September 2010 (Copied general argument from Creation–evolution controversy) diff
• Denialism -- user:ComfyKem at 15:13, 28 February 2013 -- no comment diff

Thanks to Kevinkor2 including the name of the article it is possible to trace the original to Creation–evolution controversy. Including the name of the article is part of the copyright policy, but it also helps editors find and fix problems like this one.
