Your addition to Mohammad Fouad has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
- Please do not copy and paste text from other sources into a wikipedia article. See the links noted in the warning. I would be interested in helping you expand the article. If you find some WP:Reliable sources on Fouad and paste them into the talk page: Talk:Mohammad Fouad I will try and expand the article in the next 24 hours.

[edit]Please, just hang on a second. If the article's name is incorrect Wikipedia has a way of fixing it that doesn't involve copy and paste. Please wait. Write here to say you understand this message. Thanks, Mechanical digger (talk) 14:56, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I see you have created an updated copy of Mohammad Fouad and called it Mohamed Fouad - I presume you think that "Mohamed Fouad" is the correct spelling. However, there is a problem with the way you are approaching it.
In accordance with Wikipedia's Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License, the author of each individual addition to an article must be identifiable via the article history, and if you create a new version of an article by copying and pasting the old one and then adding some more material of your own, you will lose the original article history.
If you wish to add new material to the article, you should add it to the original one, Mohammad Fouad. If you then believe that the title is spelled incorrectly, you should discuss it on the Talk page and see if there is a consensus that agrees with you. If there is, the article will be renamed by Moving it, not by Copying and Pasting to the new title.
If there's anything you don't understand about this, please shout and I'll be happy to explain further.

- Oh, I have just looked back at the article history, and I see that the new material you added is the same material that has been removed before as a copyright violation. You must not add any material to a Wikipedia article that you have taken from a copyrighted source. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:48, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
