Hey, nice start on the Highjacking article. Shame really we can't copy paste from Wikipedia and work from their - but I saw that you contributed their, so you can certainly copy any of the stuff you wrote here. Good luck with the article and happy editing! Sean Heron (talk) 12:53, 20 April 2009 (UTC) P.S. if you have any questions, feel free to ask[reply]

It wasn't copypasted, it was written anew. 70.29.213.241 15:25, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You misunderstand me - I realise you are adhering to the licence terms and wrote the article anew - and good of you! I just meant to say I think it's a shame we mustn't copy and paste from the Pedia, as I think it would make our lives easier. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Sources[edit]

Hey again :). I'd like to review the article, but it seems to me their are rather many sources. We usually just use sources that actually carry information that is used in an article - the same info is not usually covered by multiple sources (to ease fact checking for one). Additional sources can be added to the talk page of course (for people wanting to add, etc.). Regards Sean Heron (talk) 13:00, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All the sources were used. As seen from the Wikipedia article, some facts have multiple sources corroborating it. 70.29.213.241 15:25, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I was trying to get at - we don't usually do multiple sources for the same fact here - as it just makes fact checking more tedious. Sorry if I'm coming across rude - I realise that it's some work to put together the sources. For the sake of the reviewers though, less is more here (of course we don't cut information just to use less sources though...). Sean Heron (talk) 16:24, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
