Hi, thank you for joining Wikinews. I have just read your contribution and noticed that there are two pages with the same text. I am not sure what has happened exactly, but is one or the other containing potentially infringing text from another site? I was confused after seeing that one is commented as Heavy Lift Delta IV Rocket Launch Problems, but the same with the previous article here: Heavy Lift Delta IV Rocket Launches.
Also I was wondering if you used some text from this source.
Just to be clar, I am not so much scrambled or alarmed about what you did, but just want to know what is going on so that I can help doing some clean-up job, like deleting potentially infringing text (if there exist any) from the history of any page. So may I ask you to tell me about those things?
Thank you for your time, and I hope you will stay around. Tomos 09:08, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
