Template:Welcome-copyright
Hello, and Wikibooks! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikibooks may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission.

Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
